A—20 #x -MAN IMPOSTER SOUGHTBY POLICE Speeder Passes as Aid to Attorney General—Flees Precinct Station. Agents of the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation today were conducting an | intensive search for a motorist who impersonated Assistant Attorney Gen- eral Brien Mc- Mahon and fled from eighth pre- cinet police after he was arrested § for speeding McMahon called on J. Edgar Hoo- ver, director of the F. B. I, to exhaust. all possi- ble resources in the search for the impersonator, who, according to police, is equipped with a Justice Department iden- tification card and a Maryland driver’s permit, both bearing the name of *“Brien McMahon.” Pointing out that he passes on all cases nolle prossed by the Justice De- partment, McMahon said. “The speeding charge is serious, but not half as grave as the possibility that the impersonator may attempt to use his cards to interfere with justice There is no estimating the amount a crook might collect if he could con- vince racketéers he had authority to nolle prosse pending criminal cases.” Fraud Found Friday. The impersonator was discovered early Friday morning when Police- men L. M. Gentry and L. O. Olinger in an eighth precinct scout car stopped a car for speeding 70 miles an hour on Connecticut avenue. The driver displayed the fraudulent iden- tification cards,” the officers said, but they ordered him to follow the scout car to the police station En route to the eighth precinct, the following car turned suddenly into a side street and led the policemen on a wild chase at breakneck speed over a 5-mile route before it escaped at Eleventh and N streets. The police- men failed to obtain the tag num- bers of the car. McMahon first learned of the im- personation yesterday when Gentry and Olinger came to his office to in- form him a warrant had been issued for his arrest. After one look at McMahon, the officers realized the warrant had been issued for the wrong man In Bed Asleep at Time. “I was home in bed sound asleep Friday morning when some one called me up. I thought it was a practical joker because they said they wanted to learn whether I was home,” Mc- Mahon said. “Yesterday I discovered it was one of the officers who had called.” McMahon said he does not have either a Justice Department identifi- cation card or a Maryland driver's permit. Moreover, he said, he does not even have an automabile While he was assistant to the At- torney General, however, McMahon said, he signed identification cards issued employes of the Justice Depart- ment. His signature is large and bold and in the half light it is pos- sible that the officers may have con- centrated on the signature instead of the typewritten name of the employe to whom the card was issued, Mc- Mahon said. Assistant Corporaton Counsel Rice Hooe recalled the speed warrant when he learned of the impersonation. Brien McMahon. MRS. W. DALLAS PAYNE EXPIRES IN CHARLESTON Mrs. W.
