HIP POCKET DEFENSE IS
 TINTED AT BY LOHLEIN

Announcement by the county at torney's office that John Lohlein ihad admitted that he killed Charles Summers seven miles north Of Pres colt on the Ash Fork road the night before. overshadowed the find ings of the coroner's jury to the same general effect, as a second-day development of the sensational homi- eide story of yesterday.
 Self-defense is intimated by Loh- ilein as a probable course, in his ad- missions, according to the county attorneys office.
 "He reached for his gun and shot him."
 In those simple words. Lohlein, sitting weak and faint on the run ming board of an automobile in the sheriff's o&ce garage, yesterday morning told Sheriff Davis and Joe Furst "how it happened"
 The accused was taken to the garage where his automobile. still bearing the splotches of blood and cerebral tissues from the head of lthe deceased, had been moved from the rear of 130 North Montezuma. Standing there, looking at the gory traces of the act, Lohlein was said by the officers to have maintained his coolncss but for a few moments. Then, sinking down, he would have fallen but for the fact he stood be tween two automobiles close to- gether. He sat down on the rum ming board of one of the cars and, the others having left the place, told Davis and Furst what purported to be his account of the homicide.
 He expressed no regret or horror, but advanced the claim that both he >nd Summers were intoxicated and that he had suspected his compan- ion of hostile motives when he reached for his pocket during an argument over an insult to a woman of his acquaintance.
 Why then, did you rob him:" Lohlein was asked.
 "If I did that, I don't remember it." Lohlein is said to have replied. He did not account for the posses sion of sum Of money believed to have been taken from Summers. A pearl-handled Colt AS was found ill Lohlein's trunk that was believed to have belonged to Summers on whose body there was an empty scabbard.
 In the course Of conversation with Davis and Furst, the accused was reported to have reviewed with some attention to detail, the incidents of the day that led up to the homicide. He said Summers and he were ac- quainted and that in the afternoon Summers had visited him at his work bench at the Arizona Saddlery company Both had been drinking.
 About 4 o'clock Lohlein decided to get out in the air and , the two men departed for a ride in Lohlein's car.

He served throughout the war as chief sergeant major in the office of the judge advocate of the American expeditionary forces at general headquarters, where he handled all papers connected with courts-martial and got a glimpse into the exacting study of interna- tional law. LeRoy Anderson, head of the firm, was not an ex-service man, chiefly by reason of the fact they weren't taking them that old. He is almost a pioneer in the local legal fraternity and has been chief counsel for the United Verde Cop per company for a number of years.

SIMILAR CASE RECALLED
 BY KILLING AT YAMPAI

Some details of the alleged killing .of Charles Summers by John Loh- lein early Thursday night are strangely similar to those surround ing the killing of Arthur De Steun- der near Yampai over year ago, all offense for which Nichan Martin is now in the state prison under sen- tence of death.
 In each case the slayer and victim were riding side by side in the front seat of car and the bullet was fired by the. driver. In each case, the body of the deceased was dumped to the ground and dragged from the roadside.
 In the case of the De Steunder murder, however, the body was later partially cremated in a fire built around it by the slayer.

of John Summers, slam last night,
 was found by Sheriff Warren c.
 Davis, Judge Charles H. McLane,
 and the coroner's jury who proceed
 ed to the scene of the murder
 shortly after midnight.
 The clothes and face were covered with blood, and a bullet hole in the top of the head, toward the back, was clotted and sticky. Every pocket
 i'll the mans body had been rifled, the Things remaining where they had been pulled out Only nickel and a nickel-plated watch were found.
 l The body had been dragged fully Go feet from the road, the slayer evidently being either drunk or so
 frightened that he had dragged Ut
 through a stretch oi snow ylnstead
 of oyer the hard ground at one side. 1 The snow at the edge of the road was slightly trampled, showing the attempts of the man to take hold Of
 the body and drag it to hiding. l Large spots of blood reddened the snow. The slayer had evidently dragged the body after him as he mounted the hill, the tracks obliter- ating his footprints. No empty shells were to be found near the spot, and it could not be determined whether Summers had been killed with an automatic or an ordinary six-shooter Guns of both types had been carried by Lohlein.
 The alleged crime was evidently committed in an automobile, as the machine was going away from the town, for blood stains on the right hand running board coincided with those on the ground at the side of the road. No foot prints other than those leading into the brush were found.
 ! The bullet that ended Summers left entered his right cheek, emerg- ing through the top of the head at the back, and apparently continuing through the top Of the car, where a bullet hole was found, just above the right-hand front seat
 Examination of the car, which was driven back 10 Prescott and run into Lohlein's garage, revealed be- side the bullet hole, a quantity .of blood on the front seat, and that on the running board. There was no evidence of a scuffle either in the machine or at the scene of the homicide.
 The shoes worn by Lohlein fitted exactly the tracks at the roads edge and those where the body was left, face downward, behind a sheltering clump of bushes, according to the jury. At the time Sheriff Davis and Deputies Grant Carter and Jim Cook first reached the body, Summers had apparently been dead for about four hours.
 | Examination of the body and the scene was made by the coroner's jury and by Lester Ruifner, who brought the body back 10 town with him last night It was stated by Deputy Cook that Q half-pint bottle, about two-thirds filled with white mule, was found on the prisoner, who stated that he and Summers had had a pint. Lohlein was par tially drunk when seen in Prescott last night following the shooting.
 Following the examination made last night the coroner's jury return led to town. The inquest will be Icompleted in Judge McLane's rooms lat the court house at 0:30 o'clock this morning.

SKIRMISH WON IN STAGE
 WAR BY BUS COMPANY
CFrom Saturdays Daily)


 Promised quick action by Judge Frank H. Lyman of the Maricopa county superior bench, who recently heard arguments here in the famous controversy between the Jerome Union and Arizona Bus stage com panies, was forthcoming yesterday, according to George Nilsson, one of counsel for the Arizona Bus, who said he had learned that Judge Ly- man had sustained the demurrer to the 1erome-Union answer and cross complaint
 The result of this ruling, Nilsson said, was to cause the issuance of a temporary restraining order to pre- vent the Jerome Union from con- tinuing to use the new Prescott Jerome road, despite the fact it had no certificate to use that highway from the corporation commission.
 Final hearing of the case on its merits, it was said, has been fixed for January 50 and will take place in the Yavapai county court before Judge Lyman. At that time, it was intimated, the trial of the case on it's facts will be held, legal questions having been largely settled by rulings.
 Action, if any, by Judge Lyman on the Jerome Unions citation of the commission through Judge Bollinger, once presiding in the case, was not learned.
 The case arose over the conten- ton of the two companies over the right to the use of the short-line road The Arizona Bus company was granted the only certificate to use the road and the other company started stage service without a cer- tificate. The Arizona Bus company asked for an injunction in a com- Dlaint and the Jerome Union filed an answer and cross complaint. The Bus company then demurred to the answer and cross-complaint and it was this document upon whick 1 Judge Lyman ruled yesterday.
 This mornings "stolen news" col nm carries a story clipped from he Republican to the effect that the Jerome Union has diverted the fight nto another channel by suing for writ of mandate to compel the cor
