JEALOUS man
RUNS A|NUCK

Charges of attempted murder
were preferred today against Lauf-
ence D. Pritchett. innkeeper at
Timonium, Nd, who yesterday ran
amuck at the Marlboro race track
shooting four times at the "other
man. discovered with his wife
who was watching the third race
of the afternoon.
Pritchett will be given a hearing
today in Upper Marlboro before
Justice H. W.: Gore.
Jealously is ascribed as the cause
of the shooting. He fired Tour
shots. all of them aimed, he testified
last night at preliminary hearing,
at e. Leonard Underback, race
track follower. Pritchett expressed
regret that he did not get" Under.
back declaring that the latter nad
been unduly attentive to mis- Wlle
for the last seven weeks.
Man Is Wounded
In the shooting Louis Hubbard,
coIored, residing at Third ana
Streets Northwest, was injured IN
the ankle when one OF the bullets
: Pritchett was on lower tier
when he saw his wife and Under-
hack in the top row Of the stand.
ascending the stand he began firing
through his overcoat, never taking
the nistoI from his pocket. The
coat l1uffled the sounds OF the
explosion of the cartridges and ne
fired two shots before any except
those nearest him realized what
was happening.
At the third shot someone shouted
that q maniac was shooting up the
stand. In an instant the crowd
was In wild confusion. Mrs.
Pritchett tainted, women and chll-
! Iren Ieaped from the ends OF the
stand. Scores fought to get down
from the upper tiers. While men
below surged forward to seize
Pritchett. In the struggling mass
women tainted, were scratched ana
bruised and children were trampled.
Shots Went Wild
All of Pritchett's shots went wild
except one. This struck Hubbard
in the ankle. AS Pritch'ett fired the
fourth shot he was seized by
Joseph r. Dougherty, a private de.
tective Of Baltimore. and Joel
Davis, Of Washington. They were
joined by deputy sheriff of Priuc9
Georges county.
An angry crowd soon surrounded
the men and their prisoner, and for
a time violence was feared. Pritchett
was hustled through the crowd and
started for the county Jail. The
crowd attempted to follow the OF.
ficers and Pritchett through the
gate OF the race track, but special
officers hung a. heavy chain across
the entrance and barred the crowd s
further progress.
