Maniac
Kills
Mother

Mrs. Elliott, if you keep
that boy around here he is
liable to kill you. Sheriff
Louis Robusky told Mrs. Carl
Elliott of Clay street, Hunts
burg a year ago.
Last week he did.
The murder of the 80 year
old woman by her insane son
apparently occurred Thurs
day but was not discovered
until Saturday morning. A
nephew, coming to visit,
opened the kitchen door Sat
urday morning and saw the
body on the floor. He went
across the street to Hal STAN
toms and called the Sheriff's
office that the woman was
dead. The sheriff, having no
reason to expect anything ex-
cept a normal death, dispat-
ched an ambulance, driven
by Phil King and Deputy Tom
Murray to make a routine in
vestigation and report.
But a quick, close look at
the body with a heavy frac-
tured blood drenched teapot
nearby showed a violent dea-
tn.
1--WE looked around tn e
room. says Phil King, land
then, without saying any
thing, Tom pointed to a mans
feet lying on the sofa a n d
sticking out into the kitchen.
The thought went through,
my mind we probably has a
murder and suicide case"
"I pulled the drape between
the rooms back and looked in.
The man was lying on b | s.
back on the sofa with his
arms across his chest. As
soon as I looked at his face
(his eyes were open) ! knew
he was crazy. He just a y
there without moving.
Tom hadn't been expect
ing anything like this. He
whispered to me out in the
kitchen to go out to the ear
and get his handouts. -
After King left the r o o m
the man got up and moved
over to rocking chair In the
room. He seemed quiet and
Murray didn't bother him un-
til Phil came back and slipp-
ed the handouts into his
hands behind his back.
Murray got one handcuff
on before the man started
fighting. He and King were
unable to get the other hand
cuff on the fighting 210 pound
man until other deputies ar
rived.
The insane man was Albert
Elliott, A, whom the police
had had committed a year a.
go to an insane asylum for
fighting with his mother. She
had later without the sheriff
f's knowledge, interviewed to
have him released. He w as
brought into the county jail
and transferred back to his
hospital in a few hours.
Monday he was transferred
to Lima, an institute for the
criminally insane.

There circumstances of law and fact under
which the only proper safe place to hold person is
in jail The instance that Immediately comes to my
mind is that of the terrified 13-year old girl who had
been crminaly assaulted by her father and had been
threatened with death if she testified This instance
didn't happen in New York Chicago, it happened
in Geauga County and not long ago. Had we had
proper children's facility she would not have been
placed in the JAIL but similar things happen to adult
witnesses
These are few, just few, of the reasons we
who live in Geauga must do something constructive
about the Jail.

From Booth JuiIs
Man for Year

A Washington man was SEN
fenced to a year in Jail yeSter-
day for breaking into a phone
booth and stealing the 800 tele-
phone, which contained about
$55 in change.
The defendant, Lacy Moore,
"a of the 1900 block of YER
mont avenue NV, was arrested
after police found part of a
missing phone in his car. A
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co. official said the serial
number on the part indicated
it was part of the phone which
had been ripped from the wall
of a booth in the 1900 block of
Good Hope road Sc.
"These phones are a con-
venience to the public and too
many of them have been
smashed recently" said NUM-
cipal Court Judge Thomas c.
Scalley Perhaps a servere ex-
ample will help stop this sort
thing"
The phone company informed
the judge that several similar
cases have been reported in
recent months.
Judge Scalley SENTENCED
Moore to serve 1870 days for
destroying private property and
another 1870 days for larceny
The defendant, who had denied
the charges, had no previous
criminal convictions here.

Impaired. . House COMMITTEES
Says. because Of what 1t termed
United States "nakedness in
civil defense"
On the other hand. the COM
mittee says. the Soviet Union
has undertaken an intensive
civil defense program. includ-
Ing compulsory mass training
lof the population.
These points were stressed
yesterday in a survey report on
civil defense operations in
Russia and Western Europe,
prepared by the House Military
Operations subcommittee.
at the present time the
report said, "the United States
lacks the means to protect its
people in the event of nuclear
war. and Soviet strategists
cannot be unaware of our
nakedness in civil defense"
"a strong civil defense" the
report said. "can indicate to a
potential aggressor the serious
ness of our intentions, while a
weak or ineffective civil de-
Tense might cause the enemy
to underestimate our determi-
nation to resist encroachment."
Regarding Russian civil de-
Tense efforts, the report said:
THE scope and intensity OF
this mass training program
probably means that more
people have learned the fun
damentals of civil defense in
the Soviet Union than in any
other country"
The subcommittee said its
study of the Soviet program
was prepared by the Library
of Congress mainly from Rus
sian technical journals and
other documents available in
this country.
