 New York, Aug 22.-Three policemen had difficulty last night in rescuing Julius Seibel, motorman, from great crowd of men, women and children who sought revenge on him because his car had crushed the life out of q little girl. When the policemen got to Seibel he was battling as best he could against men and women who were striking at hi mand who probably would have kill ed him if assistance had not arrived.
 SeiDel was the motorman on car No S63 of Madison avenue line last night, when. at 1Olst street. it knocked down Annie Emory. 3 years old, the daugh- ter of a carpenter living in No 22 1O2d stret, cutting off the back of her head.
 The girl left home at o'clock to go around the corner and play. She start ed across Madison avenue, between 1O1st and 1O2d streets. where there is a sharp hill. Car No S63 was coming down town. 1t was not running at a high rate of speed. The girl saw the car, stopped in the middle of the track and then turned around to go back.
 At that moment the car hit her and knocked her down. In another second the forward truck had rolled over her, the wheel cutting off the back of her Iax as Seibel brought the car to stop.
 All the stoops of the houses in the neighborhood were crowded with peo- pie. They ran out into the stret to see, what had happened. When the women and children saw the girls body they shrieked in horror. The next moment some one ran at the motorman. The rest followed. Some one cried, Lynch himw and the cry was taken up by all.
 The motorman seized his controller to defend himself. It was snatched out of his hand. The man who got it tried to hit him on the head. but Seibel dodg- ed. Then a man hit him in the face and a woman tried to scratch his eyes. Other women tried to get at him, and the men struck him again and again. Seibel in desperation struck out right and left. He was pressed back against the car, but fought on. One man fell, but the crowd paid no attention and trampled him under foot The man with the controller struck at Seibel again, but~tlid not hit him. Seibel tried his best to escape, but could not.
 The fighting, yelling and screaming crowd had augmented to 5UO or 6UO when Patrolman Fisher of the East 1O4th stret police station and Proba- tionary Patrolman Costin. who was with him, ran up. They showed the F women out of the way and then fought the men back until they reached SeibeI
 Don't let them get me- begged Seibel. The crowd tried to get at him again, and Fisher yelled:
 Get back and don't come anywhere near us, or you'll get hurtr'
 PatroIman Swirz came up, and the three policemen drove the crowd back and started of with their prisoner. The crowd followed There were cries of "Kill himp' Lynch himT' all the way to the police station, where the policemen rushed their prisoner up the steps and into the house. slamming the door and leaving the disappointed cvrowd outside.
 All this time the body of the girl lay uder the car. It was many minutes before she was thought of and then a man pulled the body out. 1t was not until after the body of the girl was taken out that the father of the child 1earend of the accident
