HOW THESE DETECTIVES uMRAvElLED CAMP LEWIS
CRIME mYS Terry READS LIKE CONAN DOYLE STORY

1t isn't often that police detec-
tives are handed bouquets for
the long hours and uncomplain-
ing toll devoted to mystery cases
that crop up in the routine of
police work.
The public seldom gets a be-
hind-the-scenes view of these city
Officers at work.
But two Tacoma detectives
Charles Braund and Dick Huck-
aba-deserve big praise and
honorable mention for their Sher-
lock Holmes work on a big case
handled by them during the past
week. So why not give it?
1t was these detectives who
started on a cold trail two full
days after the brutal smuggling of
Lawrence Berquist, and within
SO hours had the would-be MUIR
derer, Private George Pidd, and
Mrs. Pidd in jail charged with the
crime.
Left for Dead.
Berquest was slugged last
Thursday night, his skull frac-
tured with blows from an iron
rod, and he was left for dead in
his automobile on the Camp Lewis
road. Military police and

Tailor Likes to Have
Back Rubbed; Fined

Benjamin +. Waugh, proprietor
Of the Camp Lewis Military Tail
ors, sol Commerce St, who is al.
legged by the police to possess n
peculiar mania for having strange
women rub his back, was found
guilty Of violation of the state
vagrancy statute by Justice Frank
Latcham Wednesday afternoon.
Waugh's undue liberties taken
with Tacoma women caused fine
Of $50 and costs.
The tailor was accompanied in
court by his wife and sixmonths-
old child. He was represented
by Attorney w. G. Heinly.
Mrs. j. X. Scott, 704 South | 18th
St, wife of an officer at Camp
Lewis, was the principal witness.
She arrived from Los Angeles a
few weeks ago and Immediately
sought employment.
Waugh sent for her, thru the
Y. w. c. A., and offered her a
position riding with him In his
delivery car. He said that
thieves we're stealing military uni
forms from his car whenever he
left the machine unattended.
Nurse Testifies.
Mrs. Scott accompanied Waugh
on trial trip to Camp Lewis. Re-
turning to Tacoma at $40 Waugh
suddenly drove his car into a
branch road and stalled the en-
CINE.
Waugh complained that he
couldn't start the engine, and
then declared that he had hurt his
back. He forced the terrified
woman to place her hand on his
back and other parts of his body
to relieve the pain. Mrs. Scott
jumped from the car and escaped
when she saw another machine APP
preaching in the darkness, filled
with soldiers. She later complain
ed to the police.
Mrs. Belle Hennessy, 725k i
street, nurse, testified that
Waugh had sent for her to visit
him at the Hiroshimaya hotel,
18th and Market, and had asked
for massage treatments. He had
given his name as Parker.
Waugh stripped off his cloth
ing and lay on a bed while the
nurse rubbed his back. Mrs. Hen

Wednesday afternoon, after the

Camp Lewis orders Wednesday
forbidding representatives of the

King Albert is one king who ac-
