BY United Press.

by United Press.
st. John, N. b., Sept 10.-Garbed
as railroad laborer and answering
the description of murderer, Ed
ward Lewis, movie actor, recently
had a thrilling experience.
Lewis was taking the role of a
navy. He was dressed in khaki pants,
blue coat and soft hat His hair is
jet black and he is dark complexion-
ed. He looks like an Italian laborer
in his costume. Lewis was on loca-
tion near here with company of
players filming scenario for a
Canadian motion picture compny.
He had been imported from New
York City
Lewis separated at noon from the
balance of the group and started to
walk along the railroad tracks where
the scenes were being filmed, pick
ing berries He had walked about a
half mile when he saw three men
running toward him. Thinking they
intended to assault him, he fled into
the woods. The trio chased him, and
after pursuit of about three miles
they captured him. He was taken
despite his protests, to the police
station, and lodged in cell. In the
evening, the manager of the COM
pany came at his summons to the
police station and formally identi-
fled him. as member of his com.
pany.
Lewis had been arrested as a
murder suspect. The man who en-
ticed little, nine-year-old Sadie Nc
Auley from st. John on the pretense
of picking berries was described as
dark complexioned, with jet-black
hair and wearing khaki pants, blue
coat and an old soft hat. Lewis an
swered this description to the let
ter. Lewis said he feared lynching
if he had been in custody much
longer, as feeling was intense.
The murderer of the McAuley
child is still at large. The body was
found seven days after the dsap-
pearance of the girl. 1t had been
placed under a rock.
