in so Minutes, EscheWs
Police Work.
BY w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr..
STAT Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
July 2.-Freed by a jury on a murder
charge and encouraged by the embrace
Of his fiance. 23-year-old Edwin
Scheid, suspended Falls Church police
man. today was seeking a new job
which has no connection with police
duty.
A jury of IL men debated only so
minutes last night before absolving
Scheid in the Staying of Theodore
B. Daugherty, 81, Washington musi-
clan, who was hit in the head by
= bullet while driving his car on Lee
highway near here early on the morn
ing Of March 20.
The slender. fair-haired defendant
had no sooner heard the mot guilty.
verdict delivered by Jury Foreman
George F. Cook than he was sur
rounded by persons who wished to con-
gratulate him. Among the first to
reach his side were his mother and
father. who had sat just behind him
since the trial began Monday morning.
A moment later Scheid was en-
braced by pretty girl whom he iden-
titled as Miss Carolyn Adair, 18, of
Ballston, Va.
Scheid previously had told the jury
he was engaged to be married. Miss
Adair kissed Scheid several times.
Other who Joined in the congratu-
lations were Herbert Knox. IS, a sus-
pended Falls Church policeman who
rode with Scheid when Mr.. Daugherty
was shot to death
Commonwealth Attorney Lawrence
w. Douglas indicated that an indict-
ment against Knox for aiding and
abetting Scheid in the Staying would
be dropped. Knox and Scheid, who
were released prior to the trial, under
$2,500 bonds each, put up by the May
or OF Falls Church. had told the jury
they shot in an effort to halt Mr..
Daugherty's car after they stopped the
mOtorist to arrest him on a speeding
charge and he attempted to run them
down.
Scheid was defended by Attorneys
Frank L. Ball and John c. Mccarthy.
In the Office Of defense counsel Scheid
was asked. following his acquittal, if
he planned to 60 back into police work.
NO" he replied, Il am finished"
Scheid said he could not be sure
when he would be married, or what
sort of job he would look for, now
that he no longer was policeman.
Knox had no comment to make on his
plans.
Long Debate on Instructions.
The prosecution and defense attor-
neys argued from 1880 to $50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon on the instruc-
tions which Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy should give to the jury. Most
of the contention involved the degree
Of force which a policeman would be
justified in putting forth to arrest q
suspect on charge of misdemeanor
as compared with a felony.
Scheid and Knox testified they
chased the motorist from Falls
Church, in Fairfax County, at least

LONDON. July 2.-Insurgent Gen
eralissimo Franco was said in unofi-
cial quarters today to have replied to
Britain's repeated protests at bombing
Of her ships with a proposal to desig-
nate a neutral port in Spain where
bona fide" shipping would not be
molested.
The inSurgent leader was under
stood to have put sting into the tail
Of his reply by demanding that oil,
coal and motor trucks be added to the
Nom Intervention Committees list of
contraband goods Present contraband
Is confined to actual war materials.
Reply Is Considered.
Foreign Minister Viscount Halifax
and Sir Robert H. Hodgson, Britain's
representative in Burgos, insurgent
capital. wrestled with the reply which
Sir Robert Brought to London Thurs
day. They were unable to begin a de-
tailed examination Of its contents until
today, however. because they had to
wait for a translation of the Spanish
text.
Their problem was to decide what
Britain could do about the devastating
aerial raids on the worlds biggest mer-
chant feet-which Prime Minister
Chamberlain has consistently refused
to protect with the nations mighty
navy.
frances reply was understood to
have stressed his determination to
continue bombing military objectives"
and to have denied British ships were
singled out for attack.
No Attacks Since Monday.
1t was noted, however, that no Brit
ish ships have been attacked or sunk
since Monday, two days before it was
disclosed in Rome that Premier Mus
solini had advised the insurgent gen.
eral to moderate his attacks.
Viscount Halifax and Sir Robert
also discussed Gen. Frances attitude
toward the proposed international
commission to investigate bombings of
civilian populations and their proxim-
ity to military objectives.
