Alleged Strungler
Found Not Guilty
Due to Insanity

A man accused Of being a
stranger was found not guilty
by reason Of insanity yesterday
after spending eight years al
st. Elizabeths Hospital because
he was declared mentally in
competent to stand trial.
The defenda Herman
Clark. 80, was indicted in 1856
on a first degree murder charge
in the brutal Staying Of Mrs
Edna v. Bell, IL, on December
6, 1855.
Mrs. Bells nude body was
found two weeks later behind
a garage in the 1900 block OF
Seventh street NV. Clark was
picked up in January, 1856, in
Florida.
He was sent to st. Elizabeths
and found to be incompetent to
stand trial. However, last
month, st. Elizabeths officials
declared him competent to
stand trial in that he under
stood the nature Of the charge
against him and could ade-
quately aid in his own defense
But st. Elizabeths also found
that Clark suffered from q
mental illness producing the
crime.
Judge Leonard p. Walsh
heard the murder case without
q jury and acquitted Clark. He
was remanded back to st. Eliza
beths.

mine lay delegates are still to
be elected by the approximately
1.400 delegates attending the
181st session Of the Virginia
Conference, largest in all Meth
odism with sixteen districts and
$50, 900 members.
Bishop Paul Neff CARRIER Of
Richmond is presiding at the
sessions, which opened yester-
day and end Thursday with the
reading of ministerial appoint
ments for the coming year.
Sees Population Soaring
Mr.. Hughes report forecast a
population increase in Arling-
ton by 1880 Of more than 100,-
900. Arlington presently has
i63,401 persons. He warned
Methodists must develop a large
number Of new churches to
meet this population increase,
and pointed out that two de-
velopments now under way,
Sterling Park and Reston, alone
call for 10 more Methodist
Ichurches.
The district superintendent
reported his area now has So
churches and 31.693 members,
an increase of 1892 members
over a year ago. He also noted
that the district raised 50 mil
lion for all purposes during the
last IL months.
The Rev. Harry w. Backhus
III, superintendent of the Alex
andria district, reported his
section has 81 churches and
about $4,000 members. an in
crease of 1,167 over the 1861
so figure. He also pointed out
that the district raised more
than 50 million.
District Split
Until the 1862 Virginia con-
ference, both districts were in
the old Alexandria district, but
this became so unwieldy it was
split into the present Arling-
ton and Alexandria districts.
DR.. Riddick served as super
intendent Of the original Alex
andria district until last year.
The Commission on Minimum
Salary outlined a foT-year
plan for 1864 through 1868 to
bring minimum salaries up to
a higher level. Where the local
church cannot pay this scale,
the difference will be supple
mented by conference funds.
AS outlined by the commits
sion, married ministers for
l964-65 will have q minimum
salary Of $4,000 and single men
$4,000; the following year they
will receive $4,000 and $4.100
respectively; in l966-67 the fig
ures go to $4,000 and $4,000,
and in 1967-68 to $4,000 and
$4,000.
