‘Phantom Gunman
Fires at Motorists On Illinois Road
PLAINFIELD, Ill, May 30 (UP) — A “phantom gunman’ who fires at motorists from his own fast-moving automobile was at large today on heavily traveled U. 8. Highway 66. State police feared that the unknown marksman was a madman. Two drivers reported that he fired at them yesterday as they drove along U. 8. 66, the main highway between Chicago and St. Louis. Both attacks occurred near Plainfield which is close to Joliet, Ill, and about 40 miles southwest of Chicago. The drivers who said they were targets for the “phantom” were William Eirthisel, 45, Plainfleld, and Daniel Schoner, 32 Kankakee, Ill. In each case, police said, the gunman aimed with his left hand while steering his blue-colored car with his right. They said he showed “amazing. accuracy” by firing a single shot into the cars as they approached his at high speed. The attacks occurred about nine hours apart. The bullets smashed the window vent on the driver's side on both attempts, and splinters from one slug tore into Mr. Eirthisel’s left middle finger. Mr. Schoner ducked when he
