Norton Held For Murder In Onawa Patch Shooting
Onawa farmer G. Norton faces a murder charge after a boy was shot in a melon patch. Norton, aged about 50, showed indifference to the case, refused to hire an attorney, and said he would let the proceedings run their course. He was moved to county jail in Council Bluffs to prevent mob demonstrations as Onawa residents react. Norton spoke briefly to locals, declining comment for now. He appeared agitated when seen near the jail, with gray hair and a heavy mustache.
