 The hold-up men, apparently fear ful that the occupants of the auto mobile had seen what was going on, ran for their sedan and drove off In the direction of Newington. Bow Ter, after recovering from the shock of his experience, drove west on the street and overlook Schrensky.
 In their report to Sergeant Flynn Bowler and Schrensky said the gum nen appeared to be about 25 years 'f age, feet inches in height and weighed about 145 pounds One of hem wore gray suit and cap, while the other had on a black lum- 'er jacket.

 The Lindbergh plane-the colonel can spot a camera as far as the next man-Went over on it's side in a Wing-over, certain evidence that he was at the controls himself and then zigzagged and zoomed and dipped in a futile effort to escape the follow ing ship.
 The photographer, however, was III faster plane and all Lind bergh's efforts were in vain. Finally seeing that he was outmaneuvered the colonel landed and as the pho tographer's plane zoomed overhead climbed from the cockpit of the fedgling ship and shook his fist at the other pilot.
