a bold attempt at a criminal assault upon
a young lady was made by white man
Wednesday night in the resort at Congress
Heights now called Wilson Park, better
known as Pencote woods. Occurring, as 1t
did. but short distance from the pleasure
ground, which, as usual, was crowded with
hundreds of people, the affair occasioned
the greatest excitement, in the midst of
which the would-be assailant made his es-
cape. The police at Anacostia made every
effort to apprehend him the same night
but were unsuccessful.
Policeman W. E. Owens, who was on the
Congress Heights beat at the time of the
occurrence, has been specially detailed to
investigate the case while the detective
office is making strenuous efforts in the
same direction, it is stated. 1t has been
the endeavor of the police to keep the
matter quiet, and it was not until yester-
day that any of the facts became known
Inc name and address of the young lady
are in possession of the police and are not
nkeiy to be divulged at the present time.
III is stated that she resides on 9th street
northwest She had gone over to Congress
Heights on the electric cars in company
with an escort. She was introduced to the
man whose acquaintance the police would
now IKE so much to make, and they
danced several times together on the ma
Villon. The fellow finally asked the young
lady to show him where the pump was To-
Gated. and as she said she would they
walked away together.
Threatens With a Revolver.
Nhat occurred near the pump was gath
ereu from the hysterical young lady after

head and she was told if she made an out
cry she would be killed. The fellow acted
IN manner that left no doubt as to his in

scription of the man, and was working on
the case yesterday. 1t is said the police do
not know the mans name. despite the fact
that in some manner he obtained an intro

ish way. The policeman told me about
the cars, and yesterday when L hoped on
the car he arrested me-
IF he warned you about jumping on the
cars said the judge, why didn't you

pose desired. What the police want is to
break up the practice"
