KILLED BY SENTRY FOR NOT HALTING
Shoots When Taxi Driver Fails to
 Stop on Order

New York, Oct. 16,--sergean nj Thomas J. Pierce of the First Tank company stationed at Miller Aviation l Field, Staten Island, was shot and Killed by a sentry early yesterday morning near the field when the driver of a taxicab in which Pierce
 was riding, refused to stop. The sen tries had orders to halt all cars ap- preaching the reservation after night fall. Pierce had been to New York with Corporal Louis O'Klock, and returned after midnight. He got a taxcab at ! the New Dorp station to drive two miles to the neld. When the car neared the field, Michael Liebowitz of the First Signal Corps. the sentry stepped out in the road and ordered the driver of the cab to halt. Ap- parently the driver did not hear him, for he kept on and Liebowitz drew his automatic and fired three times. One of the bullets went through the windshield, one went wild, and the other through Pierce's heart. He died almost instantly. The cab stopped after the shots and after a military ambulance had been called Pierce was taken to the United States hos pital at Fort Wadsworth, where he died.
 When Liebowitz was questioned by Colonel c. r. Humphries. he said that he did not fire at the car. but that his army automatic kicked up after the first shot and the second must have been the one that hit Pierce. He was overcome with grief because he and Pierce had been friends. It was their first enlistment. Pierce, whose home was in Butte. Mont, had only two months to serve, and Liebowitz had only few months more.
 Liebowitz was placed under guard and will be court -martialed The New Dorp Lane at the point where the shooting occurred runs between government property, so Colonel Humphries told District Attorney Malloy that the army would take charge of the investigation and trial of Liebowitz. A dozen officers and men corroborated Liebowitz's state ment that the army automatics kick hard when fired, and that it was pos- sible for him to have shot Pierce without aiming at the car.

'WIffACCUSEDOF IT.
 MURDERING TWINS
Is kArrSted on Warrant Sworn to
 by Husband .

South Bend, Ind. Oct. 1e.--A re. mlrkable story was revealed here late Saturday night in the arrest on the charge of double murder Of Mrs. Hasel McNally, 2s years old, former lyof Hammond, Ind, now of this city. It !s alleged by Frank McNally. age 50 years old. and husband of the woman. that she murdered her twins, born on December 8, 1921. The chill dren disappeared, according to Me Nally. between January 25 and Feb ruary l, 1922.
 The arrest of Mrs. McNally follows an investigation which has occupied several months by the Hammond au- thorities, according to Prosecutor Jel- lison. Twice the woman escaped the clutches of the law, the states at torney says, because of her feasible ing circumstances surrounding her married life.
 In order to detain the woman until the Hammond authorities could com plete their investigation Mrs. McNally was arrested and held on techni- cal charge of assault and battery, this charge also having been preferred by her husband, who traced her to South Bend.
 Clainped Defects.
 Mrs. McNally, who. is trained nurse, professed to see physical de- fleets in the twins soon after their birth. the husband claims, and she left her home in Hammond on Jan- uary 25 ostfnsibly to place the chil- dren in a Chicago hospital for treat fnent. She returned home soon, ac- cording to her husband,s and explained that the twins would be left in the hospital until February
 Prosecutor Jellison says McNally told him that on February the wom-. an again went to Chicago and on her return had with her the supposed children, which were in reality two large dolls.
 "The twins are still very i'll and have weak eyes" 1t is alleged she told her husband, and they must be kept in darkened room and remain un- disturbed. It will be some time be- fore you can see them"
 McNally said he was content to re- ly on the experience of his wife, be- cause she had been a nurso. He compiled with Mrs. McNally's request for a twin baby carrier.
 . Dolls Substituted.
 Tn May, McNalIy- informed Jellison, he discYered by accident. that the supposed babies were dolls. At the same time the; discovery also was made by neighbors and the Hammond police were notified. .s
 Mrs. McNally explained to the au- thorities. 1t is stated, that the babies were still in hospital, and the pres ence, of the dolls in her house was accepted as one of her eccentricities.
 In the meantime the woman made several trips to Chicago, and finally disappeared altogether from Ham mond, later being located in South Bend After her arrest she was taken before the state attorney and Chief. of Police Lane and questioned. She was confronted with her husbands story, and declared. the twins were now in the care of a family at Green | Bay, Wis. Later she admitted that she was trying to mislead the author ities Maintaining her innocence, she l declared that she had never given | birth to twins and that the incident 1 of the dolls was merely a hoax which | che played on her husband.
 Mrs. McNally was taken to Ham |mond by a detective from that place.
