building in running an elevator. The boy
was also awakened, but before he could
reach his mothers room the assailant had
escaped.
POLICE INVESTIGATE.
When the police were notified Captain
Hyland. with number of patrolmen went
to the place, but could get little informa-
ton from Mrs. Whitaker or her daugh-
ter that might disclose the identity of the
man who had assaulted them. The po-
lice were of opinion from the talks they
had with Mrs. Whitaker that she knew
perfectly well who struck her and injured
her daughter, but was unwilling to d.
vulge his name.
The police, after returning TO the po-
lice station with but slight clew TO work
on, gave the matter TO the detective de-
partment Detectives Kinney and Nor
gan were assigned to the case. They
worked throughout the day and when
they reported last night they said they
suspected Alfred Burris, roomer at the
home of Mrs. Whitaker. The detectives
said they found that Mrs. Whitaker and
Burris had long been intimate friends.
Burris, they said, had been rooming at the
same room rs Leslie Whitaker. Burris
was not at home In the early part OF
Wednesday night. The motive was not rob-
berry, they think. Burris, they said, was in
tent on assaulting the little girl, when her
screams attracted the attention of the
mother, who to her assistance. The
man then choked the girl into insensibi-
ity
Mrs. Whitaker was questioned to
the probability of Burris being the man
who had assaulted her and her daughter,
and from her evasive words it appeared
that she was trying to shield him from
the law The woman said she knew Bur-
ris well and he had roomed with her She
said she gave him IS one day last week with
which he was to pay the rent on a new
house that the family was to occupy. Bur-
ris, instead Of paying the rent, converted
the money 10 his own use spending IL
mainly for liquor. Mrs. Whitaker said
she had asked Burris several times to re-
fund the money but he was unable to do
it. she then told him she would have him
arrested. She said Burris saw her Wednes-
day afternoon walking south on Alabama
street, when she was going to the City Dis
pensary to have her sore hand dressed, and
he was of opinion that she was going TO
swear out warrant for him. When asked
by Detectives Kinney and Morgan If 1t
were likely that Burris assaulted her be-
cause he was afraid he would be arrested
Mrs. Whitaker denied the question fatty.
, Notwithstanding all denials of Mrs. Whit
taker that Burris is the guilty man, the de-
tectives feel certain that he committed the
assault.

and his friends, but 1t Is taken as an indi-
cation that Taggart Is going to enter the
lists actively and fight for Bell early and
late. Taggart said, however, that he did
not expect to pay much attention to the
local campaign. his time is too largely
occupied with his French Lick enterprise.
II shall take part, of course" he said,
but / can't give much time to Ii. It's
early yet, anyhow, to be thinking about the
city campaign"
Reference was made TO a recent interview
given out by Mr.. Taggart which has been
bruited about a boom for David Il. Hill,
of New York, for the Democratic nomina-
ton for President, and he laughed and said:
Yes, IL has attracted a good deal of at
tention, but so far as l am able to judge
most of the people who saw il read only
the headlines and did not go down into the
body of the interview. I've had two or
three dozen letters from different parts of
the country from men who said they were
with me in booming Hill. / answered them
all, suggesting that they read little bit
more than the headlines of the interview.
Several of them replied that they saw the
difference between the headlines and the
interview, ana then added that they were
with me anyhow"
Mr.. Taggart intimated that in spite of the
constructions that were placed on the in
terview he did not wish to pose as the
leader OF movement to throw Indiana to
Hill in the next Democratic national con-
vention. Then. when he was asked whom
he did favor as a presidential possibility,
he smiled the old Taggart smile and turned
the subject back to French Lick.
I'm going down to French Lick to-mor-
row." he said. Come down and spend Sun
day and I'll have time to talk politics. I'm
too busy
