Fracture and Other Injuries
From Collision.

Motor Cycle Policeman James F.
Murphy, 20 years old, of the four
tenth precinct, was critically injured
early this morning when, while chasing
speeder, his machine crashed into an
automobile at Connecticut avenue and
Porter street. He was taken to Emer-

ing from a fractured skull, numerous
cuts and bruises.
Murphy was in pursuit of a high
powered sedan that was speeding south
on Connecticut avenue and thought to
have been going at least 60 miles an
hour, his superiors were told. At the
intersection of Porter street an auto
mobile operated by Joseph A. Brown,
56l2 Sixteenth street, an official of the
Black & White Taxicab Co., pulled into
Connecticut avenue.
Unable to sWerve around him, Murphy
crashed into Browns machine, the force
of the impact throwing him many feet
in the air. Brown picked Murphy up
and rushed him to the hospital and
reported the case. The car chased by
Murphy continued toward the city and
at Connecticut avenue and Calvert
street Policeman j. w. Carroll gave
pursuit in a small car. He was so
badly outdistanced that the large car
was out of sight before he could get
across the Connecticut Avenue Bridge.
