Leonora Mohu. tho ten ysar-old daughter OF
| Scenic Artist Leon Mohn. is lying disabled at
| her home. W 'rillary street, Brooklyn. from
! the effects. as alleged. OF . cowardly assault
| upon her by min -year-old William Murray
| of 1O7 Hillary street. The little girl. who is
blue-eyed. falr-haired. and pretty. received her
injuries while roller skating on Wednesday
night on the Wide sidewalk In front OF the Co.
lumba Theatre in Washington street.
The boys and girls OF the neighborhood
havo been In the habit for some time OF using
| the sidewalks on the block in which tho thea
tire and the new Federal building are located
for roller skating purposes. and so far they
have not been checked In their sport, either Ivy
the police or the attaches OF the theatre. They
were out in full force on Wednesday night. and
mono OF them seemed to enter into the sport
with more glee than little Lsonora Mohn. who
was concededly the prettiest girl In the thronR.
Young Murray has had the privilege OF selling
candies directly In front OF the main entrance
to the theatre. and. until Wednesday night. no
trouble occurred between him and the hilari-
GUS boys and girls on roller skates.
On that night. however. he constituted him
self a censor OF their sport and. as they flew BY
him from time to time on their rollers. he an
grily warned them to keep away from the
front OF the theatre. The boys needed his
warning and betook themselves to the John
son street side Of the block; but the girls CON
electric lights in front Of the theatre; Murray
lost his temper. suddenly seized the Mohn girl
