YOUTHS CRASH IN
STOLEN AUTO At
BEAvERDAM LIGHT
Canton Boy Hurt Seriously
As Car Hits Three Autos,
Truck And Pole
Highway Patrolmen Pursuing
Car Arrest Second Boy West
of Beaverdam After Crash

Attempting to escape from pur-
suing state highway patrolmen, two
Canton youths wrecked a stolen
automobile in Beaverdam about
z. M. Tuesday when the skidding
vehicle struck three parked cars,
then finally crashed into a telephone
pole.
Both youths were apprehended by
patrolnaen lowing the crash. One
who suffered internals injuries was
taken into custody at. the scene of
the mishap, and the second was
picked upsabout one hour later while
attempting to hitch-hike a ride on
the outskirts of Beaverdam on the
Lincoln highway.
The highway patrol fsaid names
given them by the teerkagers were
Darrell Lathuro, 16, andsLen Lieber,
15, both of Canton, who are charged
with having stolen the car which
they were driving, 1897 Mercury
sedan, earlier in the day at Wooster.
In Hospital
Lathuro is in Lima Memorial
hospital with internal injuries suffer
ed irF the crash, and Lieber was
taken to district patrol headquarters
at Findlay for questioning. Lathuro
was treated following the nnishap at
the Beaverdam office of Dr. w. C.
Laycoek, and was later removed to
the LiSna hospital in the Paul Diller
ambulance, of Bluffton.
Highway patrolmen picked up the
trail OF the stolen car early Tuesday
night, after the boys had stopped at
an Upper Sandusky filing station
and left without paying for gasoline.
The station operator reported the
occurrence to highway patrolmen,
and patrol car on the Lincoln
highway spotted the stolen car short
ly after it crossed the Hancock
county line about p. m.
Knowing they were pursued, the
youths went into Beaverdam at
high rate of speed, and their car
got out of control as they attempted
to stop when a truck in front of
them was halted by the traffic light.
Skidding into tree parked cars, the
automobile careened into the truck
and then smashed into telephone
pole, completely wrecking the
vehicle.
Lieber admitted being a partner
with Lathuro in three previous stol-
an car jobs in Canton but they had
been released to go home. After be-
ing in school for two days, Lieber
said the stole car in Canton, aban-
doing it in Wooster where they stole
the car they wrecked.

The SciOtO Cave
dWeller

The skull is large and smooth and
cold and it grins ironically at you
there on the study table of DR.. G. w.
Heffner, oldest physician in Circle
vile. 1t always is cold because human
bones never warm-not even when
you lay them out in the sunshine.
The grin is. ironical only when you
know the story behind the skull. 1t
is that q. q man who thought so little
of his fellows that he had fotlsEag
whatever 70 do with them and so be-
came a~hermit. After 157 years of
seclusion in life and death the skull
still Is hermit-resting far from its
thousands of fellows in southern Ohio
cemeteries. ~*
When William Hewitt came to Ohio
at 26 he was an imposing and pictur-
esque figure Six feet two, with broad
shoulders and deep chest, the youth
was as straight as an Indian arrow
and weighed more than 200 pounds.
He had long, curling black hair and
flashing black eyes.
Dressed i'm Buckskin
Tradition, handed down through
generations in jackson and Pike
counties, relates that he was dressed
from head to foot in buckskin, wore
moccasins, leggins, a hunting shirt
and always carried a gun, tomahawk
and hunting knife. That was in 1890
just two years after the first boat
loads of settlers had arrived at
Marietta and Cincinnati.
Two stories were told as to the
reason for the young giants becom-
ing a recluse. One was that back in
Virginia, because of his wife's infidel-
ity he had killed her paramour and
fled. The other, that he had quarreled
with his family over the disposition
of his fathers estate and disgusted
by the avarice of his relatives had
sought solitude in the wilderness. The
latter, related by his relatives in 1882
after Hewitt had been lost to them
for more than 40 years, appears most
probable.
Hewitt first found a cave in what
now is Jackson county and moved in
to it. When settlers and traders be-
gan to arrive and the game was
growing scarce, he moved over into
Pike County and found another cave.
Beside the Scioto Trail, on US
Route %, about 51a miles north of
Waverly, Hewitt's Cave still remains.
A monument erected above it by la
borers when the Columbus-Ports-
mouth road was being built in 1s40-
AZ, has weathered nearly a century.

Hewitt's Cave was a great ledge
of rock projecting eight or ten feet
