county on the list for clemency, in
cluding James H. Darby, negro, SEN

the latter took both girIstto tho Fourth
Precinct Police Station, where they
told Desk Sergeant Suchard thrilling
tale. Later Captain Vogel put the two
runaways under a severe test and
threatened to lock both in a cell il
they wouldn't tell the truth, and they
finally admitted that the hold-up story
was untrue.
The girls appeared in the station
house at 6:20 O'Clock, and at 10 o'clock
after word had been sent to Jersey
CITY, Felix Bokien, father of the eldest
girl. appeared and took both runaways
back home.

were forciBly dragged into an auto
mobile painted red and bearing the
license number 1911. at Central and
Beacon avenues, Jersey city, and
forced to keep quiet at the point of a
automobile broke all speed records over
the turnpike, and the first opportunity
afforded them to escape was when the
car stopped In Bank street, near Broad
street, Newark, and the two men went
into a saloon to get drink. The
hockey players then made their es-
cape and went to the Lille street adj
dress.
Captain Vogel doubted the girls
story from the start. and he was un-
able to understand where there was
saloon i'm Bank street near Broad; in
fact. the entire block is taken up by the
Prudential property
Before the girls left they we're
warned against coming to this city with
another fairy tale. IF you ever come

 We were being carried into the moun- tains of West Virginia at a rapid rate. We realized that if we got back into the mountains very far we would be unable to participate in the St. Louis races. and this thought worried us not a little.
