Asylum Parolee
Shot To Death
During Rampage
Castro Valley, Calif. OP!
A 43-year-old asylum parolee
was shot to death by sheriff's
deputies Wednesday after a
two -hour rampage during
which he burned down his
neighbor's home, destroyed
four autos and two outbuild
ings by fire, and attempted to
burn another neighbor's
home.
The man, Luis Silva, was
riddled with bullets when he
leaped out of a foxhole he
had previously prepared in
anticipation of his one-man
war and charged deputies
with a knife.
Awakened by Shooting
Authorities said the ram
page began at 5 a.m. when
Thess A. Peters, 39, manager
of a manufactures nlant. was
awakened by the sound of
shooting. He looked out to see
Silva firing at the Peters'
home.
Peters moved his wife, Lil
lian, and their two children
to a safe position and got his
shotgun to return the fire, but
Silva had moved out of range
to the back of the house.
Silva then smashed the glass
out of Peters' three cars and
pickup truck, sloshed gaso
line on the vehicles and a
nearby stable and carport
and touched them afire.
As the fire spread to Pe
ters' $25,000 main home, he
hustled his family to a neigh
bor's for safety.
Silva had disappeared by
the time nine deputies ar
rived on the scene, but they
found him at another resi
dence in the neighborhood
trying to set it afire with
gasoline and homemade fire
bombs fashioned of bundles
of matches held by rubber
bands.
Defied Demands
When Silva saw the deputies
he ran to his own cottage and
defied their demands to sur
render. They fired two tear
- gas bombs into the building
and Silva dashed out and
leaped into his fox hole.
As officers closed in, Silva
charged Deputy Thomas
Houchins with a knife, shout
ing, "I won't be taken alive
. . ! I'll take one of you with
me."
Houchins fired three shots
vfrom his revolver and anoth
er deputy blasted Silva twice
with a shotgun at point-blank
range.
Officers said Silva ap
parently had gone beserk be
cause Peters had earlier com
plained about him carrying
a rifle in his yard.

Sends Hard Freeze
Into Southland
By UNITED PRESS
A cold air mass surged into
the Southeast today, bringing
a hard freeze as far south as
Atlanta, Ga., and chilling res
idents of Northern Florida.
In the midlands, many resi
dents spent the first day of
the New Year Wednesday dig
ging out of a snowstorm that
dumped 3 to 18 incnes oi
snow across the Central
States.
The advancing cold air sys
tem sent readings plunging as
much as 20 degrees from the
Ohio Valley to the Southeast.
Atlanta, Ga., reported an
early low of 26, as compared
with New York's 37.
