Barre finished the letters. Maroney closed
the windows facing the street and start'd
toward the door with the key In his hand

had her hand on the mob when Maroney,
who Ia big and strong. caught her by tho
throat and dragged her back and locked
the door She screamed Murder y but
her voice was drowned to passersoy by
the tumult Of the street, caused chiefly
by the changing Of trolley bells and Tho
roar Of Pennsylvania trains.
Maroney threw the young woman against
the door. The back Of her head struck
with such violence that she became I'M
conscious. When she opened her eyes
Maroney was still there, Her clothing had
been partly torn from her and was spattered
with blood. She cried out again, and
Maroney stifed her cry with his hand.
Then he tied a handkerchief tightly over
her mouth, threatening her with other
violence if she Sried to make another out
cry. The realization Of what had happened
to her made her swoon.
The next time she opened her eyes she
saw Maroney sitting in o chair in front OF
her. II was dark, but a light from an
electric lamp in the street showed every
thing clearly in the room. After n while
Maroney got her up on her feet and took
the handkerchief from her mouth. He
opened the door for her, saying: You may
go now, but don't you dare to tell any onel'
Miss La Barre dragged herself home
through u~nfrequented streets. She Snug
gled herself to bed, passing her sister, Mrs.
Koehne, 81 that her shirt waist, torn up
the. back. could not be seen by her. On
Friday morning she decided TO tell her
aunt and sister. They found that she had
been brutally treated. There were few
parts Of her arms or legs that were not
black and blue and there were two bad
abrasions of the back. She was taken, to
DR.. Bowyer, who after examining her
declared that she had been eavagely as
saulted. Mr.. and Mrs. koehne then went
with Miss La Barre to Chief Murphy. The
chief was a bit incredulous when he first
heard the story, but an exhibition OF the
young woman's clothing and a consultation
with DR.. Bowyer convinced him that
Maroney was guilty.
The chief had never heard anything but
good about Maroney, who had a fine reputa-
ton as a business a and he was therefore
much astonished. He obtained a warrant
from Justice Of the Peace e. A. Ransom, Jr.,
and sent Detective Sergeant Daniel Lee, a
friend Of Maroney's, to serve it at Maroney's
home, 1901 Boulevard, Jersey City. Marc
wife and a woman friend were sitting
on the front porch when the. detective
arrived, and Mrs, .Maroney was talking
with her husband. The detective beckoned
Maroney and then whispered to him:
4Maroney, I've got a warrant for YOU"
Maroney tuned pale ana begant to tremble.
He asked Lees permission to go to his
bedrooma moment, and Lee said, All right,
I'm going with you" Maroney pulled
open a top drawer Of a dresser, revealing
revolver. Before Maroney's hand could
reach the weapon Lee had grabbed the
hand and shut the drawer
Maroney'5 wife was unaware OF the nature
Of the charge against him until she saw it
in the newspapers. She was Frustrated.
She is the daughter Of a Jersey City con-
said to Chief Murphy and to De-
Lee that he had been drunk on
Thursday and did not know what he had
done. He was sober, although much ex-
cited, when arrested, and Miss La Barre
said he seemed to be perfectly sober when
he attacked her.
Maroney was arraigned yesterday be-
fore Acting Judge LANCER in the, First
Criminal Court and held without bail for
assault. In giving her testimony
