SILVER SPRING, Nd, August 10
Playing q game Of hide and seek with
speeding automobiles over the Mont
district, Policeman Charles T. Barnes
of the Northern district station
hampered by clouds of smoke from q
screen. sought, finally tagged his tire
with a bullet, subsequently picked up the
car, abandoned with 264 quarts of al
legged liquor aboard, and short while
later found the alleged driver and hts
passenger, several miles from where the
car was left on the roadside.
Barnes. with Joe Kern. an aide, went
up to Ashton on his early morning
patrol, and while waiting there they
heard the roar of motor coming from
SHELLS Bridge. When he passed they
started dYvn the Olney road after the
suspected car, but when the police car
began gaining, the rum car let out
great volumes OF smoke. Barnes stop
ped short, turned about and went back
to Ashton, then down the Colesville
road to Colesville, and across to the
Brookeville pike at 0lenmont, figuring
that the rum car would take that route.
But the trip by Colesville was q
shorter one, and police, upon reaching
the intersection, threw the car across
the road. They had been there but
few seconds, when the suspected rum
car came tearing down the road. Upon
seeing the road blocked the driver
careened to one side, and negotiated
the space between the police car and
the fence.
simultaneously volumes Of smoke
belched forth and Barnes revolver
spit into haze. Jumping into the po-
lice care they started down the road
again, searching. and found the car
abandoned on the Wheaton Kensing-
ton road. with its load Of alleged liquor
still aboard. The bullet from the po-
licemans gun had hit true-the tire
was punctured by the lead missile.
Taking charge Of the car and ar
ranging for its safe keeping. they
started cruising again. and this time
they went through Kensington and
down Connecticut avenue, and, &C
cording to the report, their efforts were
rewarded when they found two men
walking on the road. The men started
to run and the police after them, and
the latter won.
One of the men, white, gave the
name of John J. Cunning and his adj
dress In the 1000 block of Quebec
street, Washington, while the other
colored, gave the name Of Raymond
Thomas Davis and his address in the
900 block of Euclid street. Davis, &C
cording to the police report, said tina:
Cunning was driving and that he was
operating the smoke screen. Each was
charged with transporting liquor with
intent to sell the same and with OPP
Grating a smoke screen and were re-
leased on $1,000 bond each, $500 on
each charge, for their appearance at
the Rockville. court for trial on Au-
gust IS.
