One of the Most Outrageous Cases in
the Annals of Crime.

New York, Oct. 9.-News of a daring
and brutal assault, which was commit
ted at Dobb's Ferry Saturday night,

Ella Judson, Is years old, the daugh-
ter Of DR.. Judson, a specialist. The
scene of the outrage was that portion

joining the estate of J. Jennings Nc
Comb.
The man who attacked Miss Judson
is about % years Of age. During the
afternoon he applied at several resi-
dences, and in cases where he met with
a refusal for something to eat, he grew
violent.
About o'clock, while the family
were at dinner he called at Mr.. Nc
Combs place, and a servant gave him
some bread and butter. On leaving he
scaled the fence that divides the prop
erty from that of DR.. Judson. He
knocked at the side door of DR.. judi
sons residence and got some cold meat
and bread, just as Miss Judson left the
house to visit friend. AS she reached
the gate she stopped to button her
shoe, when a noise behind her startled
her. The night was dark. and the shade
cast py the overhanging trees render
ed it impossible to see any great dis
lance, but as she turned she made out
a figure of a man within arms length,
and a moment later his arms were
about her.
She was paralyzed with terror, and
made a desperate effort to Shrek for
assistance but divining her intent the
fellow cla7ped his hands over her
mouth and dragged her back. AS she
slipped he struck her on the mouth
several times.
The man dragged her toward some
bushes, holding her closely. She fought
him inch by inch, and her clothing
was completely torn from her body,
and her arms and legs were bruised
in her struggle.

the ground, and she felt her senses
leaving her; but when 1t seemed that

RATS IN HIS ATTIC.
Most Peculiar Case Before the State
Department..

Washington, Oct. 9.-Nicholason
Frederickson, claiming to be an Amer
lean citizen, who was seized and i'm
prisoned in Russia, and afterward
made his escape, called at the state
department today in furtherance of
claim for indemnity for illegal arrest.
Frederickson alleges he was born on
shipboard in Persian waters of a Swed-
ish father and half-breed Esquimaux
mother. He resided in Alaska when
the territory was acquired by the Uni
ted States and so became an american
citizen. He was at school in Chicago
during his boyhood and returned there
during the Worlds fair to work as
machinist. At that time he took out
naturalization papers to meet a refusal
by the authorities in Alaska to recog-
nize his citizenship. In Russia last
winter he was arrested and imprisoned
as a deserter. Later he was set free
and kept under surveillance. Again
he was imprisoned, and this time he
managed to escape and make his way
to New York. The impression con-
veyed by the mans story is that he
is suffering from a case of mistaken
identity. He told his story to the
state department officials, but as a mere
statement does not meet the require
ments, he will have to prefer for
NAL complaint before the department
can act in the matter Of securing in
demnity for him.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 9.-The richest
trotting stake ever decided in the
world was that of the Kentucky Flu
turity for S-year-olds, which was trot-
ted this afternoon in the presence of
5000 people.
The weather was clear and cold,
with a slight wind, the track very
fast. OF nine 3-year-olds that faced the
flag, E. W. Ayers chestnut filly Ben
zetta, by Onward, dam Beulah by Har-
old, was the favorite over the field.
She was unlucky enough to draw the
outside position, and acted so badly in
the excessive scoring that it looked as
if Gus May, her driver, would never
get her away. Coming down for the
although she got off in the last bunch,
before a furlong was trotted she was
mistress of the situation. Rich in Ham
bletonian blood, her gait was pure and
faultleSs and without being struck a
lick, she swept past her field of brilli-
ant youngsters, and before the half
mile pole was reached she was leading
by two full lengths. She was never in
ner with four lengths to spare.
The second and third heats were
simply professions, and are not worth
describing, as Benzetta far outclassed
her field.
1t was no trotting at all, and she
won the race easily.
The speedy bay colt F'uturity, by Hin
doc Wilkes, and the colt AXonite, by Ak
tell, made a pretty fight in the second
and third heats for the $4,000, second
money, Celaya having finished second
in the first heat. Hindoo Wilkes colt
proved the speedier of the two and
won second place, while Axonite, al
though finishing third In the second
and third heats, lost the $1,000 that
went to the third horse, it being given
to Celaya, chestnut FLY by Allandor
T.
Nellie, A, the sensational Wilkes bay,
which up to today had won more
money than any FLY of her age in
the world, disappointed her hackers by
failing to get piece of the money.
The unfinished 2:26 class from yester-
day was won by Josie Allen quite
cleverly. The first regular race in the
programme, the 2:14 class, was red
hot contest, Billy Bolton taking the
first two heats, Wistful the third and
Token the fourth.
The fourth and last race for the 2:1S
class, pacing, was unfinished, the fav-
orite, Pattie D, winning both heats de-
cidedly easy. Summary:

woULDN,T HANG HIM.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-After pleading
guilty to charge of murder, Granville
N. Hackley was discharged last even
ing by Judge Chestlain. The court
directed that a nolle PROSE- be entered
and Hackley walked out Of court free.
Hackley, who was a barber in a shop
on State street, cut Aaron B. Bright,
another barber, on the arm with a
razor. Bright was taken to hospital
and died.
When the case was called Hackley
entered a plea Of guilty. Judge Chef
lain said that the evidence showed that
Hackley had acted in self defense.
Bright was shown to have threatened
to kill Hacl1ley and the day of the
tragedy he entered the barber shop in
order to attack Hackley. The court
learned that Bright bled to death and
that no proper effort was made to stop
the flow of blood after Hackley cut
him. The court held that there was
lacking all the elements which go to
sustain a charge of murder and despite
the plea of the prisoner the court could
not punish him.
