gin, the six-year-old daughter of Chas
Mangin, of No. 40 Park avenue, VINO
has been seriously i'll since her terrible
experience the latter part of June, when
she alleges she was brutally assaulted
by Walter Squirrel, a young coiored man,
was able to sit up in her bed fer a snort
time yesterday. The attending physician
now has hopes for her recovery, al
though she may be a sufferer the bal
ance of her life.
The strain on her nervous system has
developed into a partial paralysis OF
her left arm and hand. Interest in the
case seelns to grow instead of diminish
ing. and all Gay yesterday groups OF
men, ten, twenty, fifty and a hundred,
were noticed on the corners of the streets
discussing the affair. The excitement
was caused by a report that Squirrel
had been captured in Gloucester City
and that Constable Nicholson had been
seen to get on a car with the man
| strongly handcuffed. and also hat the
eolored man had been fully identified.
Business was suspended and all that
could be heard was the inquiry:-"Have
| they got SQUIRREL"
