NEGRO BURGLAR
ALMOST MURDERS LADY VICTIM
WHEN DISCOVERED.
WAS GIVING HER CHL0R0FORM.
Valuable Jewels Were His Object
Second Visitation of CrooAs at
The House.

Chicago, Nov. ia negro burglar
forced his way TO the apartments of Mrs
Orrin w. Potter. wife of a millionaire
steel man and banker, in her home. 1S0
Lake Shore Drive, shortly after o'clock
this morning and when discovered in the
act of app ying sponge saturated with
chlorofoIm to the nostrils of his victim,
struck her a fierce blow on the head
With a slug shot. The shock of the blow
rendered Mrs. Potter unconscious. and
the doctors. who were called, fear that
she may not recover. just before being
struck, Mrs. Potter reused the whole
household with a shril cry for lRlp. Mr..
Potter is out of the city. Mrs. Potters
daughters. Miss Margaret and Miss Bes-
sic. heard their mothers screams for
hep ani rushed to her bed chamber.
When they saw the robher they fled into
the street ana called for help.
The rohber fed as soon the young
women began screaming in the street.
After he had gone, the daughters re-
turned to the house, called a physician
for their m 2ther and then notified the
police of what had happened.
This is the second burglary in the Pot
ter residence since last spring. In April
the intruder was frightened away be-
fore he had secured anything. When the
police arrived they found Mrs. Potter
still unconscious. Blood was streaming
from her head and by the side OF the
bed was found a small bottle labeled
'Chloroforn.' The police believe that
they have an important clew in the label
on the bottle. as they hope to get q defi-
mite description of the man who pur-
chased the drug.
Miss Margaret Potter was also over
come by the shock she received when
the robber threatened her and through
fear of her mothers condition it was
necessary to give her medical attention.
Had not Mrs. Potter been awakened by
the robber, it is thought that he would
have succeeded in securing many thons-
and dollars worth of jewelry. Her room
is away from the rest of the members
Of the family, and it is thought he would
have been able to work unmolested.
Mrs Potter revived long enough to
give a description of her assailant. but
again lost consciousness. She said she
thought the man was wearing a mask
and he looked like a negro He was about
so years old and wei dressed.
