New ROCHELLE, N. Y. July As the
result OF trying to stop a big automobile
which it ia alleged was travelling forty
five miles an hour along the Shore road
in Pelham Manor this morning Policeman
William Callahan was run down and is in
a dying condition in the New Rochelle
Hospital. His skull and both shoulders
were fractured, his nose was broken and
his body bruised.
For some time the Pelham Manor police
nave been conducting a crusade against
a~utomobilists who exceed the speed limit
and a trap was laid for them on the Shore
road near the entrance 20 the summer
home. OF the New York Athletic Club on
Travers Island. The police have had the
habit Of suddenly jumping out from behind
trees and ordering the motor car drivers
who were travelling at a rapid rate TO stop
and then arresting them. There has been
much complaining among automobiles
because OF this.
According TO the police record Policeman
Callahan was spying on automobilists on
the Shore road from behind a big oak
tree this morning when a car said To be
the property of William II. McCord of
Greenwich, Conn, and who with Peter j.
q OF IarchmOnt was in II. came bowling
along. Callahan ran into the middle Of
the n intending Ia snip il, but he was
struck by tho auto and thrown into n ditch.
The machine sped on. but was stopped
M the entrance Of the New York Athletic
club by Policeman Martin Conlon.
The occupants of the car were taken
before Judge Edgar Bancroft, who released
them In 5000 bail pending the result of
Galatians injuries. The a~utomobilists de-
clared that they had no intention OF running
down Policeman Callahan and that when
Conlon ordered them 10 stop they ditcbed
their machine and both were thrown down
an embankment.
NoCord and Kane are members Of the
New York ATHLETIC Club and several yacht
clubs along the Sound.
