Under the terms of the bill, the

parked in a restricted area. The
owner could only recover his car
by posting collateral and going to
the pound, where the car would be
turned over to him.

GIRL FORFE|TS
HER BOND IN
COURT
Helen Griffin Said to Have
Kicked Through Windshield
and Thrown Glass.

Pretty twenty two-year-old Miss
Helen Griffin, said to have been a
former private branch exchange
dollars in Police Court today on a
charge of breaking glass in the pub
lie highway.
Therein lies a story.
Policeman H. E. Davis. of the
First police precinct, was gazing in
a shop window on F. street near
Fifteenth street northwest about 9
o'clock last night when it all hap.
pened. The voice of a woman
shreiking attracted his attention.
Davis turned around quickly and
here is what he says he saw:
Miss Griffin was climbing into a
Ford coupe in which sat young
man and a young woman. Appar-
emily her company was not desired,
for an instant later the other oc.
cupants of the car began to
scramble for air.
Then came crash. Davis said
1t looked like pretty Helen had
kicked her foot through the wind
shield. Nevertheless, something
happened, for the other girl got
out of the car and escaped.
Threw Glass, He Says.
The man, however, was too slow.
He had hardly gone a few feet
away from the car when Helen, so
Davis says, threw a piece Of glass
from the back window at him. She
missed, the man ducking just in
time. Then Miss Griffin got out
of the car and started crying.
Davis thinks she was historical.
All Of this happened before Davis
could reach the car. When he did,
Miss Griffin was bleeding. Her
hands, face and arms were badly
cut. Davis took her and the man
into custody. She was hurried off
to the Emergency Hospital and the
man to No. l police station.
At Emergency, the girl gave her
name as Mrs. H. Spencer, 2127 r
street northwest. At the first pre.
cinct, the man gave a different
name and address of the girl. He
said she was Helen Griffin, of 47cO
Eighth street northwest. He said
he was Roy Spencer, clerk,
twenty-five years old, of Takomc
Park. She was charged with break
ing glass and he was held for in.
vestigation.
Davis investigated and found out
the machine belonged to a rental
agency. Spencer agreed to pay for
the broken glass and further he put
up $40 as collateral for the, girl.
Spencer was released.
