OF Staying Brother,
Gets Life Sentence

Clarence Van Mort, 81, was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment yes
terday in Circuit Court in Rock
vile for fatally shooting his
brother william. ~, last Christ
mas eve.
A jury Of nine men and three
women found Van Mort guilty of
first-degree murder without capt.
tai punishment. The jury delib-
|erated hour and IS minutes.
The Staying occurred at the vic
TINS home, 6513 Seven Locks
lroad, Cabin John, Md, after an
argument over the arrangement
of the Nativity scene beneath the
Van Mort Christmas tree.
The defendant told the court
he was too drunk at the time of
the shooting to remember the de-
tails.
Clarence said he recalled only
"a "blast of white flame" coming
from the muzzle of the double
barreled shotgun he had used.
A confession given police after
the shooting was admitted into
evidence, over objections of De-
fense Attorneys Joseph B. Simp-
son. jr., and Emmitt Mckenzie.
The attorneys contended the de-
fendant was drunk when he made
the confession.
Van Mort. however. told the
court he remembered giving the
statement, but could not recall
the details Of what he had said.
Mrs. Katherine Van Mort, widow
of the slain man. was the chief
State witness.
She said the defendant had
stayed at the home since March.
1851. and for two weeks before
the shooting had been drinking
heavily. She said he came home
drunk about 10 o'clock on Christi
mas Eve and used abusive Ian
guage toward her and criticized
Iher tree decorations.
Mrs. Van Mort said the de-
fendant then went down to the

her husband. who began arguing
with Clarence. She said her hus-
band came back upstairs and told
her to call the police, as there's
going to be trouble"
She said that before she made
the call Clarence came upstairs
with the shotgun and shot her
husband in the chest, knocking
him to the floor near the Christ
mas tree. Mrs. Van Mort ran
across the street OF a neighbor's
house and called police.

tedious and Intellectual.
Erie personnel whipped this
problem by designing and obtain
ing the manufacture of a vapor
hone through the use of which
relatively fine abrasives could be
floated in water and sprayed
against the walls of the tube bore
to remove rust.
This hone is capable of clean
ing tubes as long as 16 feet in
length, such as that Of the 80
inillimeter antiai1craft gun, and
as large as the 155 millimeter
howitzer in diameter, and as
small as the tube of the 10 milli-
meter howitzer antiaircraft wea-
pom.
Not only did this method
prove effective and labor-saving
in preparing gun tubes for stor-
age, but, during the present
emergency, it now is proving
equally as efficient and time-sav-
ing in the reconditioning of ar
tillery weapons for reuse by COM
bat forces.
While Erie engineers designed
this piece of equipment as a part
of their job requirements, two
Erie shop employees were able to
benefit through the Army's sug-
gestion program for their sub
mitted and adopted idea for a
lining for the hone nozzle.
Charlie Oil, Elmore, shop fore
man, and Wayne Fee, Port Clin-
ton, production control clerk,
collaborated in 1947 in devising
a modification in the metal cut
ting nozzle of the vapor hone by
applying a lining of rubber which
reduced the abrasive wear on the
nozzle.
The savings resulted from the
use of this lining, which extend
ed the life of the metal nozzle,
were estimated at $4,000 for the
first year of its use By regula-
ton the two suggestors were paid
five per cent of this estimated
savings, and they split the $13C
award.

Proving a great money saver
and means of furnishing better
reconditioned artillery to fight
ing soldiers, the vapor hone
(abOve) removes rust from used
gun tubes. Designed and devel-
oped by Erie Ordnance Depot
engineers in cooperation with
industry in 1916, it has been
adopted since for general use
throughout the Ordnance
Corps. Albert Covert, Oak
Harbor, operates the hone, di-
rected by Elmer Witt, Port
Clinton, supervisor.
The American taxpayer is ben.
efitting by thousands of dollars
from Erie Ordnance Depot's de-
velopment, with the cooperation
of industry, of the vapor hone
which is used to remove rust
from used and stored gun tubes.
Of even more Importance is
the fact that by this development,
fighting soldiers are assured of
more perfect artillery weapons.
In 1916, at the cessation of hos.
tilities, artillery pieces Of all cal
ibres poured into Erie Ordnance
Depot from global battlefields
The American taxpayers had paid
fortunes for these weapons; Army
Ordnance was faced with the
problem of storing them as eff
ciently as possible.
A major problem was the thor
ough cleaning Of heavily used
weather-beaten cannons.
The previous method of re-
moving rust with wire brushes
which were incapable of reach
ing bottoms of pits, was slow
