Thrilling Experiences of Two Girls While
Keturnlng Home From Work.

George Seeney. colored, aged about
Is years. living on du Point street be.
tween Lancaster avenue and Second
street. was arraigned in the City Court
yesterday on the charge of assault
ing Annie and Frances. Conroy, white
girls, aged 16 and IS years, respectively,
with intent to commit rape.
Frances Ccuroy testified that about
ESQ o'clock Tuesday night she and her
sister were going from the factory of
the Ford Morocco Co.,, where thoy
work, to. their home, at Sixth avenue
and Duncan street. While crossing
lots near Union street and a'IIancaster
avenue, they saw the young. pegro
hiding in the bushes and acting ID
suspicious manner. Fearing.'he might
attack them the younger girl picked
up stick for protection. He attacked
Frances, catching her by the throat
and evidently attempting to throw her
down. Annie caught hold of him and
after pulling sleeve out of his shirt
succeeded in beating him off with tho
club. She knocked him down an enl-
bankment and as his hat fell off the
girls took charge of the hat and also
tho sleeve which had been torn out.
The negro was evidently afraid of the
girls by this time and told them that
If they would return his hat he would
let them alone. They refused to give
up the hat. The girls then got away
from the negro and he ran from them.
The testimony was corroborated. by the
younger girl. =
Detective Money said he and
Sergeant Bayley arrested Seeney at
his fathers house. The boy admitted
the truth ofsthe story told by the girls,
but would not intimate what his pur-
pose was. zst ss.y y. ii.
The case was continued and the boy
locked up to give an opportunity for
further Investigation. Although the
girls were pretty badly frightened at
the time. neither was much hurt.
The. affair happened only few yards
from the place where Katie DugaD was
murdered few years ago.
