WILD FLIGHT
OF,
(Continued ronvPage One)
lice here were notified to be on
the watch -for the paiiy giving
their car license number.
Under Arrest '
Officer Walter Walker spent
Tuesday, his day off, driving
about In his private car looking
for the Fosters, and recognized
the Foster car parked in front of
the county school shops on Sum
mers lane.
Officer Walker got out of his
car Bnd approached Foster, who
was talking to men at the school
shops about obtaining a bus for
defense -work in Utah. The offi
cer told Foster he was under ar
rest and started to search him.
! Foster's Answer
According to the officer, Fos
ter scuffled with him and picked
up a rock. ; Walker went to his
car and obtained a shotgun.
Meanwhile, Foster got into his
car and locked the doors.
Walker called to him to get
out and give up. Foster's answer
was to start the car.
"I could have blasted him out
of the car, but I did not know
the seriousness of the case
against him," said Walker. "I
did not want to kill him. Instead,
I fired at a rear tire, ripping it
off the rim."
Led Officer
But the fugitive got underway,
despite . this handicap, and
Walker gave chase.
The flight led out Summers
lane to the airport, then to the
left to state highway 39, south
on 89 to Mack's store. There
Foster swung onto the Spring
lake road, and by devious back
country roads led the pursuing
officer to a point near the state
line" road Just south of Merrill. -Slowed
Down
Walker said that despite the
faetf Foster was running on only
three tires and a rim, he man
aged to get speed up to 60
miles an hour or more. Walker
was unarmed except for the
shotgun. He frequently rah up
close behind Foster, but could
not get In front of him on the
narrow back roads, and Foster
would swerve to prevent the of
ficer heading him. Walker
could not stop' to shoot, because
Foster would immediately run
out of range... " , -.
This kept up to the point near
Merrill, where Walker slowed
down when he thought he rec
ognized the car of another state
officer.--- .The third car, however,
passed 'Walker,' and rolled up the
dust between the officer and Fos
ter's car -It-was at this time
that Walker lost the fugitive,
and he ;drove quickly to Merrill
and notified headquarters here.
'5: Suspicion
State policemen from here,
headed by Sergeant E. W. Tich
enor, went immediately to Tule
lake, where they picked up Chief
of Police Frank Rhoads, High
way Patrolman Fred Engel, and
Deputy Sheriff Roy Dysert.
Inquiry at Tulelake disclosed
that Ms. Foster's mother was
working at Henzel brothers' Tu
lana farms at the south end of
Tule lake near the west side
road. Officers suspected that
Foster had been heading in that
direction - when he fled from
Walker, and drove toward Tu
lana farms.
About two. miles from the
farm headquarters, they sighted

Foster walking on the road. He
gave up without resistance.
Taken to Tulelake
The officers then went on to
the farm headquarters and
picked up Mrs. Foster and the
little girl, Sharon.
It was learned they had been
taken directly to Tulelake after
the flight from Bend and Foster
had then, on Tuesday, driven
back to Klamath Falls where he
met up with Officer Walker and
the wild pursuit followed.
Foster told the officers that
after shaking off Walker, he had
decided to abandon his car and
walk on to Tulana farms. He
left the car on the state line
road, and had walked five or six
miles when he was arrested.
Defense Worker
The Fosters waived extradi
tion and with Sharon were
brought to Klamath Falls by
state police, arriving about 10
p. m. Tuesday. The little girl
was taken to Llghtfoot hospital
and the Fosters were lodged in
the county jail. .
Foster told the officers he had
been working on a defense con
struction project in Utah. Sev
eral months ago he worked on
the Japanese relocation project
at Newell, near Tulelake, and it
was then that he had become
familiar with back roads he used
in the flight from arrest by
Walker. Foster was recalled by
the officers at Tulelake and this
led to the suspicion he had head
ed for Tulana farms where his
mother-in-law works.
Asked for Child
Sherman Telford, father of
two-year-old Sharon, arrived
with his wife at 3 o'clock this
morning and after contacting
city police went directly to Light
foot hospital where he took the
little girl from her bed. The
family returned to Bend at 8
o'clock, state police said.
Telford told officers that Shar
on's mother, Mary Elizabeth Fos
ter, and her husband, Gene,
called at his home Sunday and
asked for the child. When Tel
ford refused to let Sharon go
with the couple the mother is
quoted as saying, "If you don't
let me have her I'll get her some
how." At one time, Telford
said, the couple asked to take
the little girl out to buy her
some clothes.
Monday evening the Fosters
returned to the house, Telford
said. He became suspicious while
talking with them in the living
room. Suddenly Foster stood
up, stretched and lunged at Tel
ford. Both men fought in the
house, proceeded out-of-doors
where they dealt each -Other
blows. In the meantime, Mrs.'
Foster grabbed the little sir! and
ran to the car. A passerby intet-
and Foster then ran for the car,
and drove, away. . -
Drove Bus
Telford filed a charge of child
stealing against the two in the
Bend justice court and bond was
set at $2700, officers said. Sher
iff McCauley of Deschutes coun
ty was expected here today to
move the Fosters from the coun
ty. jail where they were placed
Immediately after their arrest.
Officers said Foster had been
employed as a bus driver during
the construction of the Japanese
reception center at Tulelake and
more recently on a government
project in Utah. He came to
Oregon for the purpose of ob
taining additional buses, he Is
said to have told police.

with Pierre Laval, his chief of

allied sympathizer, and that he
had elected to stay where he
was a virtual prisoner of

had both eyes blacked and se

child, Telford said Foster made
off with a $4 cigarette lighter.
Telford and the present Mrs.
Foster were divorced some time

Mrs. Foster) was not present at
the divorce proceedings, and
Sharon was given into the cus
