murder of her mother, shouting
that she had been the mistress of
her sisters husband, while insults
of the vilest sort were heaped upon
her by scornful tongues, a mob out
side the court house where the trial
of Carl Hau is in progress, made a
determined attack today upon Olga
Molitor, daughter of the prisoners

Scores of police, hastily sum
moned to protect the girl, had a ter
rible fight to drive back the mobs.
With her clothes nearly torn from
her body, her hair disheveled and
her face scratched and bleeding,
showing the rough treatment TO
which she had been subjected, the
young woman finally escaped to the
protection of a house. There the
police stood guard until the mob
was dispersed
