Lizard. alleged murderer. train robber
and blackmailer, was placed on trial
In circuit ~ here today on the
charge Of numbering Deputy Sheriff
Frank Twombly the night OF Novem.
Der 10.
Lard It is alleged, killed the depu-
ty sheriff while speeding through East
Portland. following his act of rob
bling the gatekeeper at the Interstate
bridge. Twombly a no idea Lard
was a robber. merely chasing him as
a speeder. The gatekeeper at the.
bridge was relieved of $123.
Augusta Carlson. who had posed
as the wife of Laird for several
months preceding his arrest, is said
by the police to have confessed that
Lard robbed the bridge gate keeper
and killed Twombly. The police say
she declared she feared hat II Lizard
was not arrested he would kill her be-
cause OF her knowledge OF his crimes.
1t is also said h implicated Lizard in
the hold-up of a Great Northern
train near Seattle last September, and
in a b~lackmailing scheme against
prominent citizens of Portland.
The man who went on trial today
faces the following charges: Second
degree murder. highway robbery,
train robbery. larceny of government
bonds. desertion from the army and
violation of his parole from the walia
Walla p~enitentiary.
1t is predicted tina Lard's defense
will be that Augusta Carlson framed"
the case against him to protect the
real murderer. whom she loves more
