Assault on Conductor and Motorman
Last Night.

No official report has been received by the
local police concerning the reported as
sault committed about 1890 o'clock last
night at Forest Glen, Md, on Motorman
e. P. Amos and Conductor s. R. Ashford OF
the suburban railway. 1t Is said seven or
eight men set upon the railway employees
and assaulted them with clubs and stones.
cutting them severely about the face and
head.
The conductor and motorman defended
themselves as best they could and six of
the car windows were demolished during
the melee. The assaulting parties were
finally put to flight 1t is the belief of the
railroad men that the trouble was caused
because 1t became necessary for them to
eject from the car a drunken man who had
used profanity and made himself generally
disagreeable to the other passengers. They
learned on the return trip to Forest Glen
that the intoxicated individual and num-
Der of his friends would attack them.
Upon reaching that place the men rushed
upon them from their place of concealment
and made the attack. The motorman was
covered with blood, and his head and face
were bruised and cut. Amos lives at 22fO
18th street northwest and Ashford gave
his address as 1928 9th street northwest.

Rumor has had 1t recently that Mr. Cor

that after Mr.. Cortelyou had determined

disclosures caused by the general investi-
cation into the affairs OF several large in
surance companies made 1t necessary that
