By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The remarkable
series of crimes In this city in which
attack shows no signs Of abatement. Dur
ing yesterday two such attacks were re-
ported to the police ana today one adj
ditional case has been brought to public
notice-that of a young east side girl
who was attacked by a miscreant while
passing through the hallway of the house
that held her own home.
Scarcely an arrest of Importance has
been made and the police confess them
selves as completely baffled. Detectives
who have studied the different cases diff
fer as to the probable perpetrators of the
different crimes. Some incline to the be-
lief that the assaults are the work of
one man, one who has the mad animal
instinct of the London and Berlin rip
per-"
Others combat this theory and point
to the widely separated points in which
the crimes occurred and the different
methods with which final murder was ac-
complished. No one can explain, how
ever, why there should be such an epi-
demic of fiendish crimes in this city at
this time.
Alarm Widespread
The alarm is widespread and there has
been a marked decrease of the number of
women and children upon the streets at
night. Every little street incident is
magnifled and a mob assemblies.
In several instances men have been at
tackled by the crowds, and whether
rightfully or wrongfully, have been Sc
verely beaten by the people. The tenn
per OF the feeling is shown by letters
which have been received by the news
papers suggesting vigilance committees
and protective associations.
Some adverse comment has been caused
by the fact that Police Commissioner
Bingham has gone away on vacation
at this time, but he has explained that
he has done all that he could to catch
the fiend or fiends and that he will re-
turn to the city in case his presence is
required.
The list of victims who have met
death in this wave of crime has reached
five-three girls and two women. A score
or more have been attacked.
Louis Esposilo, a fruit dealer, was ar
rested today in connection with the mur-
der of Kate Tietschler. He was accused
of having been seen in the cellar where
the girl was killed.
An attack was made on Anna Rogers, a
young girl, On Fifth avenue Brooklyn
today by an italian, who was rescued
from the hands of an enraged crowd by
the police.
