CRAZED WAR VETERAN KILLS | RED CROSS GIRL Plunges Knife in Back of Woman’s Neck Before Hundreds of Persons. Bn Vvited Frcxx SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.—A shell-shocked war veteran faced arraignment today for killing Miss Eggie Ashmun, executive secretary of the American Red Cross here. While hundreds were passing in aqd out of the radio show at the auditorium. Monday, David Lizarraga, 35, plunged a knife into the back of Miss Ashmun’s neck. Lizzaraga ran away but was captured after a short chase. Miss Ashmun was talking to Paul Palasky, a friend, w r hen Lizzarraga asked for money. Miss Ashmun*told him to go to her office later and he pulled out a knife and stabbed her. ‘‘Help, help! Someone help me,” she shrieked. Scores of witnesses rushed around her. She was placed in a truck and taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. It was reported that Lizzarraga had acted strangely on several of his visits to the Red Cross office to receive remittances. He was obsessed with the idea that he was being “robbed,” and apparently it was for the money that he thought had been kept from him that he attacked Miss Ashmun. When captured, Lizzarraga, in a frenzied state, shouted, according to police: “Yes, I stabbed her. I went oH my head.” He explained to the police that he got SIOO a month allowance from the government, which he collected through the Red Crass office. The money was compensation for injuries he received during the war as an aviator. Faces Blind Tiger Charges Carmen Delatore. 71, of 561 Lord street, faced two blind tiger charges today after police are said to have found liquor in his house when they visited it Monday night to serve a warrant charging liquor sale.

isn’t afraid of that. I could see that these great dogs love to please their master and friend because they go through their tricks with ease and a smile. Here is a dog act that is different. There is history and accomplishment back of this man and his dogs. The children will love this act. They should see it. It is seldom that every act on a vaudeville show' pleases me. I doubt if that has happened more than once in ten years, but this week's bill at the Lyric has a winner in every act. The Four Covans are colored dancers. And are they hot? There individual and ensemble work is perfection. They. I am told, are the colored dancers in “On With the Show.” now at the Apollo. Great work. The Texas Comedy Four is a singing quartet, They know how to pick numbers, they know how to project comedy and above all their routine has speed and satisfying results. They come darn near stopping the show' cold. The movie is Audrey Ferris and William Collier Jr. in “Bew'are of Bachelors.” Now' at the Lyric. a a tt Other theaters today offer: “Hard to Get” at the Indiana. “Smiling Irish Eyes” at the Circle, “The Single Standard” at the Palace, “Noah’s Ark” at the Ohio, “On With the Show” at the Apollo, and “Hollywood Scandals” at the Colonial.
