Charges of Murder
Face Elderly Pair in
Slaying of Three
Ocala, Fla U.R) Author
ities made plans today to charge
an elderly couple with first de
gree murder for slaying three
policemen in a wild 90-minute
gun battle Saturday night.
County Judge D. R. Smith
said Edward Samuel Lindley, 73,
and his 70-year-old wife, Bertha,
would be arraigned on first de
gree murder charges, probably
today.
The former Indiana couple
shot it out with about 30 law
officers Saturday night before
surrendering from their modest,
brick-block home which they had
turned into a heavily armed fort
ress. One policeman was wound
ed in addition to the three killed.
States Attorney A. T. Bwie said
following the inquest yesterday
that "it looks like premediated
murder with any officer who
came upon the scene a prospec
tive victim."
Buie said "It's pretty clear to
us that the officers were shot
down in cold blood without a
chance and without knowing
they were stepping into any
thing more than a neighborhood
squabble."
Indictment Sought
The state's attorney said the
state would seek a grand jury
indictment against Lindley, a
retired Indiana school teacher,
and his wife.
The couple was accused of
killing Sheriffs Deputies Bob
Wooten, 53, and Curtis Young
blood, 35, when they went to
the Lindley home to iv-" - "
a reported neighborhood squab
ble. Assistant Police cmc ....
Tuck, was killed in the ensuing
gun battle that followed and
Deputy W. G. Ergle Jr., 26, was
wounded.
After the couple surrendered
and came out of their tear gas
filled home, police uncovered an
estimated 25 guns, all loaded and
ready to fire. A "hot rod" panel
truck was parked outside.
The souped up truck contain
ed still more weapons and am
munition, a special carburetor
for high speeds, two extra gas
oline tanks and special tool box
es built under the hood.
Teacher's Pension
"Just about the only place we
didn't find a gun was in the
bathroom," said Sheriff Don Mc
Leod. McLeod said an incomplete
investigation disclosed that the
couple had only $150 teacher's
pension as a source of income,
although other officers said
large sums of money and many
bank deposit slips were found in
the house.
Police went to the house after
the Lindleys' next door neigh
bor, Douglas Wingfield, called
and reported that Lindley had
taken a pot shot at him follow
ing an argument.
While discussing the reported
shooting with another neighbor
before police were called, Lind
ley Said "I. did not" shoot at
Wingfield. "I'm a dead shot. If
I had (shot), I would have killed
him."
Wooten and Youngblood went
to investigate the incident and
were greeted by Mrs. Lindley
who was armed with a shotgun.
"She told them to leave their
guns in the car' the sheriff said.
"Naturally they refused."
Husband Started Shooting
Judge Smith said that J. B.
Williams, a neighbor who wit
nessed the shooting of the offic
ers, testified at the inquest thai
when the officers attempted to

Scientists Find
Increased Uses
For Old Corncobs
Washington U.R) The tough
old corncob, long a rural main
stay, does 810,000,000 worth of
jobs in the city these days.
It all came about through agri
culture research. Scientists dis
covered during many years of
effort that the corncob, rough
exterior and all, is a valuable
product that can be used widely
by industry.
More than 1,000,000 tons of
corncobs are now used yearly in
factory operations and indus
trial products. The return to
farmers and rural cob grinders
ranges up to 510,000,000.
Variety of Uses
About half the xobs are used
in the production of chemical
furfural, which is necessary in
making nylon, synthetic rubber,
pharmaceuticals,, and resins, for
petroleum refining, and as an
industrial solvent.
The remaining half-million
tons of cobs have a variety of
uses. These include livestock
feedings; smoothing, cleaning,
and polishing metals, glass, plas
tics, and molded rubber items;
air-blast cleaning of engine parts
and large electric-motor and
generator installations; serving
as a carrier for insecticides and
as a constituent of plastics and
tread stock for automobile snow
tires.
World War Boost
Other thousands of tons of
corncobs which never leave the
farm are used whole or coarse
ly ground for poultry litter,
livestock bedding, garden
mulch, and for filling lowlands
and preventing erosion. Many
farmers do their own grinding
and often return cobs to fields
to loosen heavy soils and main
tain humus.
The "Missouri meerschaum,"
or corncob pipe, represents only
a small part of the total cob
usage. Only about 750 tons of
corncobs are used annually in
making pipes. .
Industry began making some
use of corncobs in the 1920s, in
the polishing of costume jew
elry, for example. -The big in
crease began in World War II.
Millions of cobs went into the
production of furfural for mak
ing synthetic rubber. Also de
veloped was a highly effective
method of cleaning aircraft en
gine and other machine parts,
using a mixture of rice hulls and
ground cobs in high-pressure air
blast equipment.
The air-blast method later was
adapted to low-pressure opera
tion for soft-grit cleaning of
large electric motors and generators
