of the manhunt:
Mrs. Schultz, who was married
nearly seven years ago. met Clark
three years ago while she was
working as waitress in an lex
andria restaurant next door to
the cab firm where Clark worked.
Clark took a fancy to her and
she told her husband she had
gone out with him several times.
She insisted, however. that she
didn't want to see him.
Warrant Refused.
Last summer. Clark hid in the
woods across from the Schultz
house and fired half a dozen
shots at Schultz, Mrs. Schultz
and her sister, Mrs. Dorothy
Cook. They ran into the house
and Clark SlaShed Schultz'S auto
tires with a knife and cut out the
brake lines. He was placed on
probation.
Friday, Clark threw q rock
through the window Of the
Schultz home while Mr.. Schultz
and Mr.. Brown were away from
the house.

him" said Mr.. Schultz. He used |
to come around at night. He's |
threatened to kill us hundred |
and one times
He went to Justice of the !
Peace Harry Shepherd at Grove
ton to get warrant after the |
Friday rock-throwing but was
turned down and advised to see |
Clark's probation officer.
Yesterday, Mr.. Schultz. Mr..

Fired without Saying Word.
While the two men were stand
ing in the road working on the
car. Clark drove up in his cab
and stopped.
AS he stepped out Of his cab,
he pulled out a 16gauge auto
matte shotgun and aimed at Mr.. |
Schultz. He didn't say a word"
said Mr.. Schultz. He was about |
20 yards away. The first shot |
took off my hat a cap with a
long visor. 1 started to run and !
the next shot got me in the |
shoulder. Then the third shot
caught me in the left hand"
Meanwhile, Mr.. Brown was
throwing rocks at Clark. When
Clark turned his gun on Mr..
Brown. the latter started 100
yard chase across a field. Clark |
shot him in the left foot.
While the chase was going on.

to get his son. Clark returned to
the road as Mr.. Schultz reached |
the boy but Clark simply flddled |
with his gun a moment, got in |
his cab and drove away Ioward
the Schultz home.
Despite his wounds, Mr. Schultz
raced to a neighbor'S house with !
his son. There, he called police,
left the boy and ran a quarter |
mile through the fields to his .
home.

police were already there" he
went on. Il saw my mother-in-
law lying in the doorway in the |
back. ran through the house |
and found my wife lying on the
floor in the front room. I kneeled !
down beside her but the police |
pulled me away. Clark always |
claimed if he couldn't have her,
no one else would"
The manhunt got under way /
at once. A call went out for |
bloodhounds and at 2:45 pm.
police sent for long-range weap-
ons and reinforcements.
The search centered in an
area Of nine square miles. More |
than 100 Fairfax County, Alex
andria and State police started |
patrolling. along with flremen
and volunteers. Clusters of |
armed men moved grimly |
through the woods and fields.
They famed out from Milton's |
sawmill both because a man had |
reported seeing Clark with
shotgun in that area and be-
cause Clark's cab was found |
Abandoned a short distance away. |
Body Bullet Riddled
A bloodhound was given
sn.ff at the cab but started |
weaving around and was put back |
In the truck.
While the men were out, farm
women remained behind locked |
doors, peering from drawn cur
