SPEED KILLING.
DESCRIBED BY.
EYE.WITNESSES
Scheid's Fate May
Go to Jury Today
By CARROLL PEEKE

Before resting it's case today
ag ainst Edwin Scheid, Falls
Church, Va, policeman charged
with the murder of Theodore B.
Daugherty, Washington musician,
dramatic testimony damaging to
the defense was given by two wit
IeSSeS.
Mrs. Cecil Rawlings, an employe
of Woodward & Lothrop, who
lives in Mclean, Va, described
the incidents leading up to the
shooting.
SAW TWO CARS
She told the court she and her
brother-in-law, his wife, and their
two children were driving home
from Washington, and on Lee
Highway a car, with lights, going
In the opposite direction. passed
her car.
At the same time, she said. an
other car, without lights, passed
her at such speed as to almost
force her off the road" and that
as she pulled over to avoid being
struck, she heard the screech Of
jan1n1ing brakes, followed almost
Immediately by four, five or six
shots.
She testified that she turned
her car around and drove back
TO the spot where Daugherty's car,
which she described as the one
with lights, was off the road in a
field, with Daugherty slumped
over the wheel.
CUT IN AHEAD
Marvin A. Poole, Mrs. Rawlings
brother-in-law, said he had been
riding in the back seat of the car,
with his wife and one of the chill
dren, when he saw the car driven
by Daugherty pass, followed by
the car without lights, which
forced them to swerve nearly off
the road.
He said he looked out the back
window, and saw the car without
lights cut in ahead of the car
with lights, and force it to stop.
Poole said he saw Daugherty
back his car up, not rapidly, and
try to go around the car without

Now. somehow he must make a head
protector from the cactus and get
back to town
Meanwhile. Pedro. riding home, was
beset by fear The hat. He should,
OF course, dispose Of It. But If he
discarded 1t there was the slight DOS
sibility that Old Man Matthews would
find it, Or some one else. II he kept
it, some one would notice and begin
to wonder. What to do with the hat?
All. there was way. He would stop
by the shack that Old Man Matthews
occupied on the edge of the town. He
would arrive at night. He would leave
the hat In the shack and the burro
outside. Some one would see the
burro, would 60 In search of the old
man, find his body on the desert and
come to the logical conclusion that
the burro had wandered on home and
Old Man Matthews had perished on
the desert. OF old age, perhaps.
Pedro chuckell to himself. He was
a smart man, Pedro.
TOWARD midmorning Of the next
day. Lefty Barrows, riding in
from the Lazy Y. saw what he believed
to be an apparition. He reined in,
then sent his horse galloping across
| the desert.
Old Man Matthews was delirious
He kept mumbling something about
his hat, and about Pedro. Lefty looked
with astonishment at the slab OF
cactus that Old Man Matthews had
been holding above his head. He was
curious. but he would save his ques-
tions until later.
Lefty reached Matthews shack a
half hour later. He carried the old
man inside and fed him water slowly
It was an hour before the old man
came to life. He looked around the
shack.
Lefty said. How does Pedro figure
in this?"
Matthews raised himself on an
elbow and reached for the hat that
he saw lying on table. Lefty brought
him the hat. Old Man Matthews, his
fingers trembling. ran his hand along
the inside OF the sweatband. A weak
cry of exultation escaped his lips. He
brought out a folded scrap Of paper
Lefty looked at it. 1t was a map
An hour later Lefty set out for the
Sheriff's office. He was thinking what
pity it was that the best the sheriff
would do was to clap Pedro in Jail.
But then. he reflected. Pedro was not
very smart and such a punishment
probably would team him the lesson
he needed.

TWO friends were travelling and,
while In city unfamiliar to
them they decided they both needed
to have their hair cut. Consequently
they went into the barber shop Of the
hotel in which they were staying.
There were only two chairs and two
BARRIERS. but, fortunately, both were
idle at the moment. 1t happened that
both Of the friends were very particu-
lar about their appearance and, not
knowing the BARRIERS. they hesitated
as to which barber to pick. One bar
ber's hair was in excellent trim and
the others was noticeably poorer.
One Of the two friends was very polite,
the other very selfish. The selfish
one made 4 dive for the chair Of the
barber with the good trim. rather
naturally. and the other friend smiled
and said. We'll, Jim. your selfshness
gave you first choice but I'll bet
get q better haircut" Why do you
suppose he thought he'd get a better
haircut?

First. the old mans step was brisk
and his head high Second. Matthews
shouldn't be coming out OF the hills
at this time Of year He was a month
earlier than usual Why?
To Pedro there was only one answer
to that question. He clucked to his
horse. His thin lips nattened against
his teeth.
Old Man Matthews saw Pedro COM
ing. If he suspected the others pur-
pose his weathered and wrinkled old
face gave no indication.
You have made the strike, eh, Old
Man Matthew'S Pedro said, resting
one hand on top OF the other over
the pommei Of his saddle. His smile
was friendly, too friendly.
Old Man Matthews cackled and
shook his head. He told Pedro that
for 20 years he had been going into
the hills in search OF gold. and this
time he had been as unsuccessful as
before.
Pedro ignored the explanation. "You
have made the strike. else why do you
come out month ahead OF time eh?
Perhaps you have a map OF this
strike, eh?"
Old Man Matthews knew then that
he was in for it. He removed his bat
tered old hat, scratched his head and
tried to look Indifferent. But Pedro
got of his horse, and one hand was
resting on the butt of his six
shooter.
OLD MAN MATTHEWS had lived
long and hard and he believed
/ himself capable of withstanding al
most anything in the way of physical
pain. But he did not know the tricks
OF this man Pedro. Twice, when II
seemed that all the gold in the world
was not worth such torture. he almost
gave in. But he didn't. And, finally
Pedro. sweating and angry beyond
description, stopped to rest.
80! You will not tell. eh? Yo,,
will die first Very well, you shall
die-the lingering death.
Pedro scooped up the tattered old
sombrero that Old Man Matthews had
been wearing. He folded 1t. his thin
lips contemptuous, and tucked it be-
meath saddle strap Then he
mounted and spat down at the old
man.
Old Man Matthews watched his
tormentor ride away, driving the
burro ahead Of him. He knew, as
Pedro knew, that no death could be
worse than a day spent on the desert
beneath that blazing, torrid sun with
out head protection.

when it nnds itself washed up on the
beach. and makes every possible effort
to get back where it feels more ut
home.
There have been several large shells
picked up from the sand when the
tide was low at San Diego, and from
this point to San Pedro. Many fine
specimens have been found in Japan.
On several occasions, the very beau-
tiful three-cornered trophon, that is
from 4 to 5 inches long and very light
In weight. Is found washed up on the
tide along with Belcher's. 1t Ia built
along the same lines as the one we
have here, but Ia far more colorful.
Rarely Is q perfect shell found Of
either kind. Deep dredging brings up
the live and perfect ones.
The family in which the trophons
have been placed is large and has
many representatives. Most of the
members are pirates and do not hesi-
tate to attack larger neighbors. They
hide IN rocky or gravelly places, and
as they are almost colorless, they
escape notice. The shells, however,
make up for their lack Of lovely COL
oring In being extremely odd in form
and sculpturing. This is why the per-
feet shells are 80 valuable.

Lira as saying.
Lawrence came to her assistance
and I fought both of them.
Lawrence and I later shook hands
and he said he was sleepy and lay
down on the bed"
Lira called doctor and Mr.. Law
renee was removed to a hospital,
where he died. County Attorney
Ewing said Lira told him he did not
remember using blood-stained shot
gun barrel found on the floor.
Mr.. Lawrence's body showed evil
dence of severe beating. The head,
mouth and arms were cut and bruised.
Coroner Gordon Clark said concus-
sion of the brain probably caused
death. but ordered an autopsy today.
Mr.. Clark said an inquest would be
held tomorrow, when he expected
Mrs. Webb would be able to testify.
Mr.. Lawrence purchased the v Bar
v ranch, near here, five years ago
from Mrs. James Minotto, a member
of the Swift family of Chicago. The
ranchhouse is one of the most elabo-
rate in the State.
Lira has been a resident of Arizona
many years. He started Lewis on the
way to the light heavyweight cham
pionship, but lost his managerial con-
tract in court action. He was a tai
ented musician and won an award at
the Paris International Exposition
in 1924.
