SOLDIER CONVICT
FLEES; SHOTS FLY
Guard Recaptures Military Pris-
0ner After Chase in
Touring Car

An exciting chase after an escaped
military convict occurred near the First
avenue gate to the Presidio yesterday
afternoon, when ]. Fitzallen attempted
TO make his getaway from an armed
soldier. The chase lasted for over a
dozen blocks and the sentry was COM
PEELED to fire several shots at the
prisoner before he was brought to bay.
Fitzallen. who is awaiting the find
ings of a general court martial, and
who has twice deserted from the army,
has been employed about the reserva-
ton as a rag and paper picker. AS is
the custom an armed guard marches
several feet in the rear of the prisoner
while he is doing his work to stop him
if he should make an attempt to escape.
Yesterday the convict was placed
under the custody of Private r. B.
Bradley of the Thirtieth infantry and
was given employment near the First
avenue entrance. Late in the after
noon the prisoner was working along
the road at the Preside wall and near
the gate. Suddenly he darted around
tie corner of the tall wall and ran
down First avenue.
Bradley quickly gave chase and fired
several shots after the man, but none
took effect. Bradley then enlisted the
services of a private automobile and
gave chase. The convict finally was
overtaken and returned to the guard
house at the Preside.

The tires of tlse front wheels were
gone. as were other accessories. The
garage proprietor said the chauffeur
told him the machine was wrecked at
Fillmore while he and the woman were
in a restaurant. They had made the
trip from Fillmore, a distance OF so
miles. on the rims of the wheels.
While the doctor was viewing the
damaged car, Mrs. Meyers and the
chauffeur appeared on the scene. They
were greatly excited when they saw
Meyers, but were boldly defiant, and
when he started at them in a menacing
way the chauffeur flashed the gun.
In a voice. choking with sobs the dis
tracted husband then began to plead
with his wife. She would not listen and
curtly told him that shewas desperately
in love with the chauffeur, and that not
even the thought of her little baby
would make her turn back.
Doctor Meyers would not allow the
automobile to be taken from the garage.
He left for his home. and the chauffeur
and Mrs. Meyers took tonight's train
for San Francisco.

pretty wife and his chauffeur in this
city this morning. The couple had

chauffeur. The latter did not point the
gun at the man whose home he is al
legged to have attempted to destroy, but
simply exposed it to, view when he

he located the car. 1t presented a
sorry sight.
