SHOT, BEATEN, AND ROBBED.
Young Couple Mystify Long Island
City Police.


New York, June 30.-Mystery surrounds
the identity of a well-dressed young cou-
pie who were accused of attempting to
break into George Bonhag's pavilion, near
North Beach, week ago. and were shot
and terribly beaten before the police took
them in charge. They appeared yesterday
before Magistrate Smith in Long Island
City. They gave the names of William
and Catherine Ferguson. which they ad-
mitted were assumed. The woman, who is
twenty-four years old, wore several valua-
BILE rings
The man said they were married secret
ly, though his fathers will had prohibited
him from marrying the young woman
This, he said, explained the secrecy. He
told the magistrate he was in business in
Nassau Street, Manhattan.
Ferguson and his wife say they went to
Bonhag's place TO get room. Finding it
closed, they knocked at the door. They
were set upon and terribly beaten. Some
one shot Ferguson in the neck.
The man was examined yesterday by DR..
P. J. McKeown. Of Fifth Street. Long Is
land City. The doctor said Ferguson must
have been beaten with a club from head to
foot.
Mrs. Ferguson's shoulders looked as il
she had been repeatedly struck with raw
hide or a flexible steel rod. The physi-
clan declared he never had seen evidences
of such a severe beating as the marks of
the couple afforded. Mrs. Ferguson said
diamond pin worth $3.50 had been taken
from her and that the men who attacked
her cut her fingers in tearing off her rings.
The Long Island City police are trying
to discover the identity Of the couple but
expert shadowers SO far have failed
