Go Without a Murmur.'
Associated Pres. to 'yhe Evening r,m-..

As"oria'ed Pres. to 'vhe Evening Tin-..
New York. Oct. 22.-"There's the
wretch: Go after him."
With that exclamation from an an
CRY wife. who was in one automobile,
while her husband was in another.
there began a remarkable chase of
the second machine by the first.
Starting from Belmont Park. the
two automobiles sped away. They
lodged in and out among other vehi-
cles, up hill and down dale. now
through narrow lanes, again through
busy settlements, with other automo-
biles breaking here and there into the
chase until it found melodranlatic
climax at the Long Island City ferry.
On the ferryboat was the fleeing ma
chine. The other second too late,
but one of its occupants, Court Officer
Glennon. had jumped from it. and,
with flying leap across the water he
gained the ferryboat and served court
papers from which the husband in the
first automobile had been fleeing.
Mrs. Lulu Eshner was the young
woman who instigated the chase. Her
husband is Frank Eshner, bookmak-
er. Last August the wife swore out
warrant charging him with threat
ening to abduct their twelve-year-old
daughter. Vera. He was making
book at Saratoga at the time. and her
effort to serve him at the other tracks
since his return proved unavailing.
Finally she learned that he had an
agent doing his work for him while
he himself was merely a spectator of
the races.
With Officer Glennon of the West
Side court. she went in her automo-
bile to the track and waited outside
for the races to be over Eshner saw
his wife as quickly as she saw him.
and instantly gave command to his
chaffeur and the thrilling flight and
pursuit was on. Through the town of
Queens the two cars tore into Jamai-
ca, scores of other automobiles were
bound away from the races. The
lamps of several were smashed to
smithereens.
In Jamaica's crowded streets peo-
pie scrambled to get out of the way,
and Eshner's car. in making a sud-
den turn to the right narrowly missed
a group of children. Up and down the
many treacherous little hills that lead
to Flushing 1t sped, leaving trail or
dust that choked and whitened the
pursuers right behind. On Broadway,
Flushing, policemen tried to bring the
speeders to a standstill
The chase then struck the route
to College point, Eshner apparently
heading for the Ninety-nint street
ferry.
Back toward Flushing, however, his
machine suddenly turned, a good lead
that it hail gained being quickly lost
The two cars Numbered across
wooden bridge over Flushing creek
with such speed and force as to al
most tear the flooring planks asunder
! They sandwiched trolley car, each
missing 1t by few inches as one
crossed it In front and the other be-
mind 1t, each dashing diagonally
across the tracks.
| The second machine was invisible
IN the cloud Of dust raised by the first
as they swung along the farmers
road through Carona. Through Elm
hurst they went, leaving a swarm of
lmprecations from the drivers of farm
wagons, and reached the Bushwick
turnpike.
The two automobiles then switched
into Borden street for the straight
dash through Long Island CITY to the
Terry Other automobiles, bicycles
and men and boys on foot started in
pursuit along that thoroughfare.
AS the first car reached the ferry
landing the mob swarmed around the
one behind. Glennon fought his way
through fists and clubs to the edge OF
the pier and sprang twelve feet across
the water to the edge of the OUTGOING
boat He touched Eshner on the
shoulder and served the papers.
All right" was the prisoners com.
ment. IN go with you without a
whimper." He was taken to the West
Forty-seventh street station and lock.
