A resident of the village heard the crash and tele- phoned police. The call was relayed to the po- lice booth where it was picked up by Patrolmen Robert Ketcham and ~Harold Looney. Cruising around the village, they saw the car which contained the four men, became suspicious, and ordered them to stop. ead of stopping, the men put on speed toward Amityville. Po- lice fired several shots during the pursuit, and one bullet hit the ve- hicle. Ase the alleged burgtars drove at rapid speed over the highway, they threw out cases of liquor, police said, in an effort to throw the police-car off the road. , One of the men had a gallon jug of wine in his hand, ready to throw it from the carand it was shot out of his hand by Patrolman Looney. The chase ended when the car. holding the four men crashed into the porch of the home at 87 Merrick road, Amityville, owned and occupied by Christian Bruseke. None of. the men was hurt, but the porch .was knocked down and a plaster wall of a front room was shattered. It was the strategy of the police which halted the chase, according ; to them.> Patrolman- Ketcham knows the territory around Am- ityville and he put on speed as the cars neared: a sharp curve, in an effort to force the alleged burglars' car off the: road. Instead, it crashed into the building. I According to Detective James Farrell and. Detective William Garrett of the second precinct, the men admitted the burglary when they were questioned at the pre- cinet before being taken to Min- police headquarters for ques- tioning and fingerprinting. About six cases of the liquor were recovered. The car of the four men was damaged badly.
