HIDES UNDER BED
FROM POLICEMAN
Intoxicated Woman, Aged so.
Gives officer Merry Chase
for Several Minutes.

A druhken woman who has been on
a protracted spree for the past four
weeks, according to the authorities,
gave Officer Mccarthy a merry chase
yesterday afternoon when he visited
the house located on Ninth street be-
tween Sixth and Seventh avenues, to
make the arrest. The woman is 80
years of age, but with plenty of third
rail- in her stomach she was as spry
as a maid of sweet 16. After a mer
ry chase around the house, the woman
finally crawled under the bed and the
officers was forced to reach under the
springs and drag the kicking and
struggling prisoner out.
This morning when taken into po-
ice court the woman was on the verge
of the delirium tremens and was trem-
bling so she could scarcely stand. She
is the mother of two children, but her
love for strong drink has led to her
