Amelia turned on him with look

Vernon had no answer for her.

Two motorcycle patrolmen from the

seemed 10 enjoy the wild ride.
That was the story told by the ia
maica men. which. if true, means that
Brown drove his car at the rate of forty
miles an hour through Long Island city
and across the Greensboro Bridge.
Brown was first taken To the West

he is locked up on the charges of going

TO their commands to stop. they faced
about and began the pursuit. Both men
said they pushed their machines TO the
limit, which is supposed to be sixty
miles an hour. but were unable To catch
the flying automobile.
Mesle and Van Giles soon reached the
boundary line OF their precinct. but on
they sped, determined not to let the dar-
ing chauffeur get away If they could
prevent his escape. Through the streets
