FRIDAY EVENING, iLLRIUSBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 18, 1918.
SEEK MOTIVE IN
THE MURDER OF
GETTYSBURG MAN
Left Home in Automobile
With Unrecognized Man
and Woman
Complete mystery continues to
cloud the motives and identity of the
murder of George J. Busliman, well
to-do garage owner of Gettysburg,
whose body was found along the river
road at Lucknow with a bullet wound
in the back of the head and in the
left breast yesterday morning.
City police and County Detective
Walters are conducting an investi
gation here, while Charles Wilson,
county detective at Gettysburg, is
investigating the affair from that
place.
Charles Plank, brother-in-law of
Bushman, was in the city last night.
He told the authorities that Bushman
rode away from Gettysburg Wednes
day night in a large touring car with
a man and woman, whose identity
Plank did not know. That was the
last seen of him until G. H. Eisen
hower, and B. if. Neine, of Dauphin,
found the body along the river bank,
about a quarter of a mile north of
the old Country Club lane. The body
was covered with an automobile robe.
Robbery Not Motive
Robbery is not considered the mo
tive of the crime. Twenty-live dol
lars, papers, letters, receipts, and an
promissary note which had not been
negotiated, were among the personal
effects found in his pockets.
A slight clue to the identity of the
murderer or murderers came to light
yesterday when Steven (Jruber, who
lives about a hundred yards from the
place where the body was found, de
clared that he was awakened Wed
nesday night by the noise of auto
mobiles. When hfe got up to investi
gate, he saw two machines standing
along the road. He did not see any
cne moving about, he said.
George J. Bushman, aged 57, was
the son of Lewis Bushman, president
of the Gettysburg bank. He is sur
vived by his wife, a son, Clarence,
now in the army, and a daughter.
Airs. C. R. Holder, of Texas. Bush
man conducted an auto transfer busi
ness in Gettysburg, and was widely
known there.
Gasless Sunday Ban Lifted;
1,000,000 Barrels Saved
Washington, Oct. 18.—Fuel Ad
ministrator Garfield yesterday lifted
the ban on "gas'olineless" Sundays,
effective at once.
Should gasoline stocks again fall
dangerously low, it was stated at
the fuel administration, the request
will be renewed. It is probable that
priority orders will begin for ship
ment of gasoline overseas.
In announcing the withdrawal
of the request, the fuel administra
tor said through the loyal response
of the public, 1,000,000 barrels of
gasoline was saved for the military
forces.
The stocks of gasoline east of Cali
fornia, it was stated, have not ma
terially increased or decreased. On
October 14, the stocks were 3,134,-
731 barrels of motor gasoline and
166,369 barrels of aviation gasoline.
This respresents the entire reserve
and is not available for export, as it
is stored in territory as far west as
Wyoming and includes storage in
various interior oil-producing locali
ties.
The peak load of domestic con
sumption is passing, in the belief
of the oil division of the fuel admin
istration, and it is hoped that over
seas shipments will not be quite so
heavy. Through a priority order
giving preference at refineries to
shipments for overseas, prompt sup
plies lor Europe will be assured and
if any shortage exists, it will be do
mestic.
' The fuel administration, it is stat
ed, now is considering the question
of conservation, with a view of deter
mining what further measures, if
any, will be needed.
