Representative Eugenio Arias FOR the
murder of Chief of Fo,;ce Armando Riva

him they would be shot
Asbert and Morales say they did not
shoot the chief OF police. Arias admits
that he fired at Riva, but says he did so
In self-defence. Asbert says he did not
fire because his gun would not work.
This IL the same thing that happened
to Whitley Lewis. the New York gunman,
at the time OF the killing Of the gam
bier Rosenthal.
Mrs. Francisco Rug said In an inter-
view tonight that at the time of the
R,ya murder she was walking on the
Prado. The Asbert party passed her in
an automobile and the Governor spoke
to her. A little further on she met the
automobile and the carriage of Chief
Riva. Both were halted, and she saw
Arias get on the step Of the chiefs car

pushed him back. but Arias fired again
a policeman then grabbed Arias and
threw him to the ground Arlas fired
again while on the ground.
Meanwhile. according to Mrs. Ruz. Rivi
