sciousness yesterday he informed in
vestigators that he had an appoint
ment with them to transact some
business" and that fight had ensued

slaShed his face and throat and the
pair then fled in light machine, po-
lice said they were told.

driver reported a man with his face
cut" was sitting in an automobile on
the old Bladensburg road.
