Death-Stalking Chase Yields
Lincoln Police Prize Catch
By George Abbott.
We don't like to gripe about the
police department's efficiency in
Lincoln or inefficiency but then,
it happened early Sunday morning.
Four roughly dressed young
men, in a car bearing Michigan
license plates, with four guns in
the rear seat, drove up to a gas
station at Agnew, 17 miles north
west of Lincoln, at 3 a.m. Sun
day. Finding the attendant asleep,
they wakened him and asked him
to sell them some gas.
Stopped.
That's when it happened: the
pump which supplied pressure for
the gas pump failed to work. That
in itself is nothing unusual, but
what followed was police effi
ciency or inefficiency.
Thinking nothing of it, except
that they were low on gas, the
two men who were awake (two
... 0 Students?
were asleep in the back seat) .con
tinued on their way to Lincoln.
Coming onto the highway just
noith of the city, a police cruiser
car spotlight was flashed repeat
edly on the car, so naturally the
young man driving stopped. A
pair of policemen hurried up,
poked a gun in the face of the
driver and bellowed at all four of
them to climb out "with your
hands up."
Frisked.
All four were then lined up
far enough apart to prevent any
"tricks" and "frisked" under the
spotlight's glare. In the mean
time, two other police cars had
driven to the spot. Transferred to
a squad car for the trip into town,
while a policeman drove the car
with the Michigan license plates,
the four were watched closely
