STANG, IN PRISON, CLOSELY
GUARDED AGAINST
ATTACKS

Rockville, Md, Aug. 20. Threats
of violence against Joseph D. Stang,
of Choppers, who shot and killed
Eugene and John A. Pearson, sons
of Alfred Pearson, farmer, OF
Poolesville, during a melee at Clop-
pers last evening, alleged to have
been made by friends of the Pearsons
today, caused the authorities "a the
county prison here to take added pre-
cautions to safeguard the aged prls-
oner against attacks.
The aged mechanic and his son,
Joseph Stang, are being held at the
prison pending outcome OF an IN
quest into the death of the two
men.
The inquest which was to have
been held today, was postponed
owing to the finding Of a wound IN
the mouth Of John a. Pearson, one
of the dead men, which was believed
to have been caused by a mile bu!-
let. The autopsy upon the bodies,
which was begun last night. shortly
afuer the shooting, was therefore
continued today for the purpose OF
ascertaining teh caus for the mouth
wound.
DR.. William T. Pratt, who con-
Quoted the autopsy, announced last
night that the owound had appar-
entity been Inflicted by blow from
some pointed instrument as no
rifle bullet could be found after a
thorough probing.
Alfred Pearson, the aged father
of the dead man, arrived here TO-
dav to claim the bodies of his sons.
He viewed 5he bodies at the Pun
phery morgue but refused to make
any comment.
Attorney John A. Garrett, of
this city, has been retained by the
Stangs to defend the slayer and hls,
son, who are alleged to have acted
in self-defense. Mrs. Stang ana
her daughter, who are alleged to
have bee nassaulted by the Pearsonss,
conferred with the attorney. Both
women are suffering from painful
injuries. ;, !,
Francis Cahill, one of the alleged
vet ms Of the Pearsons, who rs
suffering from a fracture of the
ffiiaw an1 body injuries, is being
treated at the Sandy Spring Hos
pital, and, being held by the au-
,thorities as witness, IS under
guard.

BOLT PLAYS PRANK WITH SET
TING HEN.

Martinsburg, w. Va, Aug. 20.-A
few days ago Mrs. Coleman Lyme, OF
Middleway, near here, went into her
garden to look for some eggs tina
we're due to hatch. She found that
lightning had struck a near tree and
/ had run down the fence short dis
lance from the nest. In the nest was
sitting the skeleton of the hen, the
bones as clean as if they had been
scraped, the feathers fluffed neatly
back, but none of them even scorched.
The eggs had not been cracked but
a small hole was found in the end
of each and the inside of the shell
burned out as clean as q pin.
