SAD STORY OF BRUTALITY
Hungarian Woman Tortured
On Farm Near Spokane.
ONE MASS OF CUTS AND BRUISES
Accused OF Stealing Several Hundred
Dollars From Her Employer and
Then Beaten TO Make Her Confess.

Then Beaten TO Make Her Confess.
Spokane, Wash, oct. l3.-Marie
Vovaid, Hungarian woman, unable
to speak English, tells story of bru-
tality which is unparalleled in the
city's history. She came to Spokane
several months ago, and was induced to
go 70 the farm of one Lombard, living
ten miles from town, to cook. When
she reached the place, Lombardi COM
PEELED the woman to be his mistress,
she says, and also the mistress of
others about the place. Lombardi's
barn was burned few nights after the
woman arrived, and he claims several
hundred dollars in bills and silver were
stolen. The woman was accused of
theft by another man, whose name can
not be learned. To force the woman
to tell the whereabouts of the money,
Lombardi used a penknife to jab her
in the face, and, according to the
womans story, he jumped on her
stomach and brutally kicked her.
An unknown employe walked her in
the middle or the night and forced her
TO go to the place several miles dis.
tant, and tried to make her tell where
the money was supposed to be hidden.
The woman had not stolen the money
and says the last assailant abused her
even more shamefully than the first.
She is in such a condition that she can.
not be moved from the house. Her
head is one mass of cuts, and her
body, from neck down, is black and
blue. Her neck shows the marks Of
fingers, where one Of her brutal as.
sallants clutched her by the throat.
The authorities so far have not moved
IN the matter. The woman was visited
today by reporter, who took her story,
and the women of Spokane will prob.
ably take care of the case.
