Police found the trespasser and took him to the front. Ms. Smith said she did not want to press charges, but did want him gone. Police obliged, taking him back to Amagansett Main Street, where he got into a taxi and vanished.

They stopped at the Apple Bank on Montauk Highway so that the Wayne man could withdraw money. Neither man was identified since no arrests were made. Police called for a taxi and the New Jersey man took it.
