Madman Killer of Truck Driver,
Two Divorcees Sought by Police
Carlsbad. N.M. State po
lice extended the search for a
madman killer to the back roads
and isolated towns of southern
New Mexico today.
Road blocks were thrown up
for 10 miles around the little
town of Tenny, N.M., after a
man possibly the slayer of
three persons on lonely New
Mexico roads Monday night
terrorized the postmistress, Mrs.
Virginia Guest, 40.
In California, police ponder
ed whether the New Mexico
slayer was the same person who
killed two policemen at El Se-
qundo. A .22 caliber weapon was
used in both crimes, and there
was time for the killer to travel
from California to New Mexico.
The New Mexico victims were
truck driver J. D. Cantrell, 26,
of Carlsbad, and two young di
vorcees, Mrs. Barbara Lemmons
and Mrs. Dorothy Gibson, both
23 and both from Hobbs, N.M.
Cantrell's body was found be
side his truck on U.S. Highway
180, 30 miles east of Carlsbad,
shot five times at close range.
Two Accidenls Are
Reported to Police
Two accidents on Highway 99
were reported to state police yes
terday.
. Darwin E. Hazlett, 1325 Mt
Pitt ave., a passenger in a car
driven by his son, Robert B.
..Hazlett? Portland, suffered a cut
on his hand whei the car in
which they were riding collided
with another car at the inter
section of Highway 99 and Scenic
; ave., north of Central Point, op
; erated by Byron Charles Tea-
; cock, route 1, box 318, Central
; Point, police said. Teacock was
.' cited for failure to "yield right of
. way to oncoming traffic, offi
' cers reported.
! At 9:55. p.m., Rachel June
I.Thompson, Grants Pass, reported
' to state police that a car she was
' driving on Highway 99 one
; mile north of Rogue River was
; sideswiped by another vehicle
; which did not stop at the scene
! of the accident, according to po
i lice.
Thirty five miles away, 10
miles south of Hobbs, the bodies
of the women were found six
hours later. They too had been
killed with .22 caliber bullets.
Asked for Bed
The Tenny incident occurred
Tuesday afternoon, several
hours after the killings. Mrs.
Guest told police the man came
into the post office and asked
for a bed for the night, and then
tried to cash a money order. She
refused both requests.
She said he looked at the cri
minal wanted circulars on the
post office bulletin board and
asked: "How come my picture
isn't up there?"
He asked Mrs. Guest to come
with him to his car, she said, but
she refused. "I have something
in my car that will make you
come with me," he said and
started for his car, a red 1952
Hudson.
Mrs. Guest said she took a
revolver from a drawer and
fired a shot in his general di
rection. The postmistress said
the man dropped and for a sec
ond she thought she had hit
him. But he got up, ran to his
car and drove west, away from
Tenny and Carlsbad.
Doubtful Suspects
Meanwhile, Sheriff Jewell
McAdoo said the former hus
bands of the two dead women,
Charles Lemmons of Carlsbad
and Pete Gibson of Hobbs, have
agreed to take lie detector tests.
East Oregon Fire
Situation Controlled
Portland (W Guy John
son, regional dispatcher for the
U.S: Forest Service, said today
the fire situation in eastern Ore
gon was under control in na
tional forests and that no im
mediate further trouble was ex
pected. John Hunt, fire control officer
for the Bureau of Land Manage
ment, said the situation on
rangelands also had eased fol
lowing a rugged night Monday
when fires broke out in rugged
country. A crew of ranchers
worked all night 10 miles north
of Drewsey in eastern Harney
county to halt one blaze.
Another fire, near Halfway,
was brought under control Mon
day night after covering some
2,000 acres.
There are about 1,100 known

and both had strong alibis.
He said Hoyt Wayne Lynch,
who had accompanied the wom
en to a dance the night they
were killed, also agreed to take
a lie detector test. But McAdoo
said none were the real suspects.
A motive for the killings was
hard to pin down. Neither Can
trell's wallet nor the women's
purses had been rifled, and the
women apparently were not
sexually attacked. A woman's
ring was found near Cantrell's
truck.
"The killer is obviously de
ranged he's a madman,"
State Policeman J. A. Smith
said.
Authorities speculated that
Cantrell had stopped to help
the women fix a tire, and the
murderer happened on them.
They surmise he shot Cantrell,
forced the women into his own
car and drove to the site he
chose to kill them.
Graham Planning
Vacation Aug. 15
New York (U) Evangelist
Billy Graham said Tuesday
night that if his extended New
York Crusade "goes beyond
Aug. 10 they may have to get
another preacher."
The 38-year-old minister said
he had no idea who started the
"rumor" that the crusade would
continue until Labor Day but
that he definitely was .going on
a vacation with his wife Aug.
15.
It was learned earlier, how
committee holds an option on
Madison Square Garden through
Sept. 2.
Addressing some 3 5,000 per
sons in the Garden, at the open
ing sesson of the second New
York Crusade extension, Gra
ham said that many of them had
betrayed Jesus Christ for a "mo
ment of passion, a moment of
lust."
"There are hundreds of you
here tonight who have betrayed
the Lord Jesus Christ for 30
pieces of silver, some of you for
less than that."
Tuesday night's attendance
raised the total for the crusade
which began May 15 to 1,218,
100. There were 369 new "de
cisions for Christ." making a
grand total of 37,471 during the
crusade.

Murder Charged
In Child's Death
Roseburg (W A Douglas
county grand jury indictment re
turned Tuesday charged Mrs.
Edith Ott, 47, Roseburg, with
second degree murder in connec
tion with the death of her adopt
ed daughter, 19-month-old Wen
dy Kay, June 14.
Wendy Kay, a Korean orphan
adopted by Mr. and Mrs. How
ard Ott last year, died June 14.
Mrs. Ott was arrested Tuesday
evening, but released on $5,000
bail. She was to be arraigned
today.
Earlier, District Attorney Av
ery Thompson sought to have
Mrs. Ott's other three foster
children taken from her, but the
petition was denied for lack of
evidence that the children had
been mistreated.
The child who died was a Ko
rean orphan brought to this
country by Harry Holt, Creswell
farmer. One of the other three
foster children of the Otts also
is a Korean orphan.
Holt's wife, in Portland for a
church meeting Tuesday night,
defended the Otts as a "wonder
ful Christian family."
