Young Man At Brsttlsboro May Lose Eye as
Result.

sault with powerful drug was report
ed TO the police last night. The victim
was Elwyn Richardson, the 10 year old
son OF Mr. and Mrs Benjamin Richard
son OF Vernon street, and the attack
was made Saturday night, but through
Q desire 10 investigate the matter with.
out the aid Of the police the case was
kept private until last night.
Richardson left home Saturday eve
ning to 60 TO Main street. When o
few rods away from his home a person
who appeared to bea woman stepped
from the rear OF the Brattleboro house
and threw the contents q tin can In
his face. An electric light was shining
brightly at that point and the young
man saw the motion OF the assailant's
hand In time TO turn his head so thai
the drug did not come in contact With
the right side OF his face. A quantity
OF the drug went into his left eye and
covered the left side OF his face.
In considerable agony Richardson
found his way back home and hi'
mother bathed his face and summoned
q physician The drug was pronouu
ced by the physician TO be probably
lysol, a powerful eaustic autisep;lc,
used largely for the same purposes a.
carbolic acid. The physician said las
night that richardson's face would
not be dishgured permanently but h
could not tell as to whether e sight
OF the eye would be destroyed as thu
eye is entirely closed by inflammation
and swelling.
