great king of Wall street. Jay Gould.
Her great aim in life seems to be tc
find out: how much she can benefit
mankind bysthe great fortune LEI
by the death of her father. An st.
ern weekly has this to say of her:
Helen Gould, like the majority oil
sincerely charitable people, hates no
toriety. Her wishes that her benevo-
lenee should be unnoticed are not hon
ored by the newspapers, however.
But while she cannot prevent press
comments on her good deeds, she has
taken steps to stop the reproduction OF
her photographs. A we'll known pho.
tographer said day or two ago that,
outside of professional people. she is
the only private individual whom. he

wagon shop where he works. He had returned
after the usual hours to look after some partic-
ular work. As soon as he entered tho shop a
man leapod at him from behind a wagon and
began to beat him with the spoke of n wheel.
Windley has passed the prime of life and was
unable to beat Off his assailant. who rained
blows on his head with the heavy spoke. The
old man was quickly beaten to the floor.
s he fell he clutchod for something to break
his fall and grasped his assailant's right hand.
Ho gave 1t n good squeeze. There was just
enough light in tho shop for him to see the form
of his assailant before he became unconscious.
When he regained consciousness Windley
dragged himself into the Office and telephoncd
to Police Headquarters. From the description
given by Windley tho police arrested Eugene
Stauffer at his home on Cameron place on sus-
picion Of being the assailant. windley was
taken home and a surgeon was summoned to
attend him. His scalp was badly lacorated and
his shoulders were bruised, but he was not
dangerously hurt.
This morning Stauffer demanded his release.
declaring that, he knew nothing of tho assault
on, w lnuiey. When the detectives visited the
old man they found him still confined to his
bed. Windley repeated the first description he
had. given of his assallant and added that he
could identify him by feeling his hand. De-
tectiyc McGrail arranged to have half n dozen
men at Wipdley,s home about noon. Aus~ng
the six was .Stauffer. Windlcy was blindfolded
and was Obliged to cover his head with the bod
clothes, Only his right hand was uncovered.
The old man did not know that StRuffer was
among those upon whom the experiment was to
be tried. The mon were admitted to his bed
room one at q time. As he grasped each mans
hand he, felt it carefully. evidently taking note
OF each joint and apparently searching for scars
and Irregularities.
Four mcn had been ee>mined in this manner
without result. As tho 9Th mans hand grasped
his Windley gave a start. He examined this
hand with greater care than the others after his
Weak as he . as. Windley grasped the hand
with a powerful grip. threw Off the bed cover
ings. and tore the bandage from his eyes, cx-
laiming THAT Is the man. know 1t is" He
had hold Of Stauffer's hand.
Police Justice Hetfeld took Windley's depo-
sition, charging Stauffer with attempting to kill
him. Windley explained to the police that he
was positive In his Identification because Of a
certain scar on the index finger of his assailant's
hand. Staufer was taken back to Police Head
quarters and held under bail to await the result
of Windley's injuries. The prisoner says Wind
ley is mistaken in his Identification, and that
he can easily prove an alibi.
