Man Held in Slaying
Of Soft Drink Official
Waives Jury Trial
By th« Associated Press
FREDERICKSBURG, Va„ Sept.
10.—William Francis Harvey, 23
year-old ex-serviceman, has waived
jury trial and may throw himself
on the mercy of the court when his
trial on a charge of murder in the
highway slaying of a Leesburg Coca
Cola plant executive comes up to
morrow in Spotsylvania County Cir
cuit Court.
Harvey, who. police say, admitted
in a signed statement that he killed
O. J. Beckerman. 50, after the soft
drink man. on his way home from
a meeting in Richmond, had given
him a ride, is now in the Fredericks
burg Jail.
Defense Attorney Francis B.
Gouldman, appointed by Judge Leon
M. Bazile to defend the veteran, said
Harvey had waived trial by jury.
Spotsylvania Commonwealth's At
torney T. Stokeley Coleman refused
to say whether he will seek a death
sentence in the case.
Harvey, whose home is In Syra
cuse, N. Y., has made no request
for bond since his capture in Phila
delphia June 18. During his time
in jail here he has been the official
ward of City Sergt. L. E. Chittum.
who, as a State police sergeant, is
credited with uncovering one of the
principal clues which led to the ar
rest—the serial number of Becker
man's watch which was found in a
Philadelphia pawn shop.
The arrest of Harvey ended a
search of nearly three months after
the body of Mr. Beckerman—stabbed
twice and robbed of $70 and a gold
pocket watch—was found in Spotsyl
vania woodland by some children.
Mr. Beckerman's automobile, also
stolen, was not found until a short
time before Harvey’s arrest.
Harvey told officers he accidentally
stabbed Beckerman. who had given
him a ride, when he fell forward
while showing the older man a
souvenir war knife, and that he
then became excited and plunged
the knife into Mr. Beckerman's body
again.
Camera Theft Suspect
Held for Grand Jury
Melvin T. Salter, 50. of the 1200
block of E street N.W.. was ordered
held for grand jury action on a
housebreaking charge yesterday
after police reported he was trapped
inside a camera shop Sunday by a
“silent"’ burglar alarm which rings
only at police headquarters.
Judge George D. Neilson in Muni
cipal Court set bond at $1,000 for
Salter, who was accused of taking
three speed graphic cameras valued
at $173 each and three prism lenses
valued at $41 each belonging to the
Parker-Whelen Co., Inc., 827 Pour
tenth street N.W.
Also ordered held for the grand
jury in $1,000 bond was Thomas Wal
lace. 37, colored, charged with arson
for allegedly attempting to set fire to
an apartment house in the 2400 block
of Twentieth street N.W. after an
argument over a penny in a poker
game Saturday night.
Wallace, who occupies the janitor’s
quarters at the address, threw a
gallon of cleaning fluid on the floor
and lit it, police said. The fire,
which endangered an estimated 200
tenants, was extinguished by fire
men before much damage was done,
it was said.

union Kefuses to Permit
Mission Ship to Sail
By the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.—
Four hundred Protestant mis
sionaries scheduled to sail tomor
row for China and the Philippines
found themselves facing an indefi
nite stay in San Francisco today
because of the AFL's strike against
ocean-going shipping.
The strike committee of the
Sailors Union of the Pacific con
siders the American President Line's
Marine Lynx—chartered exclusively
for the missionaries and their sup
plies as a passenger vessel—and
cannot permit it to sail, Arthur
Burke, a member of the committee
announced.
This group, probably the largest
number of missionaries to sail over
seas together, is the first large-scale
exodus of Protestant missionaries
to the Orient since the war with
Japan ended. Their voyage is spon
sored by the Foreign Mission Con
ference of North America, which
embraces 12 organized agencies in
the United States and Canada and
represents virtually all Protestant
denominations.

'Toby' Returns Home;
Father to Prosecute
Maid 'to the Limit'
By Aisoctotod Preii
KANSAS CITY. Sept. 10.—Friend
ly 3-year-old Madeline (Toby*
Tobias is home today, extremely
tired and covered with Insect bites
but otherwise none the worse for
her exciting experience with a hitch
hiking maid, who disappeared with
her five days ago.
A rousing welcome awaited curlv
halred, brown-eyed Toby on her ar
rival here last night In a chartered
plane with her parents, Mr. and Mrs
Philip Tobias, to whom she had been
returned earlier in the day at Terre
Haute. Ind., where police found her
in a humble home awaiting adop
tion.
The maid. Mildred Louise Everett.
22, was held by the FBI at Terre
Haute. She was picked up there
soon after Madeline was found. A
kidnaping charge here awaits the
former inmate of the Ohio Girls’
Industrial School, who told Terre
Haute police she loved the little girl
and wanted her for her own.
Will Prosecute “to Limit."
Toby’s father, an overseas veteran
and now a salesman for a small loan
company, said he would prosecute
"to the limit” the maid, who dis
appeared with the Tobias' only child
three days after he had picked her
up on a street as a hitch-hiker and
hired her as a housekeeper because
his wife was ill.
Toby was too tired to take in
much of the party at her modest
home, celebrating her return. Her
mother bathed her and treated her
numerous chigger and mosquito
bites before putting her to bed.
A few minutes later Toby was
asleep. Her 24-year-old mother said
she had been too tired to say her
usual prayers.
Offered for Adoption.
Toby's recovery came on a tip to
Terre Haute police from a foundry
worker. Omer Kunkhouser, who said
the hitch-hiking maid had agreed
to turn the child over to him and
his wife for adoption. He recog
nized the child as the missing Toby
through a newspaper picture.
Robert Vance, chief of detectives
at Terre Haute, pieced together
this story:
The maid hitchhiked with the
child to Terre Haute, arriving there
Friday with 15 cents. They went
to the Goodwill Industries where
the maid obtained employment as
I a housekeeper in the home of Ben
; Bailey, father of seven children
whose mother left home several
1 weeks ago.
Funkhouser. visiting his mother
next door to the Bailey home, saw
Toby and when he admired her the
maid, posing as her mother, offered
her for adoption.
