Armed Men Searching for Mrs. Halls
AssatlAnt.
The residents of Prince Georges county,
Md, near the District line, are greatly eX-
cited over an attempt made Saturday by
an unknown colored man to murder Mrs.
Grace Hall, respectable colored woman
living with her husband John Hall, in that
neighborhood. and a large number Of the
citizens, headed " Gonstables Suit and
Grimes have, since-the affair became
known, been searching for the miscreant
in the most vigorous manner.
Although the crime was committed about
10 o'clock in the morning, and it was sup
posed that Mrs. Halls assailant went
towards Anacostia. no word was sent to
the substation until nearly o'clock in the
afternoon, by which time the fellow had
gotten a good start and is now probably
out of reach of arrest by either the Prince
Georges county or District officers
When first discovered, Mrs: Hall was I'M
conscious, although before she lost sensi-
bility she managed bydler screams of muir
der, &c, to attract the attention Of a num-
Der of persons. who FASTENED to her as
sistance, but did not reach her home until
after the man had left

ing his face covered with bumps, and car
rying a gun on his shoulder knocked at
the door. She opened 1t, when the man
showed past her and walked in the room,
and demanded to be given something to
eat. Mrs. Hal then for the first time no.
ticed the gun. and at once gave the fellow
good breakfast. In little while the in
truder began to make insulting proposals
to Mrs. Hall, and when the latter resented
his remarks he jumped at her and beat her
over the head and arms, injuring the for
mer in a shocking manner and breaking
enc of the latter.
Medical aid was summoned as soon as
the woman was discovered. The upfortu-
nate woman was made comfortable as
possible, but at last accounts she was re-
garded as in very precarious condition.
One Suspect.
A eolored man who gave his name as
George Ward was arrested this morning
while begging in Anacostia. on suspicion of
being the party wanted for the assault on
Mrs. Hall, but on being taken to the Ana
costa substation he easily established an
alibi, and was released.
