70 Miles an Hour
Xew Haven, Oct. 27 A.V) A fusi
llade of shots shattered the early
morning quiet of the Hamden sec
tion here today when a. motorcycle
officer engaged the occupants of two
automobiles in a gun duel.
The machines roared through the
streets at 70 miles an hour, shortly
after one o'clock, when David W
Howe, a motorcycle officer, took up
the chase. One of the automobiles
was a sedan reported stolen In Whit
neyrille. In it was one man whib
the oilier machine contained two
men, supposedly confederates of the
driver of the sedan.
In the exchange of pistol shots, at

arm jerk through the window by the
steering wheel and hang limp. Ho
was forced to abandon the chase
when the two machines threatened
to wedge him between them.
All hough Howe is sure that he
secured the numbers of the two au
tomobiles despite the fact that, a
