According to the evidence OF Mrs

two young men came to the Slaughter
homo on Saturday evening. and by
some means managed to vile Mr..
Slaughter away.
Slaughter alleges that the men gave
him one drink OF something, and the
next thing he knew was when ho
awoke In the station house. The po-
lice have not determined whether
Slaughter was doped or merely made
drunk. At any, rate he was taken to
the station-house. and his, young wife
went for protection to the home of
her sister, Mrs. Smith, few blocks
away. on Tredegar Street.

demanded to know IL the young wo-
mans husband was there. Smith told
them that he was not. The two men
refused to go. even though ordered
out. One OF them struck Mrs. Smith,
after which both jumped on Mr.. Smith
ana beat him up In such n way as to
leave marks which are still on him.
Then. according to the charge, they
went to the room where young Mrs.
Slaughter was and attempted to as
sault her. Her screams attracted the
attention OF Willie Hicks, young man
who happened to be passing. Mrs.
smith had also run for aid, and the
young men were scared away. Bicy-
Gle Policeman Duffy reached the house
shortly afterward. but so incoherent
were the inmates tina. he could at first
learn nothing. except that the men
had attacked Mr.. and Mrs Smith. His
suspicious were excited. and he called
up the Chief OF Police. who at once
notified the detective department and
placed special officers on the case
The case OF Slaughter was heard
shortly before the assault case yes
terday. and he was sent to jail for
drunkenness.

with Detective Sergeant Mcmahon and
Policeman Duffy. who was put in plain
clothes, were soon at work. The two
men were arrested sunday evening at
Sixth and Canal Streets as they were
making their preparations to get out
of the city. The charge of being sus-
picious characters was entered againut
tlcnr,l and 1T was not until the fuil
story way told in the Police Court
yesterday that the case fully devel-
oped. AS result of the hearing bench
warrants were issued and the men
were sent on to the grand jury on the
charge of attempted criminal assault.
In order not TO take any chances
