To Parents.

The only way 1 have of catching
your ear is through the newspapers,
so | shall ask you to please assist
me in impressing upon your boys
and girls the great necessity of
being prompt and business-like in
all of their school work. The
teacher alone cannot direct all the
actions of his pupils. The parents
should look after them at home and
see that they make their school
work primary to everything else.

criminal assault, and last night the war
rant was served upon him in the prison,
and he was booked on the charge. He de-
clined positively to make any statement
and scowled Indignantly at his ques-
TONERS.
Florence Ready's statement is as follows:
l first became acquainted with this man
Lewis about nine months since. 1t is Gus
tomary at the Epworth League for all to shake
hands with each other. In this manner be-
came acquainted with Lewis.
| never went to any place with him alone,
not even to walk upon the streets. He never
exercised any undue familiarity, with me in
reference TO conversations or led me TO thin
he thought any different of me than any other
OF the members. Up to Monday night we had
only been on speaking terms.
On Monday evening Lewis came to the LIN
coin School about O'Clock. He said to me
that he had been waiting Tor me about fifteen
minutes and had asked Mrs. Deal for me. He
told me that Mrs. Captain Goodall was very
sick and that she wanted me to come to her
at once. He told me that not having found me
at the school when he first came. that he had
driven out to my mothers house and seen her
and that my mother sent word back with him
Upon that assurance l went with him, first
getting excused from school by Mrs. Deal in
presence OF Miss Kate Crowley.
After getting i'll the buggy he told me that
Mrs. Goodall was in Menlo Park. ! asked him
''Where is Menlo Park?' and he replied, "a lit
tie beyond San Mateo' After driving through
Several streets and getting into the park, |
asked him why we were going that way, and
he said the road out the Mission was too rough,
and by going this way we would save at least
fifteen minutes.
From Strawberry Hill we went out by the
Almshouse, afterward passed the Ingleside on
down the ROAD TO the beach, turning to the left
hand on the beach, driving about half or three
quarters of mile to where two large sand hills
are He said to me then that we would have
TO walk up the hill, and we got out of the
buggy.
Miss Ready then went on to describe the
assault upon her. She screamed for help,
but in such lonely place no help came.
On their return to the City, when they got
hallway to the Ingleside, he stopped
the horse and again attempted to assault
her.
Just then" she continued, t'two bug
gies drove up behind US and he jumped
into the buggy, caught up the lines, started

by the borrower.

plan the taxes would be reduced to q very

the borrower would be required 10 pay a

The Fiend's Young Victim Tells
a Pitiful Story of the
Wrong Done Her.
THREATENED WITH a KNIFE
Second Assault and Probably Murder
Prevented by the Timely Ap.
pearance of Mr.. Foy.

Six hours after the publication in yester-
days CALL of Wesley 7. Lewis cowardly
assault on an innocent young girl the man
was behind the bars of the Central police
station. He was sullen, even defiant, re-
fusing positively to talk of his crime
1t is probably we'll, temporarily at least,
that he was not captured earlier. Sunday
afternoon Herbert Ready a brother OF the
young girl, made visit to Oakland. He
had heard that Lewis was in hiding in a
certain hotel in that city.
Ready was not alone, however. In off
ferent parts of the boat some fifty of his
friends were scattered, and when the Oak
land side was reached they boarded the
Oakland train in twos and thTees, finally
gathering at the hotel as if by accident.
A thorough search of the hotel was then
made, but Lewis was not to be found.
The supposiTion is that he got wind of the
unwelcome coming OF his visitors, and
changed quarters. 1t is safe to assume
however, that if be had been caught the
Citv and County of San Francisco would
have been saved an expensive trial.
There are those who think that Lewis
fully intended to murder the girl and was
onlv prevented by the opportune appear
ance of MIR. Foy. the liveryman. The
scene of the first assault was not the spot
for a murder. There was no place to hide
the body.
Under some pretext he induced the
child to again enter the buggy. She was
solemnly promised an immediate escort
home When near MERGED Lake, however,
Lewis pulled MP his horse abruptly. He
drew a long, keen knife and asked the
girl to help him cut flowers.
The bright blade was reflected in the
cold, glitteung waters below, and in that
very brightness Florence seemed to read
her death warrant. With a shrek she
sprang up and over the dash board. She
was none too soon. Lewis made a lunge
forward, the keen point of the knife catch
ing his intended victim dress just back of
the shoulder, ripping it down to beyond
the waist.
What might have followed will never
probably be known, as Foy appeared on
the scene at that instant, thus probably
saving the girls life.
When the story was read in THE CALL at
police headquarters yesterday morning
Captain Lees gave peremptory instruc-
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-06-02
tons TO his staff that Lewis must be found

tons 10 his staff that Lewis must be found
without further delay.
To Detective Cody and Policeman J. s.
Adams is due the credit of Lewis capture
a couple of hours later and when they
reached police headquarters with their
prisoner both officers were complimented
by Chief Crowley and Captain Lees.
Lewis and his wife had been living at 407
Octavia street, but on Thursday last the
furniture in the house was removed to 129
Fair Oaks street. Mrs. Lewis took posses
sion of the house, while Lewis went to
Oakland, where he remained in hiding
The house on Fair Oaks street was watched
day and night, but no one was seen to
leave or enter. To carry out the decep-
ton that the house was not occupied the
sign Ito let' was kept on the wall.
Yesterday morning about 1890 O'Clock
Detective Cody and Policeman Adams
went TO the Fair Oaks-sireet house
and forced an entrance. They found
Lewis concealed in one OF the closets and
at oace placed him under arrest. He had
crossed over from Oakland after seeing the
story in THE CALL TO make arrangements
for secretly leaving the City, but his in
tentions were baked.
The girl Florence Ready was immedi-
ately sent for, and accompanied by her
mother went to police headquarters to
identify Lewis. They had an instructive
dread of facing him and preferred TO wait
till the girls brother, Herbert Ready,
could be sent for. He arrived about 2
o'clock, and as he had threatened to take
the law into his own hands the officers
kept careful watch upon him.
The mother, daughter and son, accom-
panied by the two officers, went 20 the
City Prison. Lewis was placed alongside
three other prisoners, and the girl at once
pointed him out as her assaiiant Herbert
Ready. who was laboring under strong ex-
element, sprang forward as if 10 grapple
with the man. but he was restrained by
Cody and Adams from doing personal vio-
lence.
Afterward the girl swore to com plant
before Judge Conlan, charging Lewis with

asking them to take me home. l explained
to them what had occurred and Mr.. Foy,
one OF the gentlemen, brought me home

Eat the school, before starting, 1 wanted
to go home to get wrap, but he objected

This is not the first time that Lewis has
been in similar scrape. On January 8,
1892, he was sentenced to sixty days in
the County Jail for an attempt to Grimm
