DraWing of Rife
on Scratch Pad

In a corner Of the bedroom
McCamant very carefully exam
ined the crimson-stained ak that
seemed to have too many smears
10 give up any clear prints.
From the foot OF the bed he
took a small scratch pad and
studied its markings for a mo-
ment. The boy. lying on his
sickbed, had whiled away the
hours scrawling childish
sketches with a blunt pencil.
The sheriff started when he saw
at the bottom Of the sheet the
crude drawing Of a rifle.
What process Of mental sug-
gestion had caused the ailing
lad TO sketch the weapon? Was
the killer in the house as the
youngster lay in bed and
scratched at the pad?
The idea was not too far
fetched TO be reasonable. The
thought that little Tommy SHAFT
fer had seen a gun sent a dozen
valuable ideas tumbling through
the sheriff's mind. Probably the
most important idea was that
Tommy knew the killer and
therefore felt perfectly at ease
when he was in the house.

"Shaffer was struck squarely
In the chest and side" the doctor
said. His wife evidently was

"He fell--she was bending

her." McCamant finished for the
doctor. The sheriff was begin

Of events that led 10 the Shaffer

Dramatic Dreams
Are All Shattered

But the sheriff's words as he
approached the house, in which
Law the third victim, chased
from their minds all the dra-
matte dreams of a day gone by
He left In a car" the sheriff
told these men who were neigh
bors of the Skaters.
There was disappointment In
the voice Of the Lincoln County
Sheriff. He, too, was a rider OF
the old school, and he would
have welcomed that swift, sortie
among the barren rocks OF some
distant defile; the crack and
whine of ricocheting lead.
In the yard the sheriff had
read details OF the mad scene
that had left a man fat on his
back, dead, and his young wife
asprawl his legs. A tumbled
milk pail between the bodies
and the barn told clearly that
Shaffer and his spouse had I'm
ished their evening chores and
were returning to the house
when the slayers bullets struck
them.
Inside the house. where the
coroner was at work. the sheriff
viewed the body of a young boy
who had met a fate more hor-
rible than that of his parents.
They had been felled by we'll
aimed rifle shots-but the killer
had used an ak on the unfortu-
nate lad.

Half an hour later, McCamant

The dog made no protest as
they patted it and examined its

sheriff.
"Martin,r replied Stone. "Hol-
lis Granville Martin. He's shsf'
fer's nephew-about 17-comes

A few minutes later Sheriff
McCamant and his deputy left
the Shaffer ranch to drive to
Hondo for the sole purpose or
inquiring If the family had visi-
tors during the last week.
At the Hondo bus station they
hid their elation with difficulty
when q smooth-voiced clerk In
formed them:
"Sure, the Skaters had . visi-
tor come on tho bus. A young
fellow from Oklahoma who got
In three or four days ago."
Judging that the youth was
returning to Oklahoma, the
alarm was sounded to that
state. And on Monday. Novem.

occupants into custody. TWO

The IT. year old nephew
stoutly asserted that he had left
the Skaters alive and well; and
that his uncle had given him
the car to ride back home for q
few days.
But after he was returned 70

expert grilling by Sheriff Mo
Camant and Deputy Vigil, the
youth broke down and con-
fessed.

heat OF the ranch yard. His
deputy. Estevan Vigil. moved
with the stiff-legged grace OF a

macabre scene.

at the rach house door.
It was Sunday morning. Nov.

his deputy made their observa-

moved to their task slowly and
with painstaking care, for In
their findings before the idly

the man who had murdered
Willard Shaffer, his wife and
their e-year-old ailing son,

The two men were startled by

note that. after 10 years or so
of success 10 both, TarZan and
Metro are parting company.
Hereafter, another outfit Will
make the Tarzan films, still re-
tanning Johnny Weissmuller as
the star.
Metro doesn't make many mis-

the feeling that TarZan, will go
on, and on, and on, as long as
there is a show business. 1t
must be % years since, as a kid,
l first enjoyed Tarzan on the
screen-and I'm not ashamed
10 say that l get almost as big
a kick out of the character to-
