f. DESPERATE ATTACK UPoN Two LADIES'
Saturday evening about O'Clock Thomas
c.. Synco, bookbinder by occupation,
made ferocious attack upon his sister and
mother. Mr.. Synco, with his mother and
his brotherin-law (Mr. TayIor) and family,
live near the corner OF Williamsburg ave-
nue. and State street, Rockets. Mr. Synco
is about fifty years OF age, and until
lately has been regular in bis habits. Re-
Gently, however, he has been suffering from
some unexplained melancholy. Saturday
three weeks ago he jumped off Mayo's
bridge into theriver, in the effort to drown
himself, but was rescued and carried to the
almshouse.. After few days treatment
there he went back to his work at Ran
dolphS English's, and so continued until
Hollywood memorial-day, when he quit
work and did not return.
Saturday evening, without giving any
warning OF his purpose or displaying any
symptom OF mental malady, and while his
sister. Mrs. Taylor, was quietly sitting near
the window with her child in her arms, be
seized the poker, rushed upon her, and
struck at her several times. The only blow
that took effect on the head was slanting
one, which. Knocked Mrs. Taylor down, but
did not fracture the skull. The child was
somewhat hurt when its mother was knocked
down. Mrs. Synco was then seized by her
son and violently choked, and would in all
probability have been killed but for the
timely appearance OF a gentleman neighbor.
Mr.. Synco was arrested by Justice Mays
and lodged in the First station-house. at
the station-house he was non-communica-
tive; in fact, exhibited great aversion to talk
ing. The most that was got from him was that
he was sick. It's believed that Mr.. Synco's
mind has become unbalanced, and that
while a paroxysm was upon him he made
the assault upon his sister and mother, to
brother and son.
