brutal RAPE.
a Chi d Twelve Years If Age the victim

Arrest Of the Guilty Perpetrator.
A eolored' msn named Norman Taylor was last
night arrested b the First ward for outrsging
little cooTe1 ssil named Lizzie Bailey, twelve
years Of age: Taylor has been occupying . room
in house in Hughes alley, situated between
Twenty NTH and Twenty-sixth and I and K streets
northwest, which he hired Of Lstha johnson, who
kept the house. Lizzie Bailey, Letha's niece, has
been living with her, and has necessarily been
brought frequently in contact with Taylor: The
mouse Is small two-story, four-roomed house.
ana Iaylor occupied the upper front-room.
Between ande o'clock Monday night, while
Lizzie was alone In the house with ay or, he came
s and
threats. When he LEFT her he threatened 70 kill
her II she told any one OF the deed. Ltz1ie was
when her aunt came home. Taylor in accom-
pltshing his vile purpose had lacerated the per.
son Of the little girl In terrible manner, and
yesterday morning Mrs. johnson noticed that
something was wrong, and upon questioning
Lizzie finally learned what had occurred.
Letha then took Lizzie to her mother, who is
teenth and Nineteenth. Lizzie told the terrible
story there again.
Leths and Lizzie's mother then took her to the
office OF DR.. Mundell, on Connecticut avenue,
who examined her person and confirmed her story.
Letha johnson then sWore out warrant for the
placed in he hauSs Of oficer Hsney, Of the
Fourth precinct. Meanwhile Taylor was going
about the city, carefully avoiding contact with
Policemen.
He did not know that Lizzie had told Of his
crime, and appeared at the house several times
during the day. but nothing was said Of the mat:
ter TO him. The officer was on the alert, and
learning that he had been at the house during the
day kept his eye upon II. Letha agreed to let
him know in case Taylor should be in the house:
The efforts Of the oficer were Of no avail until
about 1890 O'Clock last night. oficer Haney and
Sergeant Guy were then passing through the
alley, when q little girl came to them and told
them that Taylor was in the house. They went
there and arrested him in his room.
He appeared very much frightened, and would
say nothing Of the case. He was locked up In the
Fourth precinct station to appear at the Police
Court this morning.
DR.. Mundell pronounced Lizzie in q very serious
condition. The girl states that this is not the
first occasion he has attempted to outrage her, but
that be has endesvored to accomplish the same
thing three times before. Taylor refused to say
anything about the matter, and, when ques-
toned, said that he knew nothing about 1t. He
asked once, when arrested, who swore out the
warrant, and wi en- told closed his mouth for the
rest Of the night.
He is tall, slim black man, about twenty-five
years OF age, and is married, having wife who
is working in q family In the city.

After the Lawrence had become disabled in the
battle Of Lake Erie, 1t will be lemen bered that
Perry left her during the engagement, and made
the Niagara his flagship until the close Of the
fight. The Lawrence with great dificulty was
gotten into the port Of Erie the port at which she
was built, and, alter rounding the peninsula,
fosted up Misery bay unmanagesble. The next
year, 1914, she was reftted and sent against the
forts at Mackinac. Proving unseaworthy from
the terrible drubbing of the English the year pre-
vjous, she was brought back TO Erie and sunk In
Misery bay, and has lain there ever since, doing
duty as q house for the numberless black bass

pictures from the original text with the addition
presented on the Baltimore stage It affords no
particular opportunity for good acting. Mr.. Rig
mold, who has come all the way from England to

verse he renders with superb effect, Add to this
qualification MI Rignold's fine physical presence,
sity for great acting in this synopsis as its Inter
est principally depends on scenic triumphs and
sensational climsxes: Nosuch comment can, how.
ever, cetract from the substantial attractions of
the play. So as the stage setting is concerned
1t approached perfection, and in the rendering OF
no part was there any conspicuous failure. The
comic element is composed of the quartet made
up by Flullen, Nym, Bardolph and Pistol. 1t Is
only Just to say that every body laughed at them.
The general cast was excellent, and even in such
emergencies as that startling scene OF the battle
Of A gincourt proved its efficiency. There was q
