Waynesboro Charged Will) Theft of Dead Man's Auto TWO OTHERS SOUGHT AS HIS ACCOMPLICES George J. Bushman's Tragic End May Be Cleared by the I First Arrest; Car Is Found in Philadelphia Garage Gettysburg. Pa., Oct. 25.—With the arrest of Clarence Collins, for merly of this town, it is thought that the identity of the murderfers of George J. Bushman, whose dead body • was found a week ago along the j River Road near Lucknow, is in a I fair way to he solved. Collins was arrested in the Lan dis Tool Works at Waynesboro last night. Until recently he has lived in Gettysburg. The arrest was made by County Detective Charles H. Wil son on the technical charge of being implicated in the theft of Bushman's automobile, which disappeared the night of his death. IxK>k For Two Others Harry C. White, Harrisburg detec tive who is working on the murder case, cameto Gettysburg for Collins j this afternoon, who was brought to | the Adams county jail by Detective ) Wilson last night. Detectives White | and Wilson are now looking for two j other men who are known, to have , been implicated in the robbery of ! Bushman's automobile following his murder. The Hudson Supersix automobile driven by Bushman the night of his murder has been located in the ga rage of E. C. Sherman, of Philadel phia. Bushman was murdered last | Wednesday night. Information fer reted out by Detective White was to ■ the effect that the three men now ; thought to have murdered Bushman i appeared at the Philadelphia garage | •fS'hursday morning with the automo- I bile. As late as Saturday, one of I the three men returned and attempt-j ed to sell the automobile to Sher-, man. Sherman, however, was sus- | picious, and held the fellow off. and ; told him to call again. In the mean- ; time he received notice of the carl that was stolen from Bushman and. found that it tallied with the car I stored in his garage by the three > young men. They did not show up \ again, and the local authorities were notified. Worked on Clue During the. early part of his in vestigation, Detective Wilson learnecf that not a man and a woman, as : was at first supposed, but several men, accosted Bushman in the square here and asked for a lift to Harrisburg the night of the murder. Wilson and White accordingly con ducted their Investigations on that ■ theory. , For several days the identity of the men who are thought to have J murdered Bushman lias been known to the authorities. This was not dis closed while there was a chance of arresting them, however. But with the ( arrest of Collins last night, it was impossible to keep the develop- j inents in the case a secret any j longer. Hail Reputation The other two young men, as well ; as Collins, are well known in Get- j tysburg, and are considered gener- j ally disorderly characters, it'ls said' by the authorities. Their Rges j range from 20 to 25 years, it is said. Officials have refused to divulge the identity of the other men lmpli-j rated in the case. The place and manner in which the murder was ' committed, except by revolver shots | through the back of the head and j through the chest, also have been' kept secret, if indeed they are known | to the police. 1 It is thought robbery was the mo-1 tive of the crime, as Bushman was i suspected to be carrying several hun- j dred dollars on his persons several j days before the murder.

Americans captured an Immense J German armored battleplane Wednes- | day north pf Brieulles. The machine : was virtually intact but the pilot and gunner had made their escape. j It is presumed that the battleplane j was downed a day or two ago by j American aviators. It was equipped I with a bomb-dropping device and had a gun and a sighting arrangement so fixed that the gunner can see to shoot directly beneajth him. This gun ' was for firing on roads.

Return of a Repub lican majority to either house of Congress, the President said, "would be certainly interpreted on the other side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership."
