CLUBBED IN THE DARK.
A Lynn Physician Assaulted by an
Unknown Man.

LYNN, Mass, Sept. z3.-Dr. Willis Ed
wards OF Smith street was about to retire
at 9.15 last night, and had partially un-
dressed, whom the door bell was rung
violently. Going down to the street
door, clad in his underclothes, he half
opened 1t and inquired what was wanted.
He was answered by q voice apparently
disguised, that he was wanted on mat
ter Of deepest Importance and to open
the door. Tho physician hesitated for
moment or two, and finally opened the
door.
No sooner had he done so than the in
dividual hit him on the head with Club.
The blow was severe enough to cause un-
consciousness, and when the doctor re-
covered sufficiently to give an alarm his
assailant had disappeared.
DIR. Edwards presented q ghastly APP
pearance when medical aid arrived. His
undershirt was one mass OF blood, and
great clots had gathered at the back of
his head where the blow had fallen. The
life fluid had also trickled down over the
steps into the yard. The doctor dressed
the wound, which was several inches In
length and situated at the base OF the
brain. The full nature of the injury he
declared he could not vouch for until Q
more thorough examination had been
made.
DIR. Edwards advertisss as a clairvoyant
physician and II understood to have
large patronage. He has been In Lynn
nearly two years. A short time ago he
opened branch Office In Salem, but that
has been closed for week or more. He
is prominently identified with the Lynn
spiritualists.
On being questioned as to who would
have any motive for committing 30 bru-
tai an assault, the doctor said that he
had his suspicious but could not divulge
anything until today, when his brain
would have cleared up. He said, how
ever, that he had observed a man about
feet inches In height, dressed In dark
clothes and slouch hat and who would
weigh about 140 pounds, standing in
front or around his residence all the
evening. 1t was the same individual who
hit him. He thought the man had q
black moustache, but OF this he was not
certain. He, however, wore spectacles,
and ne thinks he could identify him.
The police on investigation found tho
weapon with which the blow had been
dealt. II was an ordinary siung shot,
heavily loaded, such as are carried by
crooks. Not the slightest trace OF the
perpetrator could be found, and no one
who had seen the man. A man was ar
rested about IL o'clock who answered to
the description given, but hc was released
on furnishing q suitable explanation OF
his whereabouts during the afiair.
