Tree in Rockville Succeeds
in Eluding Police.

montgomery county, Md, authorities
and the city police have not succeeded in
orertaking the auto bandit who tied PAU
g Hipsley. 1874 F street southeast. to a
tree In Rockville late Saturday night, rob-
bed him and drove away in his automo-
bile It is regarded as reasonably certain
that the bandit came to this city yester-
day morning. following an exciting pur-
suit through the snow.
A man whose trousers were torn ana
whose shoes were almost dropping from
his feet. it was learned, yesterday morn
ing appeared at the store OF ROBERT
Pumrhrey, Germantown. and purchased
pair of tan shoes and gray trousers he
bought a railroad ticket emitting him. to
a ride to this city. but the police have
not determined whether he came all the
way to Union station or left the train
at a suburban station.
Pursuit of Bandit Begins.
Following the release of Hinsiey from
his bonds. he was taken in an automobile
and started in pursuit of the bandit. The
automobile the freebooter had taken was
found near Middlebrook nine miles from
S''o---N
was running suggested the probability of
its having been abandoned only when its
occupant realized he was being pursued
The several persons who participated
in the man hunt heard noise in
wooded spot not far from Middlebrook
They thought the noise was made by
the fleeing robber, they stated, and fired
in the direction of the sound No
wounded man was later discovered
however. and the searchers concluded
their bullets had failed to strike the
man if he really was in that vicinity.
Inspector Grants Theory.
Inspector Clifford L. Grant, chief of
detectives. this morning suggested that
the bandit might have had companion
who waited for him to return to this
city. The details of the affair. he stated,
are similar to one that occurred in
Chester, Pa. several days ago. Two men
figured in that hold-up, he stated, and
both managed to escape arrest Owners
of automobiles that are employed in
a hacking business in this city have
been warned by the police to be on the
alert for the bandit.
