BRUTAL TREATMENT or A LYNN
ROY BY TWO UNKNOWN MEN.
An Unprovoked Assault Which May Re-
suit I'm the Victims Death-The As
sault was Unprovoked.

LYNN, Mass, March 20-Johnnie Crock
lord, the ll-year-old son of Captain Ed
ward NJ. Crockford of this city, is now ly-
ing dangerously i'll at his parents home,
Bl6 Washington street, as the result Of in
human treatment by two unknown men.
The boy attends the Franklin street
school, and Friday afternoon after school
was dismissed he started for his home, but
opposite the armory building was stopped
by two men, who asked him il he was
Irish. Upon replying in the negative the
two men grasped him roughly, and after
making several threats picked him up and
carried him into the armory.
His Screams Were stiGed
by one of the men who gagged him with a
handkerchief. He was then securely
fastened in an unoccupied room and the
two men went away The building at that
time of day is unoccupied, and the lads at
tempts TO make some one hear were futile,
and he was in such state when the two
men returned, some hours later, that they
evidently became frightened at what they
had done and quickly released him and
made haste TO get away.
The boy had just strength enough to
reach his home He frightened his parents
by Immediately going into a fit. He had
no sooner been brought out of the first one
than several others followed, and for a
time
His Life Was Despaired OF.
II was many hours before he could be
come paciGed, so thoroughly was he
frightened. Little by little the story was
drawn from him, but he could give no de-
scription of the men except that they were
young and rough looking.
The boy is still In a serious condition,
and his parents express grave fears for his
future. City Marshal Wells has been in
formed of the case, and every effort will
be to bring the inhuman assailants to jus,
tice Mr.. Crockford will offer reward
| for their detection and conviction.
