When be asked her II she knew who struck
her, she made no reply and began crying.
George Ennis, the tramp who was arrested
on account Of statements made hy kremm
that he saw him near the scene OF the out
rage, was discharged. AS regards Ormon,

picion Of his guilt.
Either in delirium or while talking in

name which her attendants believe to be
that Of her mysterious assailant Of week
ago. It was the single word Harry
One Of the special nurses on guard in
Miss BarrowcliiTe's room in the Jersey
City hospital heard the sick girl stirring
uneasily in her bed. Presently, in a low,
appealing voice, Miss BarrowclifIe said
"Harryl Oh, God, lIarryw There was a
moments silence, broken by moan from
the bed and a somewhat louder repetition
of the name Harry" The nurse APP
preached the bed and found Miss Barrow
cliffe apparently wide awake and weeping
silently. She spoke no more until House

"Upt date, said superintendent Smith,

Robbery Not the Motive.
A careful consideration of the case has
led the police TO believe that robbery was
not the motive which led to the crime. II
the assailant was tramp who did not
know Miss Barrowclille, the robbery wa.
incidental
If, as the police believe the attack wa.
made by man with whom she was ac
quainted, the robbery was only an attempt
TO lessen the possibility Of detection.
Warden Osborne made public some new
facts regarding Miss Barrowcliife's mother
who found the daughter she supposed dead
long ago through the publicity given the
case. IL seems from Mrs Barrowcliile's
| guarded statement TO the warden that she
had some suspicion that the story of her
daughters death was untrue. When she
visited the hospital, Mrs. Barrowcliffe de-
clined TO give her address, but said she
would learn her daughters condition from
the newspaper reports and would not re
turn TO the hospital for some days unless
the patients illness assumed a more seri
Gus phase.
