 he was met by a party of men and women near the Stratford avenue 'bridge and they asked him to give them a lift home. He stopped his car and the party, numbering six, piled into the machine.
 Later Gardner said the hour was midnight and according to the police he changed the time again to 1 o'clock. Continuing he said he left one of the girls at Stratford avenue and Hewitt street and then proceeded along Connecticut avenue and Logan street to drop the other members of the party ot or near their homes.
 According to his stateent he was proceeding along Connecticut avenue, when one of the men in the party wanted to drive the car. Gardner re- fused to let him take the wheel and an argument followed. After some seconds of argument during which he tried to prevent the man from taking hold of the wheel and at the same time keep the car in the road, Gard ner claims the man struck him in the face with some object and that before he could recover himself the other members of the party jumped upon him and beat him into insensibility.
 Captain Cronan is of the opinion the victom Of the assault Is trying to con- ceal some facts in the case and his story of picking up the party on Stratford avenue is being inevistigated thoroughly. So far not even a vague description of any of the party has been obtained by the police, but they are working along the lines of finding where Gardner was during the earlier hours of the evening.
 The police are confident that when the entire matter is threshed out startling developments may be discov- cred. but. as the matter stands the af- fair is shrouded in mystery.

BridgepOrter Now
 Shows Patriotism

An unusual case of patriotism has come to the notice of Draft Board 3 this week. William T. Hinton, who was registered in the last draft ap- piled for aid in filling out his ques- tionnaire, and on the first page made no application from exemption al- though having a wife. On the second page the person helping him fill the questionnaire had evidently misun- derstood and asked for deferred clas- sification. AS soon as MT. Hinton noticed the error, he wrote his board that he had no intention of taking any steps to evade military service, that he was ready and willing to serve, and his wife would sign the necessary affidavit at any time.
