then robbed him of sos in bills.
After the assault, Frost is said to

Cartner agreed and they started
in Frost's automobile. When they
passed the station house, however,
Cartner objected and said that he
had decided to take the collector
to Emergency Hospital.
Becoming still more suspicious,
Cartner attempted to. jump from
the moving machine and says
Frost struck him again with the

gave up the chase and escaped.
At the hospital Cartner was found
to have a severely lacerated scalp
and possibly a skull fracture.
An organized search by Third
precinct police and Headquarters
detectives had failed to reveal any
trace as to Frost's whereabouts to-
day.
