IN SUBWAY CHASE
Dashes Into Tube, With Cop in
Pursuit, When Crowd Cries
Lynch Him.

It lacked three minutes of being 3
o'clock last night when Berry Wason,
a negro who has been employed for
three weeks as a bootblack at the
Olympia barber shop. 81 West Twenty
ninth street, looked at the clock and
said he was ready to go home. Arthur
Suydaurdes, a. a barber, who lives
at 2252 East Thirteenth street, Brook
lyn, pointed to a pile of hair under his
chair and said:
"You won't go home until you have
cleaned that up, and besides, It's not 8
o'clock yet.
The argument became hotter, last
ing until a few minutes after 8. when,
according to the story told later by the
bootblack, the barber made a rush
with an open razor.
Gimme razor and I'll show you
what I can do" said the negro. but as
there were no loose razors he picked
up a hammer and the two closed for
battle. Casualties were piling UP when
a crowd which had collected outside the
shop started yelling. Lynch him J"
Frightened at that, Wason bolted out
of the shop, through the crowd and
toward Broadway. AS he reached Broad
way and turned northward, with the
crowd following him. Patrolman Martin
saw him and Joined the chase. Looking
over his shoulder the negro saw the
policeman. This scared him more than
the razor had. and he dived into the
subway kiosk. The policeman thought
he had the capture as good as made
then. but the bootblack. instead OF stop
ping on the platform. as everybody ex-
pected him to do. jumped off on the
the roadbed and started north In the
darkness under Broadway.
Two trains came along, but the negro

across the tracks in time to avoid being
hit. About four blocks up the negro sur

West Thirtieth street station, charged
with felonious assault.

Bellevue and treated for cuts on the head
and hands. Wason told the police that
he had caused the cuts on the BARRIERS $
head, but said that the cuts on the hands
were due to his ignorance In the tech
