RICHMOND, Va, June 16.-
Thomas William Clatterbuck,
33-year-old Loudoun County
quarry worker, was executed at
the State Penitentiary this
morning as the convicted killer
of Walter Russell, tenant farm
er also of Loudoun County, one
Of the five slain on the A. Morris
Love farm, near Leesburg, June
/, 1943. @
The other victims were Mr.. Love,
his wife, their. son James and Mrs.
Russell. The killings followed a
dispute over notes of Clatterbuck's
held by Mr.. Love. Clatterbuck ad
mitted at the trial he had forged
Endorsements on one of the notes,
for $4,000, and that when Mr.. Love
said he intended to prosecute, he
killed the creditor with a mallet.
The other four killings were de-
scribed as an effort to cover the
crime.
The execution was carried out
after efforts had been made on the
part of Clatterbuck's counsel until
late yesterday to save his life on a
plea of insanity
He was originally scheduled to die
December 10, but the trial judge,
Judge j. r. H Alexander of the
Loudoun County Circuit Court, post
poned it to February 4 to permit an
appeal to the State Supreme Court

Apartment Dwelling

During Remode|ing
Workmen Escape Unhurt
Nearby Excovoting BIomee
For Fall of Wall

A three-story apartment house at
1911 U street NV. caved in today
during remodeling work, scattering
bricks over the street and nearby
alley, but workmen on the job es-
capped injury.
j. J. Kimball, building inspector,
who hurried to the scene, said it ap4
peared the wall had given, way be-
cause Of too much excavation around
1t. The wall, he said, appeared to be
overloaded.
He said the owner, Robert Cum
ningham, told him after the acci-
dent that workmen late yesterday
noticed water leak which softened
the ground around the base of the
wall.
Mr.. Kimball said the leak might
have softened the ground, but that
this alone would not have accounted
for the cave-in. o ss,. N sz
A. T. Saunders, colored, Al, of 140t
Corcoran street NV, told police hi
was in the building with six or eight
other workmen when he noticed the
wall beginning to crack. He went
outside the building to take q look
and rushed in again to warn the
others.
Two minutes after the workrnen
escaped from the building, he told
police, the wall collapsed.
The two upper floors of the gaping
building SWayed downward toward
the street and a cupola on the roof
tumbled to the ground.
Asked why the building inspector
covering that area had permitted
the excavation on a scale large
enough to cause the cave-in, Mr..
Kimbaf1 said he did not know when
the inspector had visited the remod-
cling project last. The building
which is more than 40 years old, ac-
cording to police, has at various
times been a warehouse and a

Jury Acquits Chinese
Of Staying Foreman
In Noodle Factory
Defendant Still Faces
Charges Of Assault
And Illegal Entry

A jury last night acquitted Sung
Sohi Kuei of charge OF numbering
Lum Tum in q noodle factory, but
today the stoical, 28-year- -old former
Chinese Army soldier faced charge
of assault with dangerous weapon
and of illegally entering the country.
The alleged assault victim is Low
Sing, noodle factory employe, who
was shot during the alteration in
which Tum, 50-year-old factory
foreman, was shot to death.
The Government charges Kuei
jumped ship in Philadelphia two
years ago.
Sung heard his acquittal with the
same imperturbability which mark
ed his attitude all through the trial.
When Low Sing, who was wounded
IN the fracas at the noodle factory,
was testifying, with the aid of a
young Chinese woman interpreter,
Sung tried to get the attention of
his lawyer seated next to him at
the counsel table.
The attorney was 80 intent on
following Lows pantomime account
of how he had been shot-the un-
translated account In which the
witness shouted "Bang!" and fen
on the fioor-that he ignored
Sung's taps on his arm.
Finally he turned inquiringly to
Sung. who was overheard to say,
"Pletty Chinese girl"
The jury deliberated several hours
before generating Kuei, ending a
four-day trial which veteran court
officials declared was one of the
oldest in local annals. Stories of
dogs and cats being skinned and
placed in rice pots, related through
a Chinese interpreter, and in pidgin
English, enlivened the proceedings.
Howard Lee, proprietor of the
noodle plant at 1S41 Fifth street
NV, spent most Of yesterday on
the stand and denied raising Sung's
salary $40 to keep him from "caus-
ing trouble" by telling policemen
about the three little kittens cooked
in the rice pot.
Kuei was defended by Attorney
Thomas Ahearn.

A troublesome pig which caused a
butcher to break his leg spent last
night in the cellar of No. II precinct
police station, but was at large again
today.
Police spent most of the morning
in futile search for the porker in
the woods around Anacostia Park.
Ivan Mikalaski, So, of 405 Anacos-
tia road Sc, the butcher, had been
doctoring the pig for a sore jaw,
police said, as a favor to a neighbor
who owns the animal. The pig
escaped from Mr.. Mikalaski's yard
last night and police, notified the
animal was roaming the neighbor-
hood, called at the butchers home
and ordered him to round it up.
Mr.. Mikalask1 caught the pig and
was carrying it home in his arms
when he fell and broke his leg. He
is in Casualty Hospital.
The pig, again free, led police an
hours chase before being caught a
second time. Precinct No. II police
returned the porker to its owner this
morning and it escaped third time
But the precinct police on duty to-
day claimed they did not know the
pigs owner or who returned the pig
before 1t escaped again. ssHy'

Clatterbuck's sanity.
Dies at $40 AM.
w. Frank Smyth, superintendent

Clatterbuck died at $40 am.

visited him in the death cell at the
penitentiary yesterday. NJ. NJ, John
and Briscoe Clatterbuck, all of Lou-
doun County. His 30-year-old wife.
five children and aged mother did
not visit him, however.
Until yesterday, when Gov. Darden
refused to intervene further, it
had been thought that executive
Intervention might save Clatter-
buck.
A last-minute effort to prevent
the electrocution was abandoned
when his counsel decided not to
petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
A. hearing had been tentatively
scheduled for, am. today in the
Richmond City Circuit Court and
later was Cancelled.
Darden Refuses to Interfere.
Gov. Darden said he had given
every possible consideration" to the
case. "I do not feel" the Governor
said, "that 1t would be warranted
to interfere with the judgment OF
the courts"
The Governor announced his de-
cision after he had studied thirc
report submitted by the Advisory
Board on Mental Hygiene. This re-
port said Our opinion Is that there
has not been" any change in Clat.
terbucks mental condition since
the crime was committed, but thai
his mental condition is now sub.
stantially the same as 1t was at thai
time"
The report, the third to be made
by the board in the case, was con.
cerned with the question of whether
Clatterbuck had become insane since
his trial and conviction. The ques.
tien of his sanity was a principa
issue in the trial, the Governor ha!
stated that he felt he should bast
his decision on whether Clatterbuci
had become insane since the crime
since the trial court had judged the
defendant sane, and the State Su.
preme Court of Appeals had refused
to review the case on appeal.

To Make Changes
By August !

The Interstate Commerce Com.
mission reaffirmed today its earlier
decision ordering reduction OF bus
fares from the District to Govern

and notified bus lines involved to
comply with the order by August /.
The previous order, issued in Jan-

Judge tribunal In District Court on
the ground the ICC had failed to
show 1t had Jurisdiction in the mat
ter Today's supplemental report
declares the commission does have
jurisdiction. b
The order prescribes that fares
on Capital Transit buses shall be
the same as those maintained with
in the District, while those on Vir-
ginia lines shall be reduced to three
tokens for Is cents. It also provides
q cost of go for IL one-way trips,
to be valid on Virginia lines and
bus and bus-streetcar lines of the

Single Fare Rate Cut.
The $1.60 rate represents q single
fare Of 1879 cents per trip, against
the prevailing rate Of 18ks cents
when commuters are obliged to
transfer from Virginia buses to

Virginia bus lines affected by the
order are the Washington, Virginia

The ruling will mean reduced

The commission urged the bus
lines to put the new fares into

Attorneys for the lines had argued
that since they were operating with

Washington and were not engaged
In interstate transportation the ICC
could not regulate fares. The ICC
contended, however, that operation
Of the lines was necessary to carry
out the national transportation poll

i The commission also pointed ouo
that most of the passengers carried
by the lines were lower-salaried
