Sutherwick Broke Mary Jones's

Mary Jones. forty years old, OF $50
Forty-sixth street, Brooklyn, Is lying
In critical condition at the Norwegian
Hospital, suffering from a fractured
skull, inflicted by Benjamin Suther-
wick, OF 17 Nineteenth street, who
struck her over the head with a can

The police of the Fifth avenue sta

made his escape.
Mrs. Jones, last night, went to call
on her mother at las Nineteenth street.
The two women sat out in the back
yard drinking beer, and the can was
filled several times.
Sutherwick came in the yard while
the two women were drinking and at
tempted to take a drink from the can.
Mrs. Jones caught him by the arm,
saying that she did not propose to buy
beer for any man.
Sutherwick then struck her over the
head with the can and ran away. Mrs.
Jones was taken to the Fifth avenue

We stayed a moment, kneeling. The
Captain prayed aloud. Enormous gulls,

hoarse cries with the wailing of the
sea. The prayer finished, we came
sadly back 10 the corner of the island

thoughtful air.

The policeman insisted upon arresting

precedence to the former complaint.
