Baltimore Pike. the Defense Highway
and several lesser roads leading out of
the city, but found no trace Of their
quarry.
The police had covered throughout
the day the usual haunts of Embrey,
who is well known to police, but the
youth, if he appeared at any Of them,
was not recognized by the policemen.
The youths now under arrest were
the victims Of the bravado of one of
their number, who gave Gilbert z.
Hyatt, jr., the license number Of the
car they were driving just before they
relieved him of the $4,000 pay roll he
was carrying and dumped him out Of
the machine in Rock Greek Park.
This little touch of defiance of the
police. abetted by the retentive memory
Of Detective Sergt. Dennis J. Murphy
Of the thirteenth precinct, brought
their speedy arrest.
About a week ago Detective Murphy,
with his running mate. z. F. Lewis,
Of the thirteenth precinct, were riding
along in a police car when they espied
q machine containing two youths whom
they wanted to question in connection
with HOUSEKEEPING cases in the thir-
tenth precinct. They drove alongside
the car and Lewis jumped from the
running board of the police car to the
car of the youths wanted for question
ing. Instead Of stopping, as they were
ordered, the youths showed Lewis from
the running board of the machine ana
sped away. Before Murphy could pick
up Lewis and give chase the car had
been lost in traffic.

But Murphy remembered the license
number of that machine and when the

to all police precincts, Murphy recog-
nized it. Murphy also remembered the
youths who had been in the car at the
time. He says they we're Embrey and

name the car was listed in, Murphy
reported his deductions to headquarters
and Detectives Howard Ogle and HUI

and found Ogle ransacking his room
for evidence. He made dive for the
