MOTORIST WHO HIT AND RAN IS SELF-BETRAYED

A nervous hit and run driver, seeking to establish a false alibi for himself, furnished the clew that enabled the Englewood police last night to solve the mystery in the death of Charles Howard Mitchell, 6700 Perry avenue, a veteran attorney.
Mitchell, who has 71 years old, was at one time counsel for the board of election commissioners. He was struck down Friday evening at Wentworth avenue and Marquette road. The driver sped on an the police were unable to find any witnesses who could identify the car. Mitchell died a few hours later in St. Bernard's hospital.
