Second Weapon
Reported Found
In Staying Of 5
Located in Creek
Near Love Farm,
leesburg Hears

Reports circulated in Leesburg
Va, today that a second weapon
clearly establishing that the murder
Of the Love family and their tenant
farmers was premeditated. has been
found in Catoctin Greek near the
Love farm.
Commonwealth Attorney Charles
F. Harrison told The Star last night
search was being made for gun
but that as far as he knew it had
not been found.
The search was made for the gun
It was indicated, after Sergt. Charles
w. Blue of the Virginia State Police
and Mr.. Harrison both questioned
the confessed slayer, Thomas Will
liam Clatterbuck, at the Winchester
Jail Saturday.
Reports tnat tbs gun had been
found and brought to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation for ballistics
tests were denied today Sergt. Blue,
however, was reported on his way to
Washington from his home in Cul-
peper, Va, and it was possible that
he had found the gun and was
bringing it here today.
Would Establish Clear Case"
Mr.. Harrison admitted that 'if We
could find another weapon, We would
have a clear case of generalization, "
but added that in his opinion pre-
meditation was established in any
case by the fact that Clatterbuck
sought out Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Russell, the tenant farmers, to kill
shem after he had taken the lives of
A. Morris Love; his wife, Ruth, and
his son. James.
Mr.. Harrison did not disclose why
6ergt. Blue had started a search for
= second gun, although it was as
sumed that the search had been
started because the FBI reported
shat bullets extracted from the vic
TINS did not come from James rife
as Clatterbuck had contended.
A magnetic dip needle, borrowed
from Leesburg Town Treasurer Rosco
Rhodes, was useo III the search of
the creek. Mr. Harrison said
Spot on Clatterbucks Route.
According to Leesburg reports, q
.22-caliber automatic was located in
Catoctin Creek Saturday night. The
creek is about a mile and a half
from the Love farm, it was said. and
eriss- crosses the roads Clatterbuck
confessed he had travelled Clatter-
bucks confession indicated he was
near enough to the creek on at least
three occasions to toss a gun from
his car
In his confession. Clatterbuck said
he had wrested James rifle from the
boys hands after bludgeoning Mr.
Love to death with croquet mallet
James rifle, he SAID, was used in the
slaying of the youth, his mother and
the Russels
Mr.. Harrison said he was ready
70 try the case now with or without
the second weapon being located, but
added that he thought Clatterbuck S
counsel would ask for delay to
acquaint himself with the facts of
ahe case. The prosecutor estimated
that the case would come up for trial
tn about three weeks or a month,

ESQ Wounded Arrive
At New Virginia Hospital
By the Associated Press.

oS tnS ASsOCldlSC TTeS8.
STAUNTON, Va. June 7.-Ap-
proximately $50 men wounded in the
African campaign were patients to-
day in the War Departments new
Woodrow Wilson General Hospital
after arriving in hospital troop
train.
The wounded were taken by am
balances yesterday to the hospital
from the station at nearby Fishers
vile. About third of the wounded
were stretcher cases who had oc-
cupied three hospital ward cars or
the l2-car train. The less seriously
injured travelled in coaches, while
officers occupied one car.
There was an apparent absence
of head wounds among the men, in
dicative perhaps of the effectiveness
of the Arny's new bucket helmet.
The group included a few colored
troops.

ut Is that side that lifts life out

Gasoline Supply
Larger, but Ban
Is sMaintdined
Officials Seek
To Build Reserve
For This Section

You could buy gasoline today at
numerous service stations around
the city-if you had the necessary
ration coupons But decreasing lines
of automobiles at the pumps indi-
Gated an increasing shortage of
coupons as we'll as a desire to con-
serve whatever fuel motorists had
in their tanks.
The supply of gasoline would not
permit any lessening of the strict
ban imposed on unessential driving,
however, and officials warned it was
only sufficient for necessary usage
Efforts now are being directed
toward building up reserves against
future crises in the District and At
lantic Seaboard area
Opening OF additional pumping
facilities on the Plantation Pipeline
from Greensboro. N. c., to Rich
mond. Va, last Saturday increased
the flow of gasoline from 2l.OOO
barrels to 10000 barrels daily and is
expected to assure a steady rise Of
imports in this area. From Rich
mond the fuel is transshipped by
tank car and barge to Washington
and Baltimore. Washington's great
difficulty in keeping adequate sup
plies on hand arises from lack of
storage facilities which keep the
city on hand-to-mouth basis even
under normal conditions.
Whether the Medical Society
would take action to assure gasoline
enough to keep physicians cars
running in future emergencies could
not be ascertained today. Theodore
Wiprud, secretary of the society, was
in Chicago and not expected back
until Friday. It was revealed Satur-
day, however, that nine service sta
tions in designated areas, wherein
special pumps had been marked off
to serve only doctors and emergency
vehicles, had not received additional
gasoline to put the plan into effect.
Only the general easing of the situa-
tlon saved physicians from the same
predicament as the average COM
mercial user.
There was some evidence of
pleasure driving in the District.
Virginia State police and investi-
gators from the Richmond district
OPA Office yesterday picked up
almost 200 suspected violators of
the ban. Teams of police and in
vestigators were stationed at the
Mattaponi River Bridge at West
Point. on Mechanicsville pike at a
tavern, at the junction of route 2
and the George Washington Me-
mortal highway miles east of Fred
