Naughton. So, of 1858 Ontario
road NV, was driving to a din
ner party with her sister, Mrs.
Clarence A. Reed, 1909 Piney
Branch road, Takoma Park.
"As we drove west we heard a
crash," said Miss McNaughton,
head of the University of Mary
lands kindergarten school.
1T looked as though a police
cruiser had crashed into another
car, deliberately rammed it broad
side to bring it to a stop. We
thought it had been chasing a
speeding car.
"Since no other witnesses were
there, we decided to pull to the
curb to offer any assistance we
could. Then this man, with the
badly bleeding face, came up to
the car. He was very courteous.
"I would be grateful if you
drove me to my car he said.
when we suggested that he
ought to see a doctor and that we
would call police, he replied, oh,
no. thank you, that will not be
necessary"
Learned of Staying Later.
It was not until they had re-
turned from the party that the
good SamaritanS." as they
thought they had been. learned
they unwittingly had assisted a
fugitive.
Another who heard the crash
was Charles j. Bauer 225 Dale
drive. Silver Spring, executive sec
retary of the Building Owners and
Managers Association of Wash
ington.
He was in the law Office of Ed
ward Foster, near the scene of
the crash, with his son Robin,
and two other boys. and they
looked out the window.
Il saw a man weaving away
from the wrecked car" Mr.. Bauer
said. HE got in the back seat of
a car and drove off. I got part of
the license number. then ran to
my own car and started after it."
Mr.. Bauer believed it was a case
of leaving the scene of an acci-
dent, and was determined to stop
the culprit.
II caught up with them near
the underpass. got the full license
number and followed all the way
to Sixteenth street and Colesville
road"
II saw the man who had left
the wreck get out of the car and
start to get into another. Then I
got out myself. and yelled to an
other motorist to hold that fell
low there until I called police"
Attempted to Hire Cab.
Mr.. Bauer ran to a phone in
the Falkland apartments, and
when he returned there were two
other men with the suspect. A
cab drove by and Kirkland at
tempted to hire it, but the cab
driver needed Mr.. Bauer's request
not to let him get away.
The man Mr.. Bauer had hailed
before he dashed to the telephone
was Phil A. Hurley, 4219 Fourth
street Sc, who told this story:
II was just out driving with my
wife and two daughters and
stopped to see what was going
on. This man (Mr. Bauer) told
me the fellow with the blood on
his topcoat had left the scene of
the accident, and to hold him.
1t was then, Mr.. Hurley con-
tinued, that John Joyce, Of 3706
Fairly street. Bethesda, came by
and was asked to help.
1--WE looked at this fellow (Kirk-
land) and saw his eyes were wild.
He seemed dazed and I thought
a man in his condition was liable
to get violent. So I suggested we
talk to him instead of trying to
hold him.
He sat in his car awhile and
then got up and started to walk
off. I told him he was white as
"a sheet and might faint. He said
he would be, all right if he could
get to Bethesda. and that's when
he hailed the cab.
Right after Mr.. Bauer stopped
the cab driver from taking the
fellow. off. the police came and
got him. They found a gun in
his pocket. That was some sur
prise-he had been holding his
hand in that pocket. heard one
of the officers ask the man why
he had shot policeman, and he
replied that he didn't shoot him."
Officer Died without Speaking.
First to reach Pvt. McAllister
after the crash was Mr.. Bauer's
son, Robin. 18. The policeman
tried to speak, but never uttered
a word.
