City Detective Gains Free
dom ON Plea Of Self
Defense.
TRIAL LASTS ONE DAY
Brother Officers Are Char
acter Witnesses; Say Vic
tim Was Dangerous.

CITY Detective Lawrence w. H'W-
lev was given clean bin yesterday III
the court of Justice Daniel for inc
killing Of Frank Colson on sunday
night. April .. The case was before
the court throughout the day and an
endless string of witnesses was cal''"
to the stand to tell about the alfair.
The evidence introduced pr"Ntu pr-
yond "A doubt to the court that 'ht o.
iicer had been wholly Wllhlh MS
rirhts when he fired the shot that re
sulteI in Colsou's death. Witnesses
were divided ON the point as 10
whether Colsou had rushed at the oi-
nccr with a flatiron in his hand. hul
If was the contention of several oI
them that he had something IN ms
right hand while IT was admitted by
the plaintiff that he had grabbed up
tin pail IN his left.
EeWley was called to the stand ana
told of the shooting. lie told the
court that he had been ON the ponce
force for nearly two years and ihhl
Colson had been regarded by the OF
ficcrs as one of the most dangerous
men in the city when under the inllu-
cnce of drugs or liquor
The officer said that in company
with Detective Harry Antrobus he
went To the home of G. l.. DAVIS on
Cameron street about midnight on tn,
night Of the shooting, following u
complaint to police headquarters
where Colson was found sitting nat
less and in his stocking feet
Witnesses told of how the ofilcer'
had attempted to talk to the drink
craZed man and reason with him to
come with them. After talking some
time Colson got up from his seat and
walked to the front door while the Of
ficcrs walked on ahead of him
Reaching the door Colson saw the po-
lice patrol standing in front of ih'
house and this seemed to enrage MN
Instead of walking to the patrol he
walked around the house and BcwleN
followed him. Colson then grabbed vi
the tin pail and the flatiron which Jay
near by and turned on Bcwley wh'
had followed him. Testimony showed
that Bewley called To Colson to stol
and throw up his hands but he cam'
on when IIewlcy fired one shot Il
frighten him. Instead of dropping hi
weapons Colson continued to come "A

bullet was fired into his left shoulder
The bullet ranged downward and h

died an hour and half later at the
Tulsa hospital.
Practically every police officer took
the stand in Bcwlcy's behalf and de
clarcd he was one of the most eff
Ciont men ever on the pay roll of the
city. Testimony of the witnesses for
the defense and the plaintiff differed
only on immaterial points.
Mrs ColsOn, mother Of the dead
man. sat with her attorneys through
out the dav and at times prompted
them in their examination of wit
ncsscs. She was In heavy mourning.
She rcfuted the story told that her
son had hit her in the forehead with n
hatChet at one time, and said that she
had stepped between Frank and one
of his brothers who were having a
quarrel and was hit with the top of
butter can accidentally. Mrs. Colson
said her son was all compassion and
threw his arms about her neck and
cried after he had done II, She de-
clarcd it was purely an accident.
After Bcwlcy had been released
from custody and held blameless for
the shooting his brother officers and
friends rushed to his side and shook
hands with him.
1t is believed the action of Justice
Daniel will be final in the matter and
that his decision Will be the end OF
the ease.

Thousands Are Coming
To State In Automobiles

Courtesy and aid to motorists vis-
iting California in 1916-and there
will be thousands of them-is to be
policy continued by members of the
Automobile Club of Southern Califor-
mia this year, according to President
Fred L. Baker of that organization.
\That this policy may become gen.
efal throughout the southern part OF
the state is the plea made by the clubs
president yesterday, and it is one which
Has already been adopted by the gov
erning board of the Panama California
international Exposition at San Diego.
Just how this can be accomplished has
been outlined by Mr.. Baker:
Southern California has earned a
reputation throughout the East as one
of the greatest touring grounds in the
world, because of its network of i'm
proved roads and its scenic advantages,
as well as it's ll-the-year-round tour
ing possibilities" he pointed out.
During 1915 there were approXi-
mately $4,000 automobiles in South
ern California from points outside OF
the state, carrying 100000 motorists,
spending millions of dollars here. AT
automobile club headquarters and
branch offices they generally ex-
pressed surprise at the excellence OF
the roads here-they were better thar
they had expected.
"But at the same time many of then
expressed wonder at the selfishness
of some of the local automobile own
ers while On the road. This took def
mite form, they said, as one gentleman
reported:
so was stalled on the Coast rout'
between Los Angeles and San Dieg'
with a mutilated fan belt, and tn
hood was lifted.
"'Several cars bearing California Ii
cense plates passed without offering
help. Finally l secured strip o
leather from party stopped by wav
ing my arms pleadingly. l don't thin
that it was selfishness that prompte
those motorists to pass by, bu
thoughtlessness. In some of the East

ern states this would not have hap
pened.'
"This is one of several cases where
remarks of this sort have been made,
said President Baker.
81 do not believe that it is generally
true that California motorists are
thoughtless, but it does seem true that
there is a tendency along this line
where automobilists are travelling be-
tween points which are long distances
apart and where the party is hurrying
toward destination.
at is feeling of 'let the fellow be-
hind me stop and help the man in
trouble Of course it is an accepted
custom that driver having difficulty
should step into the highway and sig
nal passing cars for help.
"But if Southern California motor
lists, seeing foreign car in trouble
would stop and ask if there is anything
to be done in the way of aid, the hos
pitality Of the state would at once be
commented upon favorably."
1t is planned by the Automobile
Cluo to act as host to an visiting mo-
torists this year, as it did last, accord
ing to Secretary Standish l.. Mitchell
During 1915 more than 100000 maps
were distributed to visitors, and this
is a concrete instance of hospitality.
According to Secretary Mitchell, il
is believed by club officials that $4,000
automobiles bearing license plates O.
other states will reach Southern Cali
| fornia this year.
