know whether Lee got a share
or was intended by the others
to have n share.
Brehan is held for trial on an
other charge of burglary of a state
liquor store here; of the others,
Eugene Ryan. former welfare en-
ploye, is charged and awaiting
trial for the S5,065 theft, while
George LaDuke, brought back
from California, has already
pleaded guilty and is serving time
at Walla Walla penitentiary.
Their story to police was that
the job was leased" by LaDuke
and Brehan, with cooperation of
Ryan as the inside" man. A
hole was cut through the plaster
board wall of the office the night
before the robbery: then one of
the men showed next day at noon
with large shopping bag, opened
the unlocked safe, stuffed the
money, which was all assembled
for delivery to an armored car,
into the shopping bag and walked
out. meeting the confederates for
division of the spoils. The hole
through the plasterboard was de-
scribed as 16x16 inches. The in
side panel was only partly sawed
through so that it could easily be
pushed out.
The civil action shows that
on Jan. 20, 1910, the Pierce
county commissioners set up
by resolution revolving fund
for welfare purposes and that
Lee was employed by Auditor
lnow county commissioner
Davis rs cashier In handling
of this fund.
1t further shows that the de-
PENDANT company bonded Lee for
$4,000 to secure faithful per-
Torrance of his duties and to Sc
cure the county auditor against
direct loss through any embezzle-
ment by Lee.
It is then asserted that on Dec.
2, 1941, Lee as cashier came into
possession" of S5.065.s0 in cur
rency, checks and money orders
belonging to the revolving fund.
The complaint charges Lee
NV | h h ED, misappropriated
and failed TO account for and
turn over" TO the plaintiffs the
sum involved In the robbery.
However, Sl.14?.10 In checks
and money orders later was
recovered through stoppaGe Of
payment on those stolen, so
that the demand In court Is
now being made against Lee
and the bonding company for
SS.923.70 plus costs.
The civil action avoids direct
reference to the circumstances of
the actual disappearance of the
money.

NATIVE OF PUYALLUP
Montgomery was born and
raised In Puyallup. As a matter
of fact he lived In the house where
he was born up to six years ago.
He then moved ouk to find a house
for himself and his bride. The

still IL occupied by his mother.
He went to school in Puyallup
and graduated from high school

afterwards he went to work on
paper in Tacoma and remained

work for him on the Puyallup

Reaching New York they found
work aboard tanker and headed
for Europe. At one stage of their
tour, they landed in England with
out the proper papers. As a re-
suit Montgomery and his friend
were branded as undesirable

HAS NAVY COMMISSION
The representative has been
actively engaged in operating his
paper since his father died in
1896. Last July he was accepted
In the Navy as lieutenant, junior
grade. The representative said
that this reporters probing ques-
tons were easy after he answered
all those asked of him before
joining the navy. He said he had
to fill countless pages of question
aires In addition to being SUBJ
jected to minute investigation by
federal agencies.
Montgomery at present is on in
active duty and therefore is not
wearing his uniform. This re-
moves any possibility of his being
challenged to his seat in the house.
He explains that 1t was his solemn
duty to take his place in the legis-
lature after being elected.
WILL LOSE PROMOTION
After ALL" he said. the people
had faith in me and elected me
and 1t was up to me to keep that
faith"
Montgomery as result. will lose
a promotion. He was scheduled
to be elevated to the rank of lieu
tenant in January. His being put
on inactive duty forestalls the
promotion for some time to come.
Montgomery's political activities
have been limited to running for
the legislature. He has been the
25th districts choice in 80, Al
and '43. But his work in that
short period of time has occupied
the attention of many. He was
placed on the appropriations COM
mittee in SO and his work was SO
well appreciated that he was made
chairman OF the committee in Al.
He is the youngest member ever
to head the group. He also sets
a record by being the second man
ever to become chairman of the
committee after serving only once
before. Chairmen are usually
selected after having served for
three or four terms.
WILL LOOK AROUND
Rather than give his legislative
program. Montgomery prefers to
look around for day or so.
Right now he is occupied with
reading his mail and comforting
with fellow members.
Judging from his actions for the
past few days, Montgomery is on
the way to be setting more records.

Virginia Killer Sobs
And Reads His Bible
In Winchester Cell
Tells Fellow Prisoners
How He Killed Five
On PurceIIviIIe arm

Thomas William Clatterbuck. 33-
year-old confessed slayer who faces
grand jury action June IA. is Willing
away his time in Winchester Jail
by reading the Bible and answering
questions of his fellow prisoners on
details of the murder of five people
on the farm of A. Morris Love near
Purcellville, Va.
Winchester Jailer Robert De Haven
reported today that the prisoner,
father of four children, is gradually
breaking under the strain. He cries
frequently, eats little and moves
restlessly about his cell through the
night, the jailer said
Mr.. De Haven said Clatterbuck
had been visited by some of his rela-
tives yesterday afternoon and had
asked to see his wife. unaware that
she has been i'll since word OF his
confession reached her. She is ex-
pecting her fifth child in two
months.
Breaks at Sight Of Kin.
When Clatterbuck saw his brothers.
the jailer reported, he broke down
and was unable to talk for a few
minutes. He had told police officials
soon after his confession that he
couldn't face" his relatives.
The jailer described him as a
model prisoner" who answers the
questions of the other prisoners in
the cell block apparently without
hesitation
Meanwhile, it was announced in
Leesburg that grand jury Of
farmers will consider the States re-
quest for f1rst-degree murder in
dictment. The grand jury was Sc
lected by Court Clerk E. o. Russell
yesterday from list made up by
the judge once a year.
The grand Jurors. described as
prominent men in Loudoun County
are all from the districts surround :
ing Leesburg. They are farmers OF
much the same status in the COM
munity as Mr.. Love, first victim of
the slayers hand The other VIC
Tins were Mrs. Ruth Love, the farm
ers wife; James Love. his son: and
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Russell, the
tenant farmer and his wife on the
Love farm.
Quick Arraignment Planned.
II a true bill is brought against
Clatterbuck week from Monday
as the State confidently expects, the
confessed slayer will be arraigned
the same day by the clerk. In Vir-
ginia, ClAtterbuck can plead guilty
to the capital charge. He can later
change the. plea, however, if he
wants a jury trial.
According to his jailer. Clatter-
buck has not yet employed a defense
counsel and one may be assigned to
him by Circuit Court Judge ]. R. H
Alexander.
There was some speculation that
the trial will not be held in Loudoun
County because of the difnculty in
finding IL unprejudiced jurymen
If the trial is held in Loudoun
County 1t will probably be during
the June term Of court, which runs
for 80 days.
Unless arraignment is delayed for
Clatterbuck to consult with counsel
the Judge will set the trial date

100 Cars Near

Cited by 0PA
Pleasure Drivino
TotuI Sours Well
Over 1000 Cars

Pleasure driving cases continued
to pile up at the District OPA head
quarters today with the addition OF
lib alleged violators reported by in
vestigators last night and no ex-
pectation that the cases would 60 to
local boards before sometime late
next week.
With those reported last night,
the total number of license num-
bers turned into the OPA by its own
investigators and by Metropolitan
and Capital Parks police was we'll
over 1000. OPA Investigators alone
have cited 9l0 motorists for alleged
offenses.
100 Cars at Ball Game.
OPA inspectors found 100 of the
cars reported last night in the vicin-
ity of Griffith Stadium. The other
license numbers taken were seen at
the Village Theater. Thirteenth and
Rhode Island avenue NE, the Sher-
ldan Theater, in the 5000 block on
Georgia avenue and the Kennedy
Theater, at Fourth and Kennedy
streets NV.
The OPA announced that so far
637 OF the cases have been given
preliminary attention at the local
Office and that of this number, 1O8
had been eliminated because the car
owners had presented valid excuses
for having parked their cars where
they were spotted by the investiga-
tors.
A letter Of instruction to the
boards was not expected to go out
before Monday After this letter has
been received, it will still be neces-
Sary for the boards to receive the
cases assigned to them. make their
arrangements for handling the hun
dreds of cases and set dates for
hearings. 1t was estimated that. be-
cause of the late start in assigning
the cases to the boards, it would be
weeks before the backlog would be
wiped out and boards could begin
handling the cases on a current
basis.
Special Panel Urged.
To relieve the pressure placed on
the local boards as the result of the
new pleasure driving ban, it has
been suggested that a special panel
be created, to be composed OF at
least several lawyer members, to
consider all pleasure driving cases.
The local OPA has not yet taken any
steps in this direction. but it was
pointed out that besides helping
the local boards. the system would
provide more equit able justice for
all motorists called upon to explain
the presence OF their cars at pleas
ure resorts.
During the previous pleasure
driving ban. lack OF uniformity in
handling the cases among the IS
boards created a large measure OF
dissa tisfaction. Penalties for the
same offenses varied with the
boards. and some panels granted
dismissals In circumstances which
other boards considered violations OF
the ban.
Because of the seriousness OF the
gasoline shortage, is was expected
most boards would be even more in
clined to leniency than they wers
earlier this year.
