Virginio' Mass Killer Had Leaned on Father
To Make Good His Debts in Recent Years

A stocky. ell-muscled man,
Thomas william Clatterbuck, now
held in the five murders on the A.
Morris Love farm in Purcellville.
Va. was born on a farm near Nears-
vile, Loudoun County, April %,
1910. Friends said that as a youth
Clatterbuck was known for esca-
pades and had to be helped several
times by his father, J. H. Clatter-
buck, who runs 250-acre farm near
Harpers Ferry, w. Va. i
Several persons In the county
had kind words for Clatterbuck. The
Rev. o. E. Smith, pastor Of Naza-
rene church of which Clatterbuck
was a member, said that as far as
he knew Clatterbuck never smoked,
gambled or drank.
He attended church regularly
until his wife was taken sick re-
GENTLY" Mr.. Smith said.
After his marriage, his friends
said, they expected him to settle
down. He got job in a stone
quarry, made good pay and began
to raise q family. His wife gave
birth to four children, now ranging
in age from 8 years to a child in
arms and is again expectant.
Ofdcials Of the bank in Leesburg
and other persons said. however.
that in recent years Clatterbuck be-
gan to run heavily into debt and
obtained several loans from the
bank. which he always was going to
pay back tomorrow.
Several times, it was said, the
elder Clatterbuck had made his sons
checks good and had paid off his
sons creditors. His debt to Mr..
Love was the last straw"
For a while neighbors Of the Love
family, Clatterbuck and his family
moved from Purcellville to the six
room house near Hillsboro, where
Mrs. Clatterbuck Is now alone with
the four children.
When reporters visited the Clat-
terbuck home, Mrs. Clatterbuck ap-
peared at the door, red-eyed and
near hysteria as the children hov-
cred about

must sit down.
After it became known that Clat-
terbuck was being questioned the

entity has decided that there are ex-
ceptions to the beastliness of the
beasts of Berlin.
The most profound concession in
this direction to date has been the
Nazis IN THE Moon Is Down." Some
OF them were animal and some were
barbaric, but the commanding on
Ger Of the group was portrayed as q
human being and so was one OF his
junior associates. The sanity Of
their portraits drew a considerable
measure Of praise and Hollywood,
hearing it, was slightly impressed.
Latest evidence to that effect Is
to be found in Five Graves to
Cairo" Paramounts version of the
long, eventually climactic battle
which saw the Germans driven from
North Africa.
The principal character on the
German side in this story is Marshal
Erwin Rommel. He is played by no
less Teutonic looking actor than
Erich Won Stroheim, but the most
interesting thing about the portrait
is not the Won Stroheim facade but
the conception of Rommel on the
part of the writer's. He is offered
as a fellow Of conceit bordering
on egomania. He is naughty,
ShoW-off, and when sufficiently
crossed, he manifeSts the traditional
sadism of the movie Nazi. At the
same time, however. he is presented
as an amiable host to captured Brit
iSh officers, something of a humor-
ist, and intelligent enough to admit
the probable awful truth OF some of
the charges brought against Herr
Hitler and his system.
1t lends credibility of higher

sons finale-still shudders like one
of his fans when he thinks of how
he was almost typed right out Of
the drama.
1t happened, Lugosi recalls, six
years ago, when England decided
that life was horrible enough with
out horror motion pictures. It put
Q ban on them and Hollywood,
which loved its English market as
O profitable market deserves, de-
cided that it would make no more
Of such pictures.
For an actor of Lugosi's versatil-
ity the decision of the English and
Hollywood should not have made
any difference. Looking back over
the scope of his career as player,
he did not think 1t would. He kept
on thinking so until he learned that
producer after producer thought
otherwise. He had been a horror
man so long, they told him, that
audience would not accept him as
anything else.
Never a man to handy his words
nor his money about, Mr.. Lugosi
was not actually confronted by the
specter of poverty. A year or two
passed, however, and there was no
work. International politics was
providing sufficient horror for the
average man. 1t piled one on top
OF the other, week in and week out,
until the old movie horrors began
to look like the purest kind OF es-
cape entertainment. A few theater
magnateS, deciding this was the
case. decided to revive some Of the
old Lugosi pictures. Their calcula-
tions proved almost astoundingly
correct. Cinema horror was just a
kind of escape the people seemed
to want.

When he is not being a monster
professionally he is privately be-

man. as are most of the most menac-
ing fellows in the cinema. His fa-
vorite pastimes, he thinks, are the
best clues to his real character.
They are walking, reading and lis
tening to music. He regards them
as the ideal marks of the amiable,
easy-going man.
