TROLLEY GIRL"
NO OLONGER A
MYSTERY
Caught in Paterson, She
COnfesseS to Her Strange
Sort of Life.

PATERSON, Sept. 4=-For the past
two months the employees of the local
trolley lines and those who travel
much on the local cars have had their
attention attracted by a dashing.
roguish-eyed young woman. apparent
ly about 10 years old. who spent most
ef her tar1e afternoons and evenings
making herself agreeable to all with
whom she came in contact.
Her actions were shrouded-'in mys-
terry. There was nothing about the
girl particularly attractive, it is said,
especially to those of the class who
care little for conventional society.
Neatly dressed and with a smile that
wouldn't wear off, she continued her
conquests undisturbed. and to those
who didn't object to q quiet little tete-
a-tete with a pretty stranger on a
trolley car she was doubly attractive.
To those with whom she came in
contact--at least those who met her
and didn't take the trouble to probe
more deeply into her affairs-she was
somewhat of a mystery, and to the
trolley men and others about town
she became known as the mysterious
trolley girl"
Two weeks ago some one put Colonel
C. C. Shelby wise to the fact that in
this girl there was something that
would tax his ability, in ferreting out
her purpose in continually spending
her time on the trolley cars. Since
then the S. P. C. C. officer has lain
awake nights laying plans, and hustled
around days searching for the mys-
terious stranger. His search led him
to Singac, Passaic and Hackensack,
and many have wondered at the in
quisitive glances Mr.. Shelby gave
every pretty young woman he met
travelling on the cars.
The climax to his search came and
the strange young woman was taken
from a trolley car yesterday afternoon
at the corner of Main and Van Houten
streets by Mr.. Shelby
When the girl was brought to the
rooms of the State S. p. c. c.. she
broke down, and acknowledged that
she had not been leading right sort
of life. She is also charged with lead
ing astray young girls.
The girl gave her name as Mary
Roman, 10 years old, daughter of John
Roman, stationery engineer residing
dL o. IdyloE dNSAutt AOA6hhcSPSiCt ~
Y. She claimed that she came here
in June last with Buffalo Bits Wild
West show, in which she was engaged
as a bareback rider, She declined to
say why she left her home. When the
show quit Paterson the girl was left
behind.
She claims she made love to the troll
ley car conductors, got into their good
graces and rode free, Mr.. Shelby
learned also that she got number of
young girls to initiate her example.
She did not deny this, and gave the
names of some of the girls 1t is not
unlikely that others will be arrested
today.
The girl, after being thoroughly ques-
toned, was taken to the Florence Crit
tenton home and placed in the care Of
Matron Thomas.

RANTS ISSUED.
Double Assault Committed in Front
Street Stable--Robbery Mo-
tive Suspected.

Warrants for Harry Helmette and
Jeremiah Dowd were issued today for
the brutal assault in the stable of
the New Jersey Ice Cream Company
yesterday afternoon on the stable boss,
Tony Massa, and young helper, James
House, with a hammer and wagon pole,
as told in the night edition of the

Massa is at ST. Michael's Hospital.

tive officers.
Massa was terribly beaten about the
head and body, after the assailants
had struck House over the head
twice with hammer. rendering him
unconscious. -
The police were notified an hour after
the assault, and Captain Carroll, of the
detective bureau, sent Detective Ser
geants Long and Ryan to the scene
of the double assault, and pending
their arrival the man and House were
allowed to lay on the floor of the
stable in pools of their own blood

learned that the helper was but slightly
injured, owing to the fact that the
hammer had struck him glancing
blows, but Massa was found TO be IN
quite a serious condition.
1t is thought that robbery was the mo-
tive, but that the two assailants werc
scared off before they had time to search
their victims clothes.
Massa is considered by those who know
him to be in comfortable circumstances
and when searched by the detectives
roll containing $265 was found in his vest
pocket
House says that he tried to crawl away
and one of the men returned and again
struck him over the head with the hammer,
and he remembers no more until he was
revived in the hospital.
Overturned pals, broken windows and
spilled feed. with trail of blood that is
sprinkled from one end of the stable TO

rifle combat Massa made for his life, and
from certain signs the police are inclined
