saulted and robbed while on the street
last evening. the case being the four
teenth of the kind recorded in this city
since September % last.
The attack on Miss Kelly is regarded as
the boldest of the fourteen. and the high
wayman obtained more. Miss Kelly was
walking along Vermont avenue between
L and NJ streets about 7:15 O'Clock. and
was In the glare of an electric lamp when

the pavement. her head striking with
force suncient TO render her almost help

from her arm and departed. 1t contained
$3.50. several car tickets and some
trinkets.
Several persons were nearby when the
crime was committed. but the thug had
no difficulty in escaping. 1t was stated
to the police that the rObber was Sc
creted behind an automobile and that he
appeared SO suddenly that Miss Kelly
did not have chance to make an out
cry before he tripped her. The young
lady had been to the home of friend
and was returning to the Arlington, walk
ing leisurely along Vermont avenue. and
was taken so completely by surprise that
she was unable to call for assistance.

help. but before anything could be done

Kelly and heard what she had to say of
the affair.
The conduct of the robber indicated
that he was about to pound the head
of his victim against the pavement
after knocking her down, bat Miss
Kelly was as able to protect Inse herself by

tim and almost fell. Miss Kelly told
the police that her assailant was

skin and a mustache, and wore dark
clothes and black derby hat.
His description tallies with that given
of the man who robbed other women

A description of the assailant of Miss
Kelly was sent from headqua rters to
the several police stations last night.
The captains Of the precincts were di-
rected to have their men make special
efforts to bring about the arrest of the
footpad.
The police of the second precinct ar
rested a young colOred man named
William Bright and detained him on
suspicion that he was the one who
robbed Miss Kelly. He denied the
Charge however, and said he could
prove an alibi Bright was seen at
the station about noon today by

fair, and she said he was not the
guilty man, so he was released.

a writer IN Zion Herald. There is no
disputihg, however. but that at one
point he greatly surpassed both John
Wesley and George Whiteheld-he

in the spring of 1748. when he was no
longer young, that he first began Sc

Miss Sarah Gwynne, a girl Of 2S.
