Deputy Sheriff Held Prisoner by
Ex-Convict During 9-Hour Chase
Martinez, Ca!:f. "P A dep
uty sheriff, held prisoner by an
ex-convict dura.g a wild, nine
hour chase throuzh the north
central part of California, Sat
urday, slugged and then shot
his drug-crazed ex-convict cap
tor The drama'.ic c'unax to a grim
game of cat-and-mouse, which
saw 23 police cars trailing the ex
convict and hii deputy sheriff
captive, came to an end here
shortly after 9 am. p d.t.) It
had started shortly before mid
night at Madera, Calif., nearly
200 miles south of here.
Critical Condition
Taken to Contra Costa County
General hospital here in critical
condition was James Franklin
Goldman, the 33-year-old ex-convict
who effected his escape from
Deputy Sheriff Harry Haring in
Madera late Friday night.
The escape came when Gold
man pulled a concealed gun on
Haring who had arrested Gold
man fur questioning in connec
tion with a Fresno, Calif., drug
store robbery and a subsequent
escape from sheriff's deputies
earlier in the week.
- Yesterday morning's wild ride
began when Goldman comman
deered the deputy's car and took
him as hostage.
Then followed a cautious
"track the cat" game, with both
sheriff i and highway patrol
radio cars trailing Goldman as he
drrive a zig-zag course fro-n
Madera to Martinez.
Radio To Pursuers
But with Goldman at the
wheel oi the car most of the
time, Haring radioed repeatedly
to pursuers:
-Call off the pursuit. Gold
man's getting an itchy trigger
fingsr."
And shortly before the end of
the chase, after Goldman had
ordered Haring into the driver's
seat the deputy dropped a note
which read cryptically:
"Get off my tail. My life is in
danger."
But the pursuing line of cars,
which had grown to 23, held
doggedly to the convict and his
captive, although they allowed
them to make a stop for gas in
nearby Pittsburg, Calif., 15 min
utes before Haring ended the
chase by wresting the gun from
Goldman and shooting him in
the stpmach.
As the weird caravan wound
its way around the back streets
of Martinez, seat of Contra Costa
county and located 25 miles
northeast of San Francisco, Har
ing told Goldman:
Turns Away
'Take a look and see what
street we are on and then tell
me where you want to turn."
"Then, when he turned away
to look, I clobbered him with
a right to the jaw and grabbed
his gun and fired at his stom
ach." Hariig said that Goldman
"wolfed down" pep pills all
night. "He gave me a couple but
I just mouthed them and later
got rid of them," Haring said.
The deputy said they refueled
twice, once at Dos Palos and
again at Pittsburgh.
"He sent me into a drivein
once to get some drinks and
when the malt and sandwiches
were ready I told the waitress
'Don t look up, there's a guy
out there who has got me cor
nered'." Asked if he had warned off
the trailing officers, Haring an
swered: "I sure was waving them back.
He, Goldman, warned me what
would happen if they didn't fall
back. He was unemotional, cold
and got excited only at the very
last."
Haring said he originally ar
rested Goldman late Friday iiiqht
for questioning regarding the
Fresno robbery.
"I became suspicious when I
spoiled him near North Fork in
, tne Sierra foothills east of Ma
: dera." he said. "He was walking
! along with no shoes, no shirt and
i was heavily tattooed on both
arms."
He said that during the wild
ride Goldman talked about his
i life in prison and his younger
! days in Butte, Mont.
