Here is what a friend sent you,
md three shots were fired in rapid sue
cession at Manuel Martinez, who
lropped to the ground As he lay on

,ho hal fired at him shot, the bullet
passing through the calf of Martinez
leg. This was the only bullet which
touched him.
This is part of the story which the
man told officers yesterday afternoon
when he was taken to San Benito from
, ranch rear the Rancho Viejo resaea,
nd also near the spot whereNh he was
hot at last Friday, and where Mrs. Rosa
lavazos was murdered few days be-
fore. A'
Although officers would make no
statement connecting the three mys-
terous assaults, it is believed that the
three are connected in some waN
Friday of last week Martinez was shot
at by a man who walked out from be-
hind a clump of bushes with rifle in
his hands. The man disappeared. Yes
teriay he went to a ranch house near
the river, and near the spot of the pre-
vious shootings. As he--stopped- there
the man at the ranch house, whose name
Martinez did not know, told Martinez to
remain away from the ranch, declaring
that Il am tired of seeing you around
here
The man who addressed Martinez
then left, and a short time after two
men approached from the other side
Of the river. AS they neared the spot
where Martinez was standing, he saw
that they carried rifle. One of the
men said, Here is what a friend sent
you," and opened fire with a pistol. He
fired three shots, and Martinez fell to
the ground, although he had not been
touched.
AS he lay on the ground, the other
man shot at him one time the bullet
penetrating his leg.
Martinez lay on the ground for some
time, when man came along in a
wagon. helped him back into his car, and
took him to San Benito, where he was
given medical aid. Dr. Morris of that
city said that the wound was not seri-

The man told his story to Deputy
Sheriff Roy Collins, and State Ranger
RID, Brown, according to reports given
out at the office of Sheriff Sam Robert

on the case now, although belief was ex-
pressed that the men are now across
the river.

Scott Escapes Moose
On Insanity Verdict
(By The Associated Press.)

(By The Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, H., Aug. Tn an in
sane asylum instead of on the gallows,
Russell Scott, erstwhile Canadian fl
nancier will expiate the murder Of a
drug clerk in a holdup.
Gen shock insanity resulting
from fifteen months in Jail and the
ordeals of two mar ow escapes from
the noose-was the verdict Of a jury
last night in a sanity test which saved
him.
The jury's finding and Scott's re-
moval to the Chester Insane asylum
today ended fight for life that prob
badly was the most desperate in Cook
county criminal annals. Seven ballots
and three hours and forty minutes
delibelation were necessary before
the jury agreed.
Five times since Joseph Maurer
was killed in a drug store opposite
the City Hall in April, 1924, Scott has
faced death. Within the last three
weeks, a few hours before the death
march, Scott was saved once by a
weeks reprieve and again by a stay
of execution issued at 2 o'clock in the
morning by Judge Joseph David on a
petition declaring him insane.
Had he been found sane, Judge
David would have imposed a death
sentence once more. Even in the asy-
lum, Scott faces death on the gallows
should he ever be found to have re-
gained his sanity. Warned against
demonstration, spectators and princi
pals greeted the verdict with dram
attic silence. Scott's eyes never left
the slip of paper the jury foreman
passed to the bailiff, who gave it to
the clerk. His mouth twitched
nervously and he fidgeted. Judgment
entered, he was hurried away by
guards.
His relatives heard the verdict with

peace officers to enter his home and
arrest him, surrendered only after sew
eral rounds from automatic rifles had
been fired into his house, was in Jail

He refused to make a statement con-
cerning the killing with which he was
charged, saying he had not yet con-
ferred with his attorneys. No date has

Martins surrender came after he had
said he would give himself up on his
own terms only, they being that he be
permitted to give bond for $4,000. Of
ficers refused to consider his terms
Sheriff w. S. Fry called in about
twenty deputies, and officers from

all armed, surrounded Martins barri-
caded house. There were several per-

them one woman. When Martin re-
fused to give up the officers fired one
round from automatic rifles. Then
they waited for some word from Martin.
When none came a second round
was fired, with no intimatiOn that Mar
tin had changed his mind. After a
third round a man came out and noti-
fled the officers that Martin was ready
to surrender. Martin walked out and
