They Went Round and Round

Policeman chased man around in revolving door 15 minutes.

Quarry Planned Making Pursuer Dizzy, But Wheeling

Cage Flew Off Hinges and Fell.

Ottawa Evening Herald, 29 Dec 1910, p6c3

New York, Dec. 29. - An alleged thief led a Broadway policeman a hard fifteen-minute chase round and round a revolving door in an uptown office building last night. The policeman was almost at the fellow's heels when he dashed into the office doorway. He made no attempt to enter the building, but stopped in the little compartment of the whirling door and waited a moment for the policeman to catch up.

As the bluecoat pushed into a compartment just behind, the quarry started the door going madly, remaining in the particular compartment he had entered while the policeman was compelled to do likewise. They whirled round and round, the fellow's idea evidently being that his pursuer soon would become dizzy and be unable to keep up the pursuit. But after a few minutes of the "squirrel act" the door flew off its hinges and threw the policeman and his quarry in a heap on the sidewalk.
