Taxi Driver Loses Way;
Then Loses Fare
Henry A. Goldsmith, a taxi driver, from Jamaica, was engaged by a sol¬ dier to take him and two girl compan¬ ions to Baldwin. On the way out they got lost, and came down through the village of Freeport. While going thru Seaman Avenue on the way back at Pennsylvania" Avenue the passengers compelled the driver to get out and let them have the car. He reported to the police, who immediately re¬ sponded in an auto. On reaching the spot they found that the trio had dis¬ appeared. Search was made for them in the surrounding territory, but they were not located. No reason for their peculiar action could be given, beyond a possible wish to get away without paying for their transportation.
