any man walking along the ROAD, anu
that he did not see his car strike any
one. The first thing he knew, he said,
was after he had gone past the curve
where the car-track crosses the road,
he heard his sister-in-law call out,
stop! There is man lying in the
road"
Scout On the Scene.
KamilIi came to a halt with his
grey scar, and it was the last stop he
made for he was kept there until the
arrival of Captain Clausen and Lieut..
Rock who brought him down to the
police office. He was locked up while
the Investigation continued.
Meanwhile Leon Marion had anoth-
er story to tell OF what happened.
With his arm full of violets which
he had gathered for his mother, he
was on his way home going south. He
saw man walking on the road and
presently Struck by car and and the
car going forward without stopping.
Leon used his head and his feet too
in the emergency.
He FASTENED forward, hailed anoth-
er car which was coming along and
babe the driver "Stop that car ahead"
He took the license number of the
car which, was moving and ran to the
assistance of the injured man lying in
the road. Blood was streaming from
behind the ear, and the plucky scout
whipped out his handkerchief and
sought to stanch the wound. He turn
ed the man over on his side and hail
ed the next car, with two men in it
from Waukegan who came. to his as
sistance. DR.. McCluskey out driving
in his car CHANGED to pass moment
later, and with his help and that of
the two young men the body was re-
moved to St. GATHERINGS hospital and
taken to the operating room. There
was nothing to indicate what the in
jured man was; he carried card in
his pocket with the address of George
Wade, contractor, but that was all.
Later DR.. McCluskey himself identi-
fed the man as John Putt, remem-
bering that he had attended his wife
prior to her death a short time ago.
Elmer Johnson, 467 North Chicago
street, was the man whom the scout
had appealed to to "Stop that car"
Johnson proved true big scout, as
Leon learned when the sufferer was
removed and he too returned his at
tention to the big grey Standard eight,
for Johnson was holding Kamili,. the
latter insisting, however, that he had
done nothing and did not intend to
run away. Neither Leon nor john
son left the spot until they were join
ed later by the police.
The police received their call at 1:05
from st. GATHERINGS hospital, asking
them to come there at once. Captain
Clausen and Lieut.. Rock responded,
driving at once into the hospital
grounds and seeing no crowd without
or signs of a collision.
Putt, his name at the time unknown
was lying in the operating room,
where the Sister in charge gave the
police the slender particulars as she
knew them. She gave the license num-
Der of the car which had been turned
in to her by the Waukegan youths
who brought the victim in. 1t was
believed that the driver had gotten
away Lieut.. Rock telephoned Ser
geant Schneeberger to notify Racine
and Milwaukee to halt the car of that
number if it came through.
1T seems strange, said Captain
C1ausen, shat with all this traffic on
the road, nobody halted that driver
They hurried forward going north
from the hospital and presently with
in another minute found that someone
had halted the driver. Kamilli was
there, beyond the curve, and so was
his grey car; and Leon and Johnson
we're on guard.
/ The shefiff's office was notified but
the wrong directions given, and Depu-
ty Sheriff Nick Otto, on information
that an accident had occurred at the
Pike Greek bridge, chad been sent
astray. He arrived at the scene Of
the real accident just after the police
had come.
