REAL ESTATE DEALER

HELP VICTIM
After Severely lnJuring Workingman,
John Clayton Proceeds on His

Arrest

Frederick Johnson, laborer living
at 6351a New High street, was struck
and knocked down by an automobile
driven by John Clayton, a real estate
dealer, living at 215 West Avenue Fiji
ty-five, at Ord and New High streets
last night and painfully injured.
Johnson was crossing the street in
the direction of his home when the
automobile with Clayton at the wheel
swung around the corner at high rate
of speed. Before Johnson could get
out of the way he was struck and
thrown to the pavement.
Clayton, who was accompanied by
Thomas Hampson of 1899 Maple avenue,
continued on his way without stop
ping to see how severely Johnson was
injured.

automobile until Patrolman R. II. Scho-
field was passed and the policeman
was informed of the accident. He fol-
lowed Clayton and arrested him at
Second street and Broadway, lodging
him in the central station.
Johnson was taken to the receiving
hospital, where it was found that he
was suffering from severe contusions
and abrasions of the body and a
wrenched ankle.
