Craig Chesterfield, claiming to be the

guilty in the District Court at Ere

two years ago at Rehberg's cabin in

theory that the three, whose names

DEFENDS RAILROAD:
REPAIRING SYSTEM
Chairman of Executives Calls
Outside Shops "Good
Business -. IL :.

The practice of several of the trunk
line railroads in sending rolling stock
to outside shops for repairs was said
by Thomas De Witt Cuyler, chairman
utives, in a statement issued today, to
be a matter of good business and
sound management"
Railroad labor representatives at
tackled the practice recently. charg :
ing that the sending of the work of
the railroads to outside shops brought
increased transportation costs which
the public ultimately had to pay. The
Interstate Commerce Commission has
the matter under investigation.
Mr.. Cuyler quoted from reports
made by officials of several roads to
ment during federal control and also
to explain why much of the repair
work was sent to outside shops.
"On December 81, 1917, the Atlantic
Coast Line had only ninety three To-
comotives that had made over 100000
miles, and on February 2s, 1920, there
were 11S which had made over 100.-
900 miles, difference of twenty-five,
and this in spite of the fact that dur
ing the period of federal control there
had been added eighty-five new loco
motives. all of which were of the
Coast Line Railroad Company
This created condition which
made it impossible for us to keep up
at our shops with the requirements of
repairs to meet the power demand,
and we were forced very regretfully
to place thirty of our locomotives
needing the heaviest repairs with the
Baldwin Locomotive Works upon the
best terms that we could make with
them. Superheaters were to be placed
upon all thirty of these engines. to-
gether with some other improve
ments"

SCHNURR'SS[AYER

Five Men Seen in Car lust

Robbery Only Motive.

Schnurr. ST.. fifty-nine years old. 1881
1st street, in front of the residence
of DR.. H. T. Schildroth. 1907 1st street
has not been esta blished by the police
No witness thus far found has been
able to suggest motive for the crime
other than robbery. and police officials
today said it appeared very much as
if the Staying was done by stick up
men.
Schnurr was on his way home from
his barber shop at 3rd and P streets
and had been accompanied as far as
3rd and Bates streets by DR.. Powell
Withers, proprietor of a drug store in
the building adjoining the barber
east on Bates street, going to his
home at 119 on that street, the barber
continuing north on 3rd street.
When the men separated, it is
stated, Schnurr walked north to Q
street, turned east to 1st and was
home when he was slain. 1t is now
believed by some Of the police assist
ing in the investigation that DR..
Withers was the man marked for
robbery. and that the presence on the
street Of other persons suggested the
advisability of occupants of the mur-
der car abandoning him as a victim
and going after Schnurr.
Saw Car Near Barber Shop.
Two men were found by the police
who had noticed a car parked on Sd
street near the barber shop. There
were five men in the car. the police
were told, and there was something
about it's presence there to arouse
their suspicious.
1t is said that when the car reached
Sd and Bates streets. where Schnurr
and DR.. WitherS separated. these two
men. whose suspicious were aroused
by the action of the men in the car.
placed themselves in a position which
would have put them near the drug
gist in event of an attack on him
Because Of their presence. according
to the witnesses version Of the affair
occupants of the car quickly changed
their plans and followed the pro-
prietor of Eureka barber shop to the
place where the murder was COM
mitted.
schnurr. according to information OBJ
tained by the police. had been in the
habit of counting his daily cash re-
ceipts on a table near the front window
others had warned him that the practice
was dangerous one. 1t was sug-
gested to him that it would be well for
him to draw his curta ins before counting
his cash. but his reply was that he did
everything above board. He said he had
no IDEA tnat ne Woutd De troubled Tor
what money he had carried.
Slayer Frightened by Outcry.
The fact that the slayer made no eff
fort to rob the barber after the latter
fell on the pavement mortally wounded,
a detective said. does not necessarily
indicate robbery was not the motive. 1t
may be that the slayer was taken by
surprise by the loud outcries uttered
by Mrs. Schildorth. who thought the
l. :.
to make a getaway before it became too
late.
Police of the eighth precinct today
sent a message to the police of the sew
eral precincts asking that owners of
gasoline service stations be requested to
be on the alert for Cadillac coupe, with
right-hand drive, occupied by three or
five white men. twenty to twenty-five
years old.
