When 1t became known in Curtis Bay
that Donaldson had surrendered the news

by Patrolman Cook, arrived at the station
with the prisoner, the streets were lined with

with the prisoner, called out words OF en-
enlargement and Donaldson raised his
hat and bowed In response. During the
DAY number OF women and girls called 70

send him flowers.
Donaldson gave a vivid description OF
how he managed to escape from the marshes
and eventually reach a place Of safety.
He said that it was not his intention to
escape and that he would have given him.

Donaldson's mother saw a burlesque

to give a letter from Donaldson, telling how
he had tried to catch up with the county
policemen without success. She took 1t
seriously and spent yesterday morning

punched one another, while their wives
pulled hair and called one another names.
The fighters were surrounded by mob
OF a thousand persons, who were at the
trolley station waiting for cars. The police
broke through the crowd and arrested
Edward j, Geise, a plumber, OF 3ls East
Eighty-flfth street, and two other men,
who said that they were Max Schlessinger
contractor, of 1856 Park. avenue, and
Abram Fox. produce merchant, Of 200
East Seventy-eighth street. The prisoners
were charged with disorderly conduct and
assault.
Geise says that he and his wife and sister
in-law had just arrived on Mount Vernon
car and were getting of to change for New
Rochelle when Schlessinger. and Fox, with
their wives, jumped into the car and at
so they caught Mrs. Geise and her sister
between the seats and nearly squeezed
the breath out Of them.
In the excitement the men mixed up in
a fight and the women screamed. Mrs:
Geise says that one OF the women called
her Sbum" and pulled her hair. Fox
and Schlessinger say that Geise struck
the first blow and started the trouble.
The prisoners deposited S25 each to assure
their appearance in court tomorrow and
were released.
Nearly every Sunday. night there are
similar fights among the New Workers
who come to Mount Vernon and New
Rochelle on trolley rides and are unable to
obtain seats.
