With TaCks

Interrupted while in the act
of binding and gagging a girl,
whom they held captive in an
automobile, and whose screams
were stifled by fingers which
clutched her windpipe, three
men escaped in their machine
from st. Michael's cemetery
with their prey at 1870 o'clock
last night.
The efforts of q pursuing au-
tomobile to effect the capture
and arrest Of the kidnappers
was foiled by the trio, who
scattered tacks in the road as
they fled east in the direction
of Milford, puncturing the tires
of the following automobile.
Capt E o. cronaa today began a
diliEent search for the machine and
its occupants and the entire police of
New England and New YORK; state

jitney driver, took a night on last
evening and with his fa1naly went for
q ride. He was returning from the
direction Of nTiRord when he dis
lcerned in the roadway outside the
cemetery a stalled aartomobife. APP
preaching closer he could see four
forms standing In the rear of the ma
chime and apparently struggling.
The jitneur increased the speed OF
his car and was soon opposite the
scene, stopping his machine In an en-
deavor to find out what the fight was
about He was startled to see girl,
clothing torn, and hatless, making
desperate efforts to free herself from
three men. all OF whom weren bare
headed
One OF the trio had the fingers cd
both hands encircnng the throat OF
the girl, successfully preventing her
from screaming and Link is Of the

held the girl in the bottom of tn,
machine the third 1eaped into tn
front seat and started in the direc
ton Of Milford. Link determined t
save the girl, kept closely in thei
rear The victim by this time ha,

from sheer exhaustion and one o
the two men in the rear proceeded t
i put Linfl out of the running.
Leaning over the back of the ma
4 chine he scattered tacks across tn
road from box which he had in hi
hand and which the police believ
were wilfully procured to preven

ductors but a short distance when tn
tacks punctured q tire and he wa
forced; to abandon the pursuit
