WASHER AT HIS OLD TRICKS.
Brooklyn wife Badly Scared by . Man
Once Very Near state Prison.


This is the story Of the way in which
a masher who became notorious several
years ago through a criminal court case
has come out In the open again and has
caused all sorts Of trouble to a young
Brooklyn woman.
The man in the case was arrested not so
very many years ago on thc complaint
Of a young woman Tho said he had assaulted
her and he had a very narrow escape from
a long term in prison. After he had got
OF he paraded in public as much as he could
and especially before women. One OF his
favorite tricks was to frequent the shop
ping district and TO ogie the women and TO
try to strike up an acquaintance with shop
girls. Ii IL not on record that he ever re-
formed.
The young Brooklyn woman who is the
most recent victim OF his attentions was
married only a few weeks ago to clerk
in a downtown Office in Manhattan.
few days ago she came over the Bridge TO
zee why a desk that her husband had or
dercd from a furniture house had not been
delivered and soon after leaving Park
row she became confused as TO the locality.
Quite naturally she questioned the first
person she saw and. according 20 the story
as it has come to THE Sun. that person was
the notorious masher. He politely told
her where the place was that she was look
ing for and after she had started there
trailed along behind her and managed 10
reach the store just as she gave her name
and address To a salesman
Soon after the young woman had reached
her home she answered a ring at the front
doorbell and as she opened the door the
masher thrust his way in past her.
Hello. dear was his greeting.
She tried to make him 20 out but he
slammed the door shut behind him aud
without any further warning began 10
hug and kiss her. She struggled with him
and shouted for help.
