VN1s 0C4AuAGd, a u uOh OA1fCA
who was laid off a few weeks
ago, gave this account of the
tragedy and it's background as he
sat in Groveton police Substa-
ton awaiting news of the results
of the manhunt:
Mrs. Schultz, who was married
nearly seven years ago. met Clark
three years ago while she was
working as a waitress in an Alex
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 a rock
through the window OF the
Schultz home while Mr.. Schultz
and Mr.. Brown were away from
the house.
I'VE Just couldn't get rid of
him" said Mr.. Schultz. He used
to come around at night. He's
threatened to kill us a hundred
and one times"
He went to Justice OF the
Peace Harry Shepherd at Grove
ton to get a warrant after the
Friday rock-throwing but was
turned down and advised to see
Clarks probation officer.
Yesterday, Mr.. Schultz, Mr..
Brown and the Schultz boy
started out from the house to go
shopping and their car broke
down about a quarter mile from
home.
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 16-gauge 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 of my hat ca cap with a
long visor. 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 a 100
yard chase across field. Clark |
shot him in the left foot.
While the chase was going on.
Mr.. Schultz ran back to the car |
to get his son. Clark returned to |
the road as Mr.. Schultz reached
the boy but Clark simply f1ddled
with his gun a moment, got in |
his cab and drove away Iward
the Schultz home.
Despite his wounds, Mr. Schultz
raced to neighbor'S house with
his son. There, he called police,
left the boy and ran a quarter
mile through the fields to his
home.
Women Already Dead.
when I got there, I saw the
police were already there" he
went on. Il saw my mother-in-
law lying in the doorway in the
back. I 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 firemen
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 a
6r.f at the cab but started
weaving around and was put back

While the men were out, farm
women remained behind locked
doors, peering from drawn cur

Finally, the end came. This is
how Detective O'Neil told that
part of the story:
I'VE were mHking a tGlilding-
by-building search near the saw
mill and the tower "a 10O-foot
lookout tower used by Fort
Belvoir for surveying). walked
into this little 10-by-10 shed and
there he was with gun. I shot
three times and he shot back.
We both shot at the same time.
I don't know where hit him.
We were only about six feet
apart. I ran outside and told the
rest to take cover. Trooper
(Raymond) Nance helped me
back to the car and the rest
opened fire on the She'd.
Fairfax Policemen Hilary

O'Neil was shot, police and volun-
