STILL ANOTHER WOMAN
 ASSAULTED LAST NIGHT

(Continued from First Page.)
 some golf sticks they rushed to the rescue. As they appeared on the scene they man was just disappearing down Canal street and they gave pursuit, crying out loudly for him to stop. The noise that was made in the pursuit aroused the whole neighborhood, and it was only few moments before there were several hundred people looking for the man. Tn addition to this ev- erybody who owned a. dog started him on the scent.
 Henry Myers of 57 Webster street was sitting in the doorway of No. 12 Canal street when a colored man ran by him. The man kept running until he had gone several hundred feet away and he then started to walk, and a moment afterwards disappeared in a yardway. Just as he disappeared the four students came running up the street with Officer Murphy. One of the students was winded and he told Myers hurriedly what had happened and handed him a club, telling him to con- tinue the pursuit Meyers sped away and chased the man over a number of back fences, but he eventually escaped. One of the neighbors telephoned the police and notified Captain Cowles, and a large squad of officers were hurried to the scene, but could find no trace of the man.
 Young Fred. Tobin of F Bristol street was in the vicinity about ten minutes before the assault occurred. A colored man passed him muttering to himself and young Tobin asked him what he wanted. The colored man res piled that he wanted some matches and Tobin said he had none. The man then walked away. Youn Tobfn's 5descrip- tion of the man tailed exactly with the description given by the two Otis girls and Myers. They all said that the man was a short stocky built colored man; that he was smoothed faced, had a soft felt hat drawn down over his eyes, wore a dark jacket and had sort of browninsh trousers on.
 Stewart answers the description of the accused in every detail and as he was in that vicinity last night, the, po- lice believe that he is the man who is wanted. Shortly before midnight the detectives found him in a saloon on Dixwell avenue that is much frequent ed by colored men, and they placed him under arrest. He acted very nerv- ous and as he was brought to the po- lice station he said, T suppose am drunk again" although he did not ap- bear to be very much so. He was, however, locked up on charge of drunkenness, and will be subjected to very strict examination by Captain Cowles this morning. Stewart was ar rested two nights ago on a charge or drunkenness. He has quite police record and is regarded as a pretty tough proposition by the police. He stays around the saloons on Dixwell avenue doing whatever odd jobs he can get and sometimes also does some whitewashing. No questions were ask ed him last night and he was placed in the lookup to remain there until this morning.
 When the news of the assault reach ed the center of the city hundreds Of people hurried to the scene and there was great excitement. There was con- siderable talk of lynching, and had the man been caught in the neighborhood it would doubtless have gone hard with him. The police are very anxious to find out the name of the woman who was assaulted, but have not yet learned it. She told Detective Dunlap that even if the man was caught she would not appear against him, as she did not want the notoriety. Stewarts s police address is 50 Hudson street.
 Another strong reason why it is be- lieved that Stewart is the man who is wanted is the fact that he answers the description of the man who committed the two other similar assaults, It will be remembered that the man who com mitted the assault on Professor Rich ards daughter is said to have done considerable mumbling to himself and Stewart continually does this as he walks along the street.
