ASSAULTED IN A HALL.
Nellie Doyle's Screams Caused
Mahoney's Arrest.
She Declares She Was Maltreated
by Two Men.
The Prisoner Showed Fight, but
Weakened at q Revolver.

Nellie Doyle, a pretty brunette, OF
twenty years. living with her mother at
1873 Second Avenue, was on the verge OF
insanity this morning as she was ar
raigned before Justice Taintor, at the
forkville Police Court. She said she
had been the victim OF an outrage at
the hands of two men, one of whom was
captured. He proved to be James Ma
honey. twenty-one years Old. OF sos East
Twenty-second street.
Nellie was very much dazed and told
a very rambling story of her experience.
From what could be learned. she is a
salesgirl in the employ OF Hilton,
Hughes e. Co.
At o'clock this morning, as Police
man Henry +. Koran, Of the East
Twenty-second street squad, was pa
trolling his post along First avenue, he
heard a woman Shrek. "Help!' Help
"Police!"
The cries rang through the neighbor-
hood and brought many OF the residents
to the windows. Koran traced the cries
as coming from the direction of Twen-
ty-tlrst street. Hurrying there, he found
Nellie standing in front of No. 404,
wringing her hands and crying as
though her heart was broken. Her
clothing was torn and soiled, and her
hair was dishevelled.
She SAID that two men had assaulted
her In the hallway In front of which
she was then standing.
AT this moments NJ ahoney came rushing
out OF the house and ran towards Sec
on avenue. On catching sight Of him she
shouted:
Catch him! He is one of my assail-
ants"
Koran gave chase, and, drawing his
revolver. as the fugitive reached the
corner OF Second avenue and Twenty.
second street, cried:
Stop, or. I'll send bullet through
your headv'
Mahoney was taken back to Twenty
first street, where Nellie was still shout
ing and crying. She had aroused almost
everybody on the block, and they fiocked
out Of the houses and surrounded her.
When the policeman reappeared with
Mahoney in custody the girl positively
identified him as one of the men who
had assaulted her.
Both were then taken to the station.
Mahoney was recognized by the police
as a tough and burglar. He has been
frequently arrested. On her charge OF
assault he was locked up. She was de-
talned for the night by the matron.
All night long she sobbed but when
taken to court she seemed to brighten
up and laughed in hysterical manner
Mahoney denied knowing anything OF
the girl. Justice Taintor committed the
prisoner to enable the police to have
the girl examined.

We strolled across the grass where the
yew-trees cast strange black shadows
over the mounds and tombstones, and up
the aisle to the chapel. where. behind a
carved oak screen, and under their cam
opies of marble. lay the effigies Of two
knights and lady. The moonlight
poured down on them in all the splcnIor
Of cloudless night in June, and the
fickering shadow of a branch outside
played weirdly over the face of one gi-
gantic figure carved in full armor.
"Queer-looking old chap. isn't her"

at much. He was an awful brute In the
old days, you know, when the ruin on

villagers say he visits II once year still.
He would be buried standing up, and
no one dared to disobey him, even when
he was dead; 80, down in the vault, his
coffin stands on end, with a hole In the

KEPT DOGS ON THE ROOF.
Rnphael's NeighbOrs Protested and
He Removed Them.

The white-winged Angel Of Peace has
descended on the block on Waverley
place, in which No. 100 Is located. all
because two frolicsome terriers, who
are charged with having made night
hideous with their playful barking,
have been removed.
The terriers are owned by c. Raphael,
who rents apartments in the house
from Mr.. Moher, the owner. and during
the past few weeks the CANNES have
lived on the tin roof. 1t was thought
that everybody liked the dogs until
some sufferer" claiming to speak for
several like himself, printed a circular
calling on his neighbors to arouse and
hold Indignation meetings against the
dogs.
The circulars were distributed broad
cast, and one of them fell into the hands
Of Mr.. Raphael. Naturally, he was in
dignant, but in order to avoid further
trouble he took the CANNES to his store
on Greene street to-day.
