night last, jumped from rapidly moving train
near Tamworth. England. rcgained conscious
ness yesterday. The police had already taken
into custoday the Rev. Mr.. Goodall, tie local
preacher. who mad been the only other occu-
pant of the compartment in the railway car

Mrs. Siddals says the minister engaged her
in conversation after they had ridden some DIS
lance together, and after time attempted lib
critics. which she repulsed. He then grasped
her by the throat and attempted to assault her
She struggled desperately to prevent dis
honor, and finally the preacher, whether simply
20 escape detection or to cause her death is mot
known, pushed her out of the compartment
Fortunately she caught upon the footboard as
she was falling and regained her footing. She
saws she was SO terribly excited she did not re-
alize the danger Of jumping, and with only the
idea of escaping she ieaped from the carriage.
She remembers nothing further.
