F; > POLICEMAN FIGHTS | DUEL WITH ROBBER PW NEST SH ST (Continued) Street and made such good time that he reached Tenth Avenue and 69th Street ahead of the man O'Flaherty Was chasing. The robber durted into tho front of ono of the tenements, The policemen followed him, but a search of the house and the roofs was in vain. The man running east was seen by Dr. Joseph H. Jaffer of No. Cen- tral Park West, who was approaching the hospital to attend a uinic. He turned and chased the running high- wayman and nearly overtook him half way to Eighth Avenue. The fugitive turned and fired five shots toward the doctor as fast as he could pull the trigger. Dr. Jaffer did not slacken his pace and this man too ran into a tenement and was lost. A third young man, dressed as much like the two bighwhymen as though the three had been costumed for a vaudeville song-and-dance act, jumped to the seat beside the driver of the cab, Vidal Madorrian of .No. 46 Manhattan Avenue, put a revolver to the chauffeur's side and com- manded him with a curse to “get going.” Madorrian promptly ran his cab Into the one ahead of it so that tho wheels jammed. Detectives of the West 68th Street Station,arriving in a police automobile, made a hurried search for the taxi- cab in which the robbers had attempt- ed to escape and its driver, Later they learned Madorrian had of his own motion driven directly to the sta- tion and reported the attempted rob- bery to Lieut. Bunnoll. Maddorian said he had been waiting for a fare at Liggett’s Drug Store on Columbus Circle when « dapper young man in a tan overcoat and gray hat hud climbed inside and told him to drive to 59th Street and Ninth Ave- nue, stopping a few doors east of the corner. He followed directions. The young man got out to the sidewalk and told him to wait a minute. Other vehicles closed in on him, and then came the sound of the shot and the other two tan-overcoated men ran trom the store. ‘The chauffeur cheerfully agreed to aid Detective Sergts.
