officer Beats Chauffeur
One of the boldest moves to escape
with a load of prisoners from the
clutches of the officers in the raid on
| the Manhattan hotel last night was
| that of T, r. Day, chauffeur, giving his
address as ga South Figueroa street.
According to the story of Patrolman q.
w. Erven, who was on guard outside
the hotel while the other officers were
raiding inside, Day drove up to the
side door in an automobile and stated
that he had orders to come there and
take passengers and that he intended to
carry out his orders. He was persuaded
not to try, drove away but returned
later. 1t was then ordered from police
headquarters that the inmates of the
Manhattan could be taken to police
headquarters, in autos If they pre-
ferred to ride in them rather than the
"hurry-up' wagon, provided an OFFICER
accompanied each auto.
Accordingly, four persons entered
the auto driven by Day. and PATROL
man Erven sat in the front seat with
the chauffeur AS the machine swung
into Third and Spring street the chauf-
feur swerved to the left, saying he was
going to take his passengers to Pico
street as ordered. Patrolman Eryen
felt different, and rough scramble
took place in the swiftly moving auto,
which resulted in the clothes of Day
being nearly torn from his body.
Seizes Steering Wheel
The patrolman during the struggle
grabbed the steering gear and swung
the machine straight for the sidewalk
The front wheels hit the curb with
sufficient force to jar the machine and
shake up the passengers.
At police headquarters Day entered
a protest and exhibited his torn cloth
ing. He got but little satisfaction, and
was reminded by Captain Dixon that
trying to escape with prisoners was not
to be tolerated. Day was not locked up,
but may be brought to court this morn
ing as a witness.
