scripps-McRae Telegram.

New York, Aug. f.--An attack on a
lone woman early Tuesday on west
side street adds another case to the
already long list OF attacks made on
women and children In the streets OF
New York. Despite the vigilance of
the police, who have been doing dou-
BILE duty to prevent further spread of
the crime wave, the attack would have
been successful had 1t not been for
the desperate struggle of Adelaide
Wildrer, a trained nurse, who fought
her assailant with hatpin and finally
routed him.
Miss Wildrer's screams brought the
police. who pursued the man to Cen
trail park, where he was brought to
bay with a fusillade of bullets from
the revolvers Of the officers. The man
said he was Pietro Daurio, an Italian
peddler.
Miss Wildrer was walking home
early after attending a patient Near
Manhattan avenue and One Hundred
and Sixth street an Italian accosted
her. When she repulsed him the Ital-
ian knocked her down with his fist
and clutching her throat with his
hand dragged her to the stoop of an
apartment house. Miss Wildrer man
aged to withdraw hatpin from her
hat and jabbing her assailant caused
him to loosen his hold on her throat.
Miss Wildrer screamed for help and
the Italian fed.
Policemen heard her cries and gave
chase. The Italian ran to Central
Park and the policemen fired a yolley
OF shots after the fleeing man, who
leaped the park wall and hid under a
clump of bushes. He was dragged out
by the police and idensified by Miss
Wildrer, who, despite the fact that she
had been half-strangled and beaten
badly about the face, had given chase
to her assaiiant with the polfce.> Dau-
rio declared that he was innocent.
The police are searching for an un-
known man who attacked f3-year-old
girl named Sade Momah in hallway
of an office building. The man es-
capped through Green street. He seized
the girl while she was standing on the
sidewalk and forced her into hall
way. Her screams frightened him
and he ran. Several persons pursued
him. The girl was not harmed.

Anna Markowitz before she was stran-

Cohan died Tuesday at the hospital,
after an Intellectual attempt had been
made to secure from him a coherent
statement of the crime, and an identi-
fication of the two Markowitz broth
ers. Owing to his delirious condition
the information he gave as to the
tragedy is considered of little value.
His father and brother were with him
