QUARTET OF PROMINENT
DETROITERS IN MACHINE
Escapade Result Of Drunken
Wager That They Would
Not Be Molested

With the arrest OF three boys charg.
ed with stealing the auto of G. L. Pc
terson, of No. 1927 Lincoin-ave., on
three different occasions, Detective
Lucius Parker believed he had solved
the mystery of the wild midnight ride
taken by four Joy riders" on Sept.
II, when an auto sped through Detroit
at 50-mile clip, the occupants ex-
changing shots with police who were
watching for some Ohio auto bandits.
Detective Parker has. been working
for some time on information that the
boys who stole Peterson's machine
we're the ones who INDUCED In the
sensational Joy ride" Meantime. he
had heard another rumor that four
prominent Detroiters, we'll known for
their love Of the bright lights, had
been In the machine. But he passed
up" that tip, and decided to run down
the clue regarding the boys. He II
now convinced that the boys we're not
the ones in the shooting car" They
were at home before midnight on the
night Of the episode.
The story that Parker now believes
ID an explanation for the wild ride 10
to the effect that the four FOUNDERS"
were In q Woodward-ave. hotel, and
when flushed with drink, got into an
argument over the speeding question.
One offered to bet that after midnight
q speeding auto could whixz through
the city's main streets, from the west
to the east boundary, at 80 or 80
miles an hour. and never be hailed by
q policeman.
Others disagreed, and, It 10 said,
the betting went on until shout $1,000
was wagered. Then the four got into
q big auto. drove to the western lin.
its, and started the test.
It happened that police had been
notified to look out for some auto
bandits from Ohio. Ofhcers Mad been
stationed along the supposed route.
When the Detroit party whissed
through, police jumped from corners
with great rapidity. Some fired at
the Tying auto. The FOUNDERS" en-
tered right into the sport" and fired
back.
That's the story Detective Parker
says 10 the real version OF the esca.
pade. He does not say whether any
arrests will be made.
Meanwhile. Lester Mc0linnan. IL

charged with completely In the thefts
