BERLIN, July 26-Five little girls
were fiendishly attacked today in this
city by a man supposed to be mad,
who is still at large. The insensate
crimes have aroused the whole popula-
ton, and acute fear is felt lest the
murderer may find more victims be-
fore the police can lay hands upon
him.
The man sought a favorable oppor
tunity to get near his victims, and by
a deft stroke ripped open their stom-
achs with a knife. Two of the chill
dren were thus treated on the open
streets, and the other three were az
tackled in their homes. The criminal
entered apartment on the ground floor
and slashed his victims while their
parents were out or before an alarm
could be given. One of the children is
dead.
Each crime was committed in a diff
ferent and populous locality in the
northern and eastern parts of the city.
The criminal approached his victims
one after another. He would seize his
victim with one hand and cash her
rapidly with some sharp instrument
held in the other.
A description of the murderer has
been obtained from a person who saw
him leaving the scene of one of his
crimes. He is described as being about
% years old, well dressed and of a
pale and haggard visage. These and
other particulars of his appearance
have been printed by the police on
scarlet posters and spread on the ad-
vertising pillars throughout the city
A reward of $3.50 is offered for the
mans apprehension.
The entire police force of the city is
occupied in the search for the Grim

stance of fogging, however. he faith
fully reported the facts and never re-
ceived a word of censure.
On the contrary, he was accorded
nothing but praise for his conduct OF
this expedition, and he was even dec
GRATED by King Leopold. No charges
were preferred against the major I'M
til the administration decided he had
been too insistent in calling attention
to the frightful and unchecked abuses
in the Congo.
The statements made by Mai Lee
mair are supported by documentary
evidence and the testimony of Italian
officers who were recalled by theft
government from the Congo when in
formation came to hand as to what
was going on there.
A perusal of NJ Lemairs recital
carries the conviction that he is a high
minded man of superior attachments.
sincere believer in the future of the
Congo, devoted to the cause of the
blacks and determined to put an end
to the existing atrocious and disgrace
tul administration. During his eigh-
teen years service he crossed Africa
twice without firing a cartridge at a
native. On one occasion he entered
by way of Aambesi and came out two
years at the estuary of the Congo. M.
Recluse, the celebrated geographer,
said this achievement and its result
ranked Lemair with Abbadie, Duvey-
rier and Livingstone.
When, as a young man, Mai Lemafr
began his work in the Congo amid
the rattle of musketry, the banging of
cannon and the burning of villages"
he says he was taught that this course
was the only one to bring the natives
to their senses. Four years service,
however, opened his eyes to the true
reasons why Africa was being deluged
IN innocent blood. Since then he had
defended the blacks, pointing out their
good qualities, and upheld the work
of the missionaries. He realized the
danger of a continuance of irresponsi-
BILE control in the Congo, and became
a champion of annexation as the only
remedy.
Continuing, the major relates his re-
peated and vain attempts to have the

Der and ivory bearers until they fell
from exhaustion, and then torture the
unfortunates amid bowls of laughter,
/ repeatedly reported cases of rob-
berry, murder and outrage but these
reports were unheeded."
The major says he once received a
letter from the governor general Of
the Congo advising him that his SER
vices were greatly appreciated, but
saying his reports were full of critl-
cisms and could not be transmitted to
Brussels, where only the rosy side OF
things was desired
Later the major tried to see King
Leopold, but he was always prevented
by Intermediates Finding reports

BLAME ON LEOPOLD.

BRUSSELS, July 29.-Maj. Lemair
is continuing the publication of his
recollections Of the Congo Independent
state. The major served eighteen
years in the Congo in command of ma
tive troops. Upon his return to Bel
GUM he was notified that he would
be prosecuted for cruelty toward the
men under him, and he retaliated by
beginning the publication of a sensa-
uonal exposure of the revolving condi-
lions prevailing in the native army.
Aside from painting a black picture
of the conditions in the Congo, the me-
moirs of the major reveal that the
scientific expedition led by him into

ern frontier, in 1904 was an expedition
for conquest in disguise. The major
declares that King Leopold gave him
personal instructions to vanuuisb the
Anglo-Egyptian forces coming down
from the Soudan at any cost. 81 can
not be held accountable for these
acts the major writes; 81 am only
responsible for the complete execution
of these instructions"
Maj. Lemair admits that on several
occasions during this expedition,
which lasted for three years and two
months, he caused native soldiers and
even their wives to be fiogged. He
penetrated to regions never before
reached by white man and inhabited
by wild tribes and cannibals, and he
claimed that there was no way other
than fogging to preserve the discipline
indispensable to the security and sue
cess OF an expedition among brigapds
accustomed to kill, raid and capture
and to i'll treat women. In every in

She was placed in charge of Mrs.
Wells, the matron, who sent for DIR.
Clarence N. Plat, the Jail physician.
He found that Miss Barrigh was SUI
fering from a number of bad bruises,
and that she had been terribly mis-
treated. She was out of her nina
most of the time, but with short lucid
intervals
At the Jail she told the story, piece
by piece, of how she had been met by
a man at Eighty-sixth Street Park,
and enticed into boat She said that
the man had then taken her to North
Beach, where he was met by eight
other men. Where they took her she
seemed to have only a vague idea, but
conveyed the impression that she had
been carried to some place and held
prisoner until she made her escape
Tuesday night.
BY words she let drop from time to
time when she was lucid the officials
gathered an idea of the horrible treat
ment to which she had been subjected
while in the power of the nine men.
That she had survived the ordeal was
a matter of wonder to those who heard
her story and saw her condition.
The officials at the Jail telephoned
the name and address of the girl to
police headquarters and Alexander
Barrigh, the father, visited the prison
Thursday morning. The police mes
sage was the first news of his daughter
he had received since she left home
on Saturday afternoon.
He was completely Frustrated at
sight of her condition, and at first it
was feared he would be seriously af-
fected by the shock. me girl was
kept at the Jail in charge of the matron
until yesterday morning, when she was
removed to the Kings County Hospital
and placed in the insane ward.
1t was learned by the police that
the girl had been attacked by two men
in Central Park on the Sunday before
she disappeared from him and that as
a result of her experience at that time
her mind had been affected. This
caused her to become an easy victim
of the man who lured her from the
Eighty-sixth street Park
There have been thirty-seven at
