DRIVER ESCAPE E S
First Thought Thief Had Gone 10 His
Death in Machine-Run Dragged
Without Success

After dragging the Four-mile run
| from ! o'clock this morning until 8
o'clock this afternoon in search for
the body of "a man supposed to have
been drowned last night in the run
when a big touring car stolen from
Washington toppled into the run the
harbor police boat crew reported they
were unable to find any trace of the
body.
The Washington police this after
i aoon stated to representative CT the
Gazette that they felt confident that
the driver of the machine did not lose
his life when the machine left the
road. They will now use their efforts
to find the thief.
The first report of car being in
the run was received by the police of
this city and Sergt. w. J. Wilkinson
accompanied by number of members
of the force motored out to the run.
The message was received from Will
liam Shively, yardman employed at
the Potomac yards.
The sergeant obtained thesnumbcr

ter addressed to Dunton, the owner.
He communicated with the Washing
ton authorities at once and they had
a report that the car was stolen from
in front of the Cosmos theatre about
between 10 and II o'clock last night.
Later the sergeant returned to-
Alexandria and accompanied by the
owners of the Central Garage and
others a party was formed and the
machine removed from the water.
Those present felt confident that
the driver of the machine was beneath
it. This, however, proved Incorrect.
When the machine was raised its
lights were burning and its motor
running.
Soon afterward the harbor police
boat came down and the run was drag
ged until 8 o'clock this morning and
then discontinued and resumed again
abcut 7 o'clock without success.
The machine today was restored to
Mr.. Dunton considerably damaged.
The automobile at the time was
speeding toward Alexandria and it is
believed by automobilists that it must
have been going either thirty five or
forty miles an hour when it plunged
over the culvert a distance of about
fifteen feet into ten feet Of water at
that point.
The opinion prevails that the driver
