OF plaintiffs testimony. Then Mr.. Better
worth portrayed her opportunities TO ele-
vAts herself n Washington; how abe should
have shrunk from continuing life Of
shame With a man with wife and family.
Mr.. ButterWorth argued that verdict
against his client la this case would be ONLY
haarant instance Of yicarious punish-
meut.
Miss Poiisrd's testimony, he said. implied
that a woman Of corrupt life. who, from

the woman knew OF that secret marriage In

MOB THREATENS BElLACCO.
Police Had to Protect a Girls
Alleged Assailant.
Child's Mother Tried to Attack Him
with Razor.

The arrest of Salvador Bellacco, an
Italian shoemaker. Of Schenck and Bel
mont avenues, Brooklyn, last night was
all that saved him from being lynched
by an enraged mob. This morning he
was arraigned in the Gates Avenue Court
on the charge Of assaulting six-year-old
May Cherry, of Schenck avenue.
Last night the little girl went to Bel
lacco's shop to get a pair Of shoes which
had been left to be repaired. According
to her statement the shoemaker abused
her. The child escaped as soon as she
could, and ran home, where she was at
tended by DIR. Hartman, of Jerome ave-
nue.. He found that she was In serious
condition.
The police were notified. and Detective
Sergt. Anderson arrested Bellacco. When
Mrs. Cherry learned Of the treatment
TO which her daughter had been subject
ed she armed herself with her husbands
razor, and started to take vengeance on
Bellacco.
She met the officers with their prison
err, and made a furious attack upon him.
In this he was aided and abe,ted by
some Of the neighbors. who had been
reused to a pitch Of fury by the girls
story.
With considerable difficulty the officers
lodged their prisoner in the Liberty
avenue station. He was arraigned be-
fore Justice Goetting this morning. and
went 70 Raymond Street Jail in default
Of $1,000 ball.
