ESCAPED A
ROUE'S GRASP
But Miss Flynn Lost Her
Life in Doing So.
RASCAL UNDER ARREST.
He CoolIy Admitted His Intentions
Toward the Girl.
RASCAL UNDER ARREST.
THREATS MADE AGAINST HIM.

The arraignment OF III. c. Schooley OF
San Francisco at Westerly this morn
ing, charged with a violent assault
with intent to ravish. upon Miss Maria
A. Flynn, disclosed the facts OF SEN
sational drowning at Ocean Pier,
the woman mentioned in the charge
against Schooley was the victim.
From the evidence obtained by the
authorities ii appears that the young
woman, who was employed at the
Ocean House as a laundress, met
Schooley yesterday afternoon. An APP
pointment was made to meet again in
the evening, and the arrangement was
carried out. At about l0:40 o'clock In
the evening the attention OF guest at
the Larken House was attracted tow
ards the pier by the sound OF words ut
tered in a pleading tone. The voice,
which was that of a woman, was husky
as If a hand had been placed over the
mouth to deaden the sound.
A CRY FOR HELP.
For half an hour or so the tones were
heard at intervals. Finally there was
a scream, Save met and splash.
Those who heard IL rushed out, but
before they could be of assistance the
life saving crew appeared in their boat
and the body of the girl was soon
found, but 1t was too late to save her
life. She was 20 years of age, and her
home is believed to be in New York.
The life saving men had been sum-
moned by Schooley himself, who made
no attempt to conceal the fact that he
was with Miss Flynn on the pier He
also admitted that his purpose in meet
ing her was OF nature TO warrant the
charge to which he was called upon to
answer in court this morning.
sCHooLEY's STORY.
His story was to the effect that when
Miss Flynn rejected his proposal he at
tempted to use force. The girl resisted
vigorously, scratching schooley's face
deeply and nearly strangling him by
drawing his necktie tight. Suddenly,
however, she abandoned the struggle,
and without waning sprang away
from the man and with scream
jumped from the pier.
AS soon as he heard her strike the
water, Schooley ran for the life savers.
They responded as quickly as possible,
and as it was fioodtjde had little diff
Guilty in finding the body.
THREATS WE'RE MADE.
When it was ascertained that the
woman was dead there was great ex-
citement among those who had learned
of the affair and the feeling against
Schooley was not disguised. Threats of
bodily harm were heard on all sides,
but the police who had been informed
of the affair arrived in time to protect
the man from any violence that might
have been offered and he was hurried
to the station here.
Schooley is trick bicycle rider When
arraigned this morning, he pleaded nolo
and was held in 5000 for the October
term of the court OF common pleas. Not
being able to furnish bail he was taken
to Kingston jail. The district attorney
appealed in vain for a much heavier
bail than that in which the prisoner
was held. The district attorney states
that a more serious charge may be
brought against the prisoner and an
autopsy on the girls body has been or
dered.

A large part OF the time was consumed
in the general discussion of the measures
being taken to place the navy on a proper

The question of the purchase of war

what price. was talked over, but without
coming to any definite conclusion on
any new propositions. 2nlc
Information to the government is to the
effect that up to this time. Spain has NOT
