Miss Matte Lewis, aged about 20
years, an employe of the City Laundry,
who lives with her father on the New
port pike near Folly woods, while on
her way home Tuesday night, noticed a
man following her, he having ridden
on the sans car with her.
After she had passed down Richard
sons hill, he caught her and attempted
to drag her into the woods At the
same time he cut her in two places
with knife
John Richardson, who was driving
out the pike, saw the man running
after the young woman and invited her
to 60 with him in the carriage. She
was about TO do 50, when the man
caught her and pulled her out, and
they rolled in the ditch together.
The brute was frightened, however,
and released his hold and ran away.
Mr. Richardson drove Miss Lewis to
her home and Detectives McVey and
Witsil were notified.
Shortly afterward the man was ar
rested by Officers Riley and Purcell
in this city. He was locked up at the
police station.
He gave the name of William Foster.
1t is said he had been employed as a
watehman at the Oxy- Hydrogen gas
plant, and also that he had been in
trouble before.
Miss Lewis is not seriously hurt.
