Rosa Robinson. he has not been appre-
Tended.
TUESDAY afternoon Inspector Holli1herger
sent out kilograms giving full descriP-
ton Of Cam and offering liberal reward
for his capture.
The first reply to these kilograms was
received about 10 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing from Constable Thomas, at Washington
Junct.on, ab.ut forty-five miles from Wash
inguou, stating that unree suspicious men
had lust been arrested at that point.
From the description given tt WAS thought
that one of the men might be Carr
when the telegram regarding the arrest
of the three men at Washington junction
was received Lieut.. Teeple, Of the Second
precinct had consultation with each OF
the five men held as suspects at his station
Charles Baldwin, one or the prisoners
stated to the lieutenant that be thought
that Carr was one Of the men Aecordingto
his statement, Carr and several OF his
oofnpanions mad planned to start for Pitts
burg ami Chicago. and it had been agreed
that several OF them should meet at Wash
ineton Junctian yesterday.
II is understood that Carr had been
contemplating lea wing Washing gton for
several weeks, and that the assault has
tened ms departure. Inspector H1llinber-
ger detailed Detective Boyd to &c to
washington Junction, and he found that
none OF the men was the man wanted
They proved to be four tramps who
left wash Rgton last night and gave their
names as Charles FreaSe, No 600 Spruce
street northwest; George Patterson, $50
Foarth street northwest; James kefer,
40 r street northeast, and James Rob
erlson, East st. Louis
Throughout the city vigilant search
for Carr has been kept up, and detectives
are 1t ,-olk in every section where he
was known TO haunt
Cars hellish work WAS the chief TOPIC
of conversation yesterday and if he is
caught the police had best keep close
eve on mm, as it is said that relatives
and friends are ready 10 take the law
in their own hands.
Little Rosa Robinson was somewhat inn
Droved last night, and DR.. LochbOehier,
who has heen attending her, Now hopes
that she " III recover. 1t Willie long time
how ever. before she VIII regain her health.
All Tuesday night the child was in { Wild

bed. stirling fuTioasiy and crying out,
s-Oh. go away: please let me go Time
and again She repeated this sentence and
seemed 10 stiH Imagine that she was yet
in the hands OF her meroiiess assaIlant
Yesterday however, she was more calm
and her mind was clearer than it has
been at any time since the attack, and
she was consequently able 70 give more
lucid statement Of the circumstances sur
rounding the assault then she has been
in a position TO do heretofore.
Itnow develops that the facts correspond
with those learned by Detective Boyd. that
proharslv the onl Y person in the house at the
time was Cars yaun gest brother, Joseph,
who is eIe-ea years old Fletcher, and
uerhaps some Of the other young men
who were arrested on suspicion Of
knowing something concerning the case.
had been at Cars house during the after
noon. but it is now believed that they left
lust prior TO the assault, probably at the
time Carr started for Robinson's store to
get the milk.
According to the statements of the
brother and the coiored woman, who saw
Carr when he seized Rosa and dragged her
through the back cate and into the house,
Carr as soon as he had gotten inside the
house thrust the lad out into the back
ward and boIted the door against him. Joe
then went away and was not seen again
until about 2 O'Clock yesterday morning,
when two officers went TO the house and
found him there asleep, with n companion,
whom he Lad gotten to stay with him, as
he was afraid TO remain in the house alone.
He was ia ken to No. 2 station-hoHse and
locked Up, but emphatically declared that
he knew nothing further regarding the
outrage, or the whereabouts Of his brother.
his brother, he says, was frequently cruel
to him and at times, since the death OF
their mother, he has not had enough to
eat, and has been kicked and knocked about
for triftnc offenses by his brother and his
drunken companions.
II was doubtless Carr's intention TO kill
the gid after he had committed the out
rage, and it is little short OF miraculous
that she escaped with her life. First be
had seized her violently and pulled her
into the house, then in the struggle he had
brutaly beaten lier and attempted TO
smother her cries by muffling her mouth
when he found thathe could not accomplish
his purpose by coaxing and entreating
thechildtosubInitto to him. ThenHe had taken
her by the hair and dragged her into one
OF the rooms on the second floor and the
spots are to be seen on her head now
where the hair was pulled out by the
roots
After Carr had succeeded and had torn
the girls clothing into tatters, he left
her lying helpless upon the bed. Then
arising. be threatened to kill her If she
told anyone what had happened The
child screamed, whereupon Carr produced
q pistol, and pointing it at his victim, re-
peated his threat. Then s IL determined
10 take no chances of her testifying against
him, he burst out with an oath: well I
might as wei finish il now; III shoot
you If / can find some bullets to put in this
gum"
So saving he withdrew into another room
and vert TO rummaging amid a lot OF
boxes and refuse in search OF cartridges,
when Rosa, taking advantage OF his abb
Eence. wiCh a great effort managed TO
crawl down tie stairs and escaped, run
ming to her home.
As a further evidence of the truth OF the
chld's story and Cars purpose to kill her.
a Times reporter, who yesterday gained
acmittance 10 tie house. found amid the
Ssebris the revolver. an ugly hooking weapon
OF the bulldog pattern, which Carr had
