The New York management thought to stem

MORROS THE MASHER.
EVIDENCE THAT HE is AN AS
SAULTER OF LITTLE GIRLS.
A Jail Is a Pretty Good Place for Him.
His Child Victims Identity Him in
Court-More Charges Against Him.

The man Morros or Moropulus, the
Greek, arrested Friday night, for as
saulting young girl on Main street, is
undoubtedly the fellow who has been
complained OF for approaching women
and young girls on the streets, and at
tempting by force to compel them to
submit to his vile caresses.
The police department has been on
huot for the scoundrel for some time
past as have also the male relatives of
the girls he has attempted to carry out
his designs upon, and it is fortunate
thing for the prisoner that he fell into the
hands of the officers before some hus-
band, father or brother found him out.
Marropulus was taken before Justice
Austin Yesterday on a charge of assault,
preferred by the girl he seized Friday
night, and bail was set at the sum of
5000. He has been mixed up in num-
ber OF scrapes before and it occurred to
the officers that possibly he might be
the brute who has so terrorized num-
ber of localities in the city. A young
girl, who resides on South Pearl street,
was taken into the court room and in
stantlv pointed out the prisoner as the
man who seized her some nights ago
and kissed her and at the same time
tore her clothes to pieces in an effort to
accomplish his vile purpose. Several
Others identified him as their assailant
and a complaint was drawn charging
him with assault with intent to commit
rape, in addition to the charge of simple
assault. The brute now occupies cell
in the city prison, and, as it is strongly
suspected that he is also the man who
stole horse and buggy on Tuesday last
and induced 12-year-old girl, named
Blackwell, to accompany him on drive
to the Nadeau vineyard where he at
tempted to outrage her, long season of
confinement probably awaits him.

A COWARD'S BLOW.
FRANK POWELSON CLUBS HIS WIFE
INTO INSENSlBILITY.
The Assault of an Unspeakable Wretch
Upon a Helpless Woman-A Man VINO
Ought to be Lynched.

At midnight last night Cora Powelson
the wife of Frank Powelson, lay on a
table in the receiving hospital at the
city prison. DR.. Mccarthy was leaning
over the young woman attending to a
big wound in her forehead.
The blood streamed over her face and
down her breast.
''I can't stand it, DOCTOR" cried the
suffering woman as she attempted to
break away from the men holding her
while> the doctor was dressing the
wound. 81 don't care whether
am SCARED for life. Tell Frank want
to see him." implored the wife of the
man who less than half an hour before
had struck her insensible to the floor
with heavy cane.
Cora Powelson is frail woman who
occupies crib on Alameda street. Her
internal brute of husband, Powelson,
lives off the earnings of this woman,
who is his legal wife, He owns her
body and soul, and when she fails to
make sufficient money she must submit
to bullying and very often to thrash
ing. This little diversion is OF frequent
occurrence, yet these women submit in
a most mild manner and cannot be in
duced to prosecute these brutes.
Last night, few minutes after II
O'Clock, Powelson went into the crib oc-
cupied by his wife and demanded five
dollars. She was slightly under the in
fuence of liquor and had little while
previously been put to bed.
go and get the money" came the
answer. This made Powelson angry,
and taking up cane he smashed her
over the head, telling her to the floor.
Officers Rohn, Bosqui and Vignes hap
pened to be in the neighborhood and
heard the row. Powelson was captured
Just as he was making his escape from
the rear OF the building. Cora Powelson
was found on the floor in pool of blood.
Powelson resisted all the way to the
police station, and Officer Bosqui had
considerable trouble to land his man in
Jail. Some sympathy was wasted on
Powelson by the spectators on Spring
street who were not familiar with the
case, and who thought that the officer
was handling him little roughly. They
were not aware that few minutes pre-
viously he had made murderous as
sault on his wife, and Bosqui would
have received the thanks of the COM
munity if he had banged him with
club instead of his fist. In fact, if the
scoundrel had been brought out to the
crowd which soon collected in front of
station, and which had heard the story,
he would not have lived five minutes.
DR.. Mccarthy reports that the woman
is not dangerously hurt, although she
has received very severe and painful
cut

nectsd With the New Court House.

w. Swope, at salary of $S5 per month.

new court house an oil burner for the
combustion of aerated petroleum was
accepted at the price of $1272.

SAN CLEMENTE ISLAND.
No Filings on Land on the Island are
Receivable.

Inquiry was made at the United States
land office yesterday in regard to the al
legged stampede OF settlers to San Glenn
ente island for the purpose of taking up
lands. No filings have so far been made
on any land on the island, and none
would be received if offered. for the rea-
son that Clemente has never been sur
veyed, and there are no plats OF the
island in the local office.
The receiver does not know whether
or not the land is reserved from settle
ment by the government, but the sup
position is strong that it is, for if the
land were open to settlers plats OF the
island would be on file here. The local
Office directs all inquirers to the deputy
surveyor-general OF the United States
for this district, whose headquarters are
at San Francisco. No report OF the dis
covery of water on the island has been
made to the receiver.

THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING. 1891

in extinguishing the flames, it was too
late, as the unfortunate woman was hor-
ribly burnt about her face, head and
body.
Drs. Blocker and Radebaugh were
called in to attend, but nothing could be
done to save Mrs. French's life. as she
died few hours after the accident. The
deceased was a widow, about 65 years
old, and lived alone. After catching fire
the old lady lost her presence of mind
and instead OF rolling on the floor rushed
into the open air.
