Clark, HagerStown, who have been
jointly on trial before three judges since
Monday on charge of murdering Dep
uty Sheriff Clyde L. Hauver, during a
raid on a moonshine still last July 81,
will probably learn their fate before
nightfall
The taking of testimony was complet.
ed during last nights session and the
rebuttal witnesses were called this
morning.
Arguments should be completed TO-
day and the case be in the hands Of
the court late this afternoon.
Father on Stand.
Dallas Lewis, father of Charles Lewis,
was one of the last defense witnesses.
He testified that when Deputy Vernon
Redmond came to arrest his son, Red
mond told him that Hauver was lead
ing the raiding party and was IN that
position when the shooting took place.
The defense has contended that Hauver
was shot by members of the raiding
party. Deputy Redmond and Officers
w. Z. Miller and Allen Berttis CT the
Frederick police department denied
when placed on the stand in rebuttal
that Hauver was in the lead.
Norris Clark and Paul Williams, who
were at the still at the time of the
raid, but who ran when the first shot
was fired, testified that the first mem
Der of the raiding party they saw had
on a white shirt. Deputy Hauver ac-
cording to previous testimony, was the
only one wearing a light shirt during
the raid.
Thomas johnson, colored, Frederick
Jail inmate, testified that man named
Morgan, also an inmate, offered him a
S25 bribe if he would say that he over
heard Osby McAfee say he had done
The shooting, but that Leslie Clark, one
of the accused, told him to tell the
truth no matter whom it hurt.
Testifies AS to Gun.
Hauver was killed by bullet from
.32-caliber revolver and Samuel A.
Lewis, uncle of the accused, and also
defense attorney, took the stand and
testified that it was .30-caliber re-
volver that his nephew had hidden
after the shooting. Attorney Lewis also
testified that Redmond had approached
him and asked il he thought Charles
Lewis would enter into a scheme FOR
raiding the still.
Harry Masser, Thurmont merchant,
testified that Osby McAfee about two
years ago in his store had threatened
to kill the dry raiders If they didn't
leave the still alone.

CULPEPER, Va, December 20.-
Francis Kibler, 60 years old, guard
at the convict road camp near Culpeper
was instantly killed yesterday afternoon
when an automobile in which he was
riding collided with machine owned
by Mrs. Hedges of Belmont street,
Washington, D. c., on the Orange road
just outside of Culpeper. Mrs. Hedges
was injured and after treatment at the
Culpeper Hospital was removed to the
home of her aunt, Mrs. Mary Tanner,
in Culpeper.
Mrs. Hedges was in a car occupied
with her two brothers, the last named
being Beahl, and several women, which
was en- route from Culpeper to Orange
One of her brothers was driving. Kibler
was riding on the running board Of the
Culpeper bound machine when it col
lided with the Washington car, and his
body was dragged for some distance.
Two employees of the Virginia State
Highway Commission, Alan Cropp and
Brown Cannon were in the car with
Kibler. They had picked him up on
the road to carry him to his home In
Culpeper.
An investigation was made shortly
after the accident by Coroner j. w.
HumphrieS, Sheriff j. j. Nash and
Commonwealth Attorney r. A. Dickers,
but the result was not made known.

the existing lines could be combined in
such a way as to be operated practically
as one unified system. Taking all the

number Of turns that a car making a
round trip on each would have to take,
it is found that there are $40 right

There is also some unnecessary dupli-
cation and paralleling of lines. It is
evident that such conditions are not
conducive to the greatest convenience
