Mad Chase On Turnpike Ends When
Fugitive Jumps Out, Leaving vehi-

An exciting chase along the turn
pike about midnight last night, the
wrecking of booze car when 1t col
lided with telegraph pole on Ber-
lin street, the escape of the driver
and the conf1scation by the state po-
lice of 100 quarts of whiskey, are the
high spots in one of the most spec
tacular captures that have been made
on the pike in some time.
State Policemen Smith and Mac
Kesson were riding along the pike
below Berlin near Meriden. They
were stirred into action by a touring
car which swept past them at high
rate of speed. Both officers gave
chase, apparently thinking the driver
was merely speedily.
Realizing that he was pursued he
increased his speed until the accel-
orator was down to the floor of the
car. The state officers on their high
powered motorcycles, rapidly over
took him.
As the three vehicles roared into
Berlin and reached the end of the
Berlin trolley car line, the fugitive
was seen to jump from his car and
turning, made off through the fields
on the east side of the road near Mr..
Shjeridan's home. The car crashed
