sOner.
On Friday evening the police OF Yonkers, West
chester county, succeeded in apprehending James
DOwney, aged eighteen, another Of the parties
charged with having perpetrated a criminal
assault on the person OF Ellen Eagap, as reported
exclusively In the HERALD OF Saturday. Downey
was fully identified by the young woman
as the person who mad ADDED robbery
to the more heinous crime. While at the police
station the prisoner admitted to Captain Mangtn
that he had first outraged and then robbed the
complainant OF her pocKetboOk, and when ar
raigned In the City Court Saturday morning he
pleaded guilty to the charges Of outrage and high
way robbery. Downey, whose parents reside in
Yonkers, is a worthless fellow, and has just been
discharged from the Albany Penitentiary. He was
tully committed for the action of the Grand Jury.
II now appear, from Information received by
the police, that the young woman Eagan Was
ultimately escaping from the clutches OF her mer-
ciless assallants still SUFFERING from the effects
of a sunstrOke, which she received q lew years

wretches, having informed their acquaintance OF
her helpless state and OF their having abandoned
her on lonely road, several OF them proceeded
to the spot, and, after carrying their victim to
on the following morning, subjecting her during
all that time to treatment OF the most shocking
character. The police authorities are working
