RUNNING HIS AUTO
At VERY HIGH SPEED
Officers Declare Mr.. Whitlock
Was Going Over Forty Miles
An Hour.
SOME MISTAKE, HE SAYS
Asserts That He Was Not Going
Fast and Thinks Officers
Got Wrong Man.
SOME MISTAKE, HE SAYS

Three bicycle policemen testified in
Police Court Tuesday that automobile
No. S178, owned and operated by Mr..
Charles f. WhitiocK, ran at speed
greater than forty miles an hour Mon
day afternoon. and that it was abso-
Iutely impossible for either of them
to keep up with the machine from
Monument avenue down through
Franklin street.
Justice Crutchfeld accepted their
statement and imposed "a the of $50
upon Mr.. Whitlock, who Is a promi-
nent clubman and one of the young
social leaders of the city. An appeal
was Immediately taken, Alderman t.
H. Elicit becoming surety for Mr..
Whitlock in the sum of 500.
OfI1cer Palmer testified that ne
rode his bicycle at a rate exceeding
twenty-five miles an hour and that
he was outdistanced by the auto, 81
am prepared to swear that the ma
chine WAS making more than forty
miles an hour" testified Officer Pal
mer. Yes" he continued. II will go
further and swear here and now that
the auto was running at rate equal
Ing 65 miles an hour. ] never saw Il
machine going much faster on any
track"
Patrolmen Thurman and Clark tes-
tilted to the same facts, and the fine
was the result. Mr.. Whitlock had no
witnesses. but contended that some
mistake was evidently made, for he
was positive he was running his car
very slowly at the time he was re-
ported for "soorchtng" He will base
his appeal upon the question as to
whether or not the officers could not

number, Notwithstanding that all
three bluecoats positively identified
him and caught the number of the
machine.
