Thrills Galore
Sunday As Man
Trys To Escape
Dime - novel exictcment in
real life, complete with all the
thrills of escape, gunfire and
automobile smash-ups, was on
the program In Southport Sund?v
.afternoon.
Jonathan Parker, colored,
was arrested by Chief Otto
Hickman on charges of drunken
dr.ring. When Chief Hickman
went in to get the jail
keys from Jailer G. D. Robinson,
Parker jumpeu into his
waiting automobile and launched
forth on a wild and wooly
ride of about two minutes duration.
As the fleeing man gagged
his motor for a quick get-way,
Chief Hickman fired his gun to
frighten him into submission.
It served the purpose of Inspiring
fright, but not submission;
and Parker s(>ed wildly down
the main street of Southport.
He narrowly missed the W. B.
& S. bus, took the curve at
Captain Church's corner too
fast and plowed into a phone
pole. Foiled, he perked his machine
into reverse, then shoved
her into a forw ard gear and
took off again.
Just past the hospital he
began playing tag with phone
poles 011 both sides of the
road, and then his car begin to
turn turtle. On one of the early
revolutions Parker was
thrown clear, and to this fact
he probably owes his life. He
was lying beside the roan in an
unconscious condition when tiersuing
officers caught upi with
him and carried him lo the
hospital.
The car was a total wreck
?but the tires were undamaged.
