Just before he died, within an
hour after he was shot once and
possibly twice with a .45-caliber
revolver, young Stambaugh gave
police a meager description of his
assailant. Police would not re-
veal whether the dying man gave
the name of the person who shot
him.

.45-caliber bullets resembling the
slugs which killed Mr.. Stambaugh
in the home of the suspect. They
also found wet clothing which

scription Of the garments worn
by a man seen leaving Silver
Spring a short time after the
shooting.
Montgomery County policemen
and Washington detectives ar
rested the suspect at his home.

quarters with handouts on his
wrists to be booked as a fugitive
and left with him for Montgomery
County after he waived extradi-
ton.

scribed his assailant. police asked
cab drivers to be on the lookout
for the man. When the lookout
was received. Carroll A. Burch,
manager of the Silver Spring Tax
icsb Co.. reported that one of his
drivers had driven a man answer
ing description Of the fugitive to
Fourteenth and Farragut streets
NV. That tip led to the arrest.
Police were still questioning the
suspect at the Bethesda substation
early this. afternoon. They said
ne probably would be taken to
| Silver Spring later in the day.
No Motive Established.

charge of the investigation for the
Montgomery County police, said

not been established.
I'VE are of the opinion the VIC
tim met the killer in Lafayette
Park in Washington" Inspector
McAuliffe said.
An automobile parked without
gasoline short distance from the
spot where young Stambaugh had
been shot provided clues which
police said led them to Wash
ington.
Two Empty Shells Found.
Two empty shells from As
caliber revolver were found at the
scene of the shooting. One of the
slugs tore through Mr.. Stam-
baugh's stomach and paralyzed
him from the hips down.

Squad ambulance reached him the
victim moaned:
"Oh, please give me morphine.
You have my permission to give
me morphine"
He lapSed into unconsciousness
when he was placed in the am
bulance but regained his senses in
the Washington Sanitarium long
enough to give the meager de-
scription of his assailant.

graduate of George Washington
