DETAILS OF SHOOTING
O. r. Crawford Writes Father About
Death of His Partner.


Details. OF the shooting of Harold
Halstead, of San. Francisco, by Gus
toms officials on the road from Ell
Paso to Sierra Blanca. Tex, Monday
night, have been received here by L.
N. Crawford from his son, C. P. Craw-
ford, who was driving the car in which
Halstead was riding at the time of his
death. ..s~.
Crawford said he was driving along
| the road when five men stepped in
front of his car and ordered him to
stop.
ITS a hold-up. Give her gas" Hal
stead shouted. according to Crawford
Crawford speeded up the car and
| swept past the men. A volley of shots
was fired after them. Crawford ran q
distance of two miles before he was
compelled to stop by the damage te
his car from the bullets. When he
brought the machine TO a halt, he
found Halstead WAS dead. Meantime
| the customs officials had given pur-
| suit in their own car.
They explained, according to Craw:
ford. that they thought his car was a
| booze runner AS bandits were
| thick in that section OF the country
the motorists supposed they were con-
| fronted with highwaymen, as the of
ficials had nothing about them to dis
| tinguish them, Crawford says.
The Ell Paso Times. in an editorial
denounced the shooting as an outrage
Crawford expressed great indignation
and grief concerning. the death of his
business associate. Two OF the OF
ficials were placed under arrest pend
ing an investigation, it was said
