The woman Is said to hail from Boston
but is stopping at the Sunnyside hotel In

According to Whitehead, he met the
woman last evening and hired a hack in
which 10 drive 10 the hotel. On the way
the two had a quarrel, which ended. she
says, in her being thrown through the
door OF the carriage 10 the ground.
Whitehead then sprang out OF the hack
and ran back on Hartford avenue 10
Olneyville square. followed by the driver.
whose attention had been attracted by the
sound OF the closing carriage door.
Seeing the PROSTATE form OF the woman
lying beside the road, the driver wheeled
his horse about and gace chase TO White
head. The latter had a good start, and
after reaching Olneyville square turned
up Westminster street. Just as he was
nearing Perry street, the driver saw Pa
trolman Campbell and shouted 10 him TO
stop Whitehead. Taking warning from
the shouts. Whitehead then turned In on
Hill street and then Off on Howard street.
There the officer lost track OF the fleeing
man. but finally found him hiding under
n flight OF steps in the rear OF a house on
Howard street. The officer took White
head TO a patrol box. and. having by this
time been informed by the hack driver
OF the incident on Hartford avenue. asked
the latter TO go and find tdhe woman and
TO bring her TO the Sixth station.
After the station officers had waited
reasonable time for the hack driver TO re-
turn, they became apprehensive that he
did not intend to do as he was bid, and
the patrol wagon with two officers was
sent up Hartford avenue. After a long
chase, the hack was seen In the distance,
making off rapidly toward the Johnston
line. Finally the policeman caught up
with the hack and the patrol wagon
was turned abruptly across the road. and
the hack stopped.
Upon the arrival OF the party at the
station, Whitehead avs locked up on
charge OF assault. although the wo-
man insisted on preferring a charge
OF assault and battery against him.
