HELD IN SHOOTING
Charged With Wounding Man
in Fight on Chain
Bridge Hill.

Traffic Policemen Lewis Finks and
Carl Mcintosh of Fairfax Councy today
were arrested by Sheriff Howard B
Fields of Arlington County for having
shot and wounded seriously LEFTY Hol-
singer. 40 years OLE, in a fight waged
between the three yesterday afternoon
on the Chain Bridge road near the home
of Secretary of Labor William Doak, in
Arlington County.
Commonwealth Attorney William C
Cloth of Arlington County, who termed
the shooting "a very uncalled for thing,
signed a warrant charging mayhem
against the two policemen and ordered
them held without bond. However, Finks
and Mcintosh appealed to Circuit Court
released on bail of $4,000 each They
waived preliminary hearing and theil
case was set for hearing during the
June term of Circuit Court.
Brought to Arlington.
The officers were brought to Airing
: ton County from their homes in tbs
nelghboring county by Commonwealth
Attorney Wilson M. Farr of Fairfax
County. However, this was done after
Commonwealth Attorney Farr and
County Engineer F. N. Larkin had sur
veyed the spot on Chain Bridge Hill
where the shooting occurred and had
determined that it was some distance
from the Fairfax County line in Airing
ton County.
Meanwhile, Holsinger is in George
town University Hospital with three
bullet wounds, one of them having shat
tered his right leg above the ankle. The
second shot lodged above the right
knee and the third plowed its way
through the right thigh.
HolSlnger was unarmed at the time
OF the shooting and was on his knees
according to his statement, when Finks
fired the second and third shots, the
first shot having knocked him off his
feet. The officers claim that Holsinger
was attacking them with a blackjack
he had jerked from Finks hands and
that Finks shot while Holsinger was
beating him on the head after having
knocked Mcintosh into a semi-conscious
condition.
Charges Finks Slapped Her.
At the wounded mans bedside this
morning stood his wife, Mrs. bessie
Holsinger, with bruised marks on her
face. She charged that Finks slapped
her to the ground after having fired
the third shot into her husbands body.
The Holsingers said they recently moved
from Washington, where they resided
at 1928 Thirty-third street, to farm
near Waldorf, Md.
While Finks and Mcintosh claimed
they seized two bottles of liquor in the
Holsinger car, no charges had been pre-
ferred against Holsinger by them. They
said they turned the seized rum over
to the Fairfax County sheriff's Office.
Holsinger, who is about 6 feet 2 inches
tall and weighs approximately 220
pounds, and his wife, they said, were on
their way from Waldorf to a certain
place in Virginia to visit when they
stopped on Chain Bridge hill for lunch,
which they had bought whiAe passing
through Washington. Mrs. Holsinger
said she saw the two officers some dis
lance away hiding behind tress, but
inasmuch as she and her husband were

ing honors to Mrs. Herbert Hoover,
when she arrived about 10 minutes

why his own First Lady should not
receive almost as many.
Mrs. Hoover was given four ruffles
on the drum, four hourishes on the
trumpet and "The Star Spangled

only honor rendered to Slams Queen
