A Narrow Escape.

DR.. j. d. Eggleston. of Takoma
both of near Chesapeake Beach, were
lodged in Jail here by Sheriff Hardy
and Deputy Humphrey on Tuesday
charged with consplring to kill and rob
Gilbert w. Cave, Washington insur-
ance man, who was known to carry
quite an amount of money on him.
Cave was informed by Cant that a
very wealthy young woman living near
Chesapeake Beach, had seen his adver-
tisement of an automobile for sale in a
Washington paper and wished to buy
the machine; so taking Cant along he
started for the supposed home of the
wealthy young woman. When within
mile or so of the place the machine
stuck in the mud and Cant then sug-
gested that they get out and walk
across the fields to the place. When
they arrived at the house which prov
ed to be an old dilapidated shack, they
were met at the door by King who in
formed them that the lady had gone
to Chesapeake Beach, but would be
back in a short time. Cave then no
ticed DR.. Eggleston lurking in the
bushes several hundred yards away and
he scented trouble. Drawing his re-
volver on King he demanded that he
be shown the way back to his machine.
This took Kings nerve and he told
Cave to get away as quickly as posi-
BILE as they intended to kill him.
Cave fastened to Marlboro and in
formed the sheriff and his deputy over
the wire at their respective homes, of
the case. They agreed to meet Cave
at Centerville and accompany him to
the place. There they arrested King
and Cant who, it is said, told them that
DR.. Eggleston had rented the house sew
eral weeks ago stating that he wanted
to use it for club house and had since
gotten them into the plot of robbing
the man At the house were found
ropes which were taken by the Sheriff.
Eggleston was arrested at his home at
Takoma Park and brought here Tues
day. Wednesday morning the prison
ers were taken to Calvert county and
given hearing before Justice Donald,
who released Cant and King on bail
and sent DIR. Eggleston to Jail to await
the action of the Circuit Court.
