Mrs. ,. E. O'Neai Found Bound Hand and Foot, Gagged and Unconscious upon the Porch of Hejghbor's Mouse. Assault ed by Strange Man and Woman
POLICE UNABLE TO FIND
 ANY MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME

Bound and gagged and nne0n= scious, Mrs. J. T. O,Neal, a highly re- spected white lady residing al 910 East Twelfth avenue, was found lying prostrate on the porch at the home of AIr. J. A. Wright, two doors from Mrs. O'Neal's residence, shortly after l. o'clock Monday night
 The whole affair is clothed in deep- ast mystery, and so far all efforts on the part of the officers to unravel the mystery have been unavailing.
 Assaulted and Left for Dead.
 It was at 12:15 Monday night, ac- cording to the story told by Mrs. ONeal and corroborated by her hus- band, that Mr. J. T. O'Neal, the hus- band, left his home to go to his work at the power house of the Citizens Light and Transit company, and left his young wife at home alone.
 About an hour later q light knock was heard on the door of Mir. J. A. Wright's home, two doors from Mr. O'Neal's. and upon opening the door Mir Wright found a woman lying on his porch. apparently dead. He picked her up and carried her into the house and summoned his mother and a neishbor lady to her. It proved to be Mrs. O,Neal. one of his near neigh boFs
 Her feet were tied securely and a baa1age was tied over her mouth. Dr. Clark was summoned and after working with her for some time she recovered sufficiently to tell her story.
 The Mysterious Man and Woman.
 Immediately after this the police station was notified and Assistant Chief Ed Stanley sent Officers Parnell and Minor to the scene in the patrol wagon on d hurry run. Soon after arrival of Dr. Clark Mrs. ONeal was restored to consciousness, and in the presence of the physician, the patrol men and others Mrs. ONeal made her first statement of the affair. Said she:
 MT. O'Neal had left home but a few minutes when heard a knock at the door, and asked who was there. \ woman answered and said she was sick and wanted to come in. l opened the door for her, and pretty soon she drew out bottle of wine and offered t to me. I tasted it, but did not like it. Then she gave me some kind of perfume and l began to feel sleepy and scared. l started to go out the floor to call for some one when she

 Had Been hloroformed.
 Dr. Clark said the woman had eyi dentlN been chloroformed. and that she had lick in the side.
 An examination ot the place showed that buggy had stopped in front of the house, at the curb, and a piece Of the sane material her feet were tied with was picked up there.
 There were other evidences around the place, and q good description of the woman was given.
 No Arrests Made.
 Despite the faet that Mrs. 0Neal claims she knows the man who as saulted her, and gave the name Of d well known gentleman to the off eers, no arrests have yet been made in connection with the affair. Mrs. ONeal says she does not know the woman who is alleged to have as sisted ill the assault upon her, but was very positive Of the identity of the man No warrant for arrest hay ing been sworn out, however, the p0- lice have not made any arrests. Tues day morning the matter was br0ught before Prosecuting Attorney W D. Jones. and that gentleman, it is un- derstood, is conducting thorough investigation of the matter.
 Mystery Surrounds It.
 The assault uopn Mrs. ONeal is surrounded, so far, in what appears to be an impenetrable mystery. Not only have the police failed to estab- fish legally the identity of her as salants, but no cause can be found for it. So far as known, no robbery was intended, and if any other mo- tive prompted the assailants it can not be ascertained by the officers. The incidents of the assault only serve to add to the mystery Just why the assailants should take her to the home of a neighbor, leaving her there for dead, cannot oe oonjectured, since. if they wished U murder her, it would appear t0 be their natural course to leave her at home. There is every probability, however, that the officers will quickly solve the rid dle.

Yesterday f. Germoi OF Mount
Olive, ILL.,, made the charge that some
of Randall's statements were correct
last year. He presented a letter from
Secretary Haywood of the western
federation Of miners, in which Hey
wood denied the statement made in
Mitchell's address Of Saturday that
the western federation members were
taking the places Of the United Mine
workers on strike. Mitchell replied to
this in a very heated statement, de-
nouncing Randall's speech last year,
branding Heywood's statement as a
lie, and citing places where the west,
ern federation of miners had taken
the strikers places. Mitchell strongly
denounced those who said that he
had sold out the Colorado strike. He
was loudly cheered.
Mitchell said the association he had
with members of the civic federation
had always been turned to the advan-
tage Of the United Mine Workers as
sociation of America. He had not
committed the organization to any.
thing. The civic federation was com.
posed Of twelve honorable gentlemen,
themselves employers Of union labor,
The civic federation had favored a
trade agreement and in recognition OF
the trade agreement had recognized

like Mr. Eliot, but II we all thought
alike there would be no necessity for
