 | PROVED AN ALIBI--Antonio Val ! enzueIa was tried yesterday in Justice Rober; sons court for stealing ten dol | lars of a Mexican woman named Ro- saria Medina and also of attempting to assault her. She is married to an American and lives near Five Points but las: Thursday night she chanced l to be on South Seventh avenue on
 business and stepping into Nickel ligon's saloon she said she was afraid
 to go home. A Mexican volunteered
 to go home with her and she accepted
 his escort. His first bold move was to
 steal the ten dollars that she had ex-
 hibited in the saloon. Whenever she made an effort to cry out the Mexican
 would throttle her, and eveTytime they
 passed through a dense shadow he at
 tempted to assault her but she repell-
 ed him by main strength. She finally
 escaped from him by running into 6
 house where she was acquainted. From
