MASKED MEN.
They Called at Mrs. Hollands House
and Assaulted Her.
Struck Her on Head With a Club and
Severely Hurt Her.

AT 11:10 o'clock last evening two
masked men called at the home of Mrs.
John Holland, 124 Gray street and
knocked on the door. Mrs. II olland opened
q window and asked Who was there. One
OF the men replied that they were police
men and wanted John Holland. At the
same time one OF them struck Mrs. Hol-
land on the head with a club, with
sufficient force to knock her down. Her
son, hearing the noise, ran from the house
to the Chaffee street station and notified
the police. Mrs. Holland shouted, and
this frightened the men away.
A number of policemen were soon on
the scene, but no trace of the robbers
could be found. 1t is a mystery TO Mrs.
Holland and the police why the men
should call at her honse, as they certainly
could not expect to find much money
there. Her husband Is a wool sorter, and
is at present employed in one of the mills
at Lawrence, Mass, and has not been
home for some time. A physician was
called to care for Mrs. Holland, and ii re-
quired several stitches to close up the
wound on her. head that had been made
by the robber.

president OF the company, was arrested
on an indictment charging him with the

try as well as abroad, and the condition
of the company has been fully aired in

tsry OF the company, was sentenced a

Ill by drinking tea which, when analyzed.
proved to contain rough on rats. Ken
nedy denies all knowledge of the matter,
but the police claim to have sufficient
evidence for arresting Kennedy, not only
as regards. Friday nights affair, but also
I'm view Of the evidence which came TO
light yesterday of the sudden aud mys-
terious death of Sylvester Kimball, for
merly In Learoy's employ, W hich occurred
some seven weeks ago. In fact, the latter
evidence is con sidered weighty enough TO
warrant the authorities in exhuming
Kimball's body and submitting the vis-
cera to analysis.
Ihe police arc reticent about the in
formation they hold In regard to the lat.
ter case, but one fact has been disclosed.
That is that while Learoyd was away
from hcme this summer Kimbau wrote
letter to him advising him to return
quickly on account of the actions OF
Kennedy and Mrs. Learoyd. Mr.. Learoyd
did not return, although il has been
openly admitted that Kennedy was dis
charged because OF his admitted in
timacy with his employers wife. Kim
ball's body will be taken from the
ground and an analysis will be made.
Kennedy is a native of Salem and has
been in Danvers about three or four yenrs.
He was arrested once on a charge OF horse
stealing, found guilty and sentenced to
10 months in Jail.
Kennedy was arraigned in the First
District Court at Salem this morning,
and on plea of not guilty was held
under 5000 bail for further hearing

Tho four mbers OF the Learoy d
household who were made i'll by partak-
ing of the poisoned tea are reported as
