THINK HE is AN AUSTRIAN
Both Mrs schwan and Dr. Jones, who
was summoned soon after the crime,
are Of the opinion that when the man

struggle Mrs. Schwan tore button
from the coat Of her assailant and

color, The texture OF the cloth was
the same and the pattern Of the button |
identical In every particular with the |
exception that they were brown.
DID NOT UTTER A WORD.
The fact that the assailant OF Mrs. |
Schwan did not utter a word during tina |
entire hour he was with her would in !
dictate that he was afraid that his brolt- |
en- English would furnish q clew. Mrs
Schwan says the man during the as !
sault repeatedly said "hush-h" TO the |
children, who We're tearing at him with |
their little hands In their endeavor TO |
assist their mother IN the attempt TO |
beat him on but he rained blow after |
