ASSAULT ON YOUNG WOMAN
CAUSES APPREHENSION
ASSAILANT WHO BEAT MISS
HOLMES NOT FOUND
Fiend Followed Girl Block and Then
Attacked Her-AnsWers Descrip-
ton of Murderer of Anna
PoItera

The attempted assault on Miss Bertha
Holmes at $3.50 o'clock Thursday night
at Western avenue and Forty-ninth
street has aroused the citizens of the
southwest section to a demand for bet
ter police protection, and incidentally
disclosed the present Whereabouts OF
Miss Holmes, who was eagerly sought
for during the preliminary trial of j.
B. Dudley, whose case lis now in the
courts, charged with being responsible
for the death of Woodman j. Thomas,
who was killed by an automobile driven
by Dudley the morning of February "a.
Miss Holmes had stepped from an
electric car at Western avenue and
Forty-eighth street, and started down
the avenue to her home, seven blocks
distant, when attacked by a man who
had evidently been hiding behind
tree. The man, according to the story
told to the police by Miss Holmes, had
followed her for a block through the
dimly lighted district, when he APP
preached from behind and threw his
hands about the woman's eyes.
A fierce struggle ensued, which at
tracted the attention of neighbors, and
the assailant was frightened off, not,
however, before Miss Holmes had
landed several we'll directed kicks on
the mans face.
1t was evident that the assailant's
purpose was robbery. as he succeeded
in snatching the woman's pocketbook
before help arrived.
In wrenching the pocketbook from
Miss Holmes hands it opened and the
purse containing money fell out, and
was later found within a few feet of
the place of assault The handbag
which the man carried away contained
number of letters and other articles
of small value.
Gives Good Description
For some time after the assault Miss
Holmes was in a hysterical condition,
but managed to give a fairly good de-
scription of the party.
She stated he was of dark complexion,
weighed about $50 pounds, was 5 feet
inches in height and was Mexican or
italian.
Miss Holmes was in such condition
that she was treated by DR.. Anton of
the California hospital.
All efforts to find the man proved
unavailing, and the fact that he cor
responded in some degree to the de-
scription OF the Mexican wanted in con-
nection with the murder of Anna Pol
terra, led many to believe that the mur-
derer and assailant was the same per-
son.
Miss Holmes figured prominently
few months ago in the Dudley automo-
bile case, as she was one of the two
women on the Joy ride" that resulted
in the death of Thomas at the corner
of Fifth street and Broadway Miss
Holmes testified at the inquest, but
could not be found to be a witness at
the preliminary hearing of Dudley on a
charge of manslaughter.
At present she resides with her moth
er at 171O West Fifty-fifth street, and is
expected to be one of the witnesses
when Dudley's case comes up in the
superior court.
Owing to her hysterical condition no
person was allowed to see her yester-
day, and the police are exerting every
effort to find her assailant.

their patrons every courtesy compat-
ible with liberal business principles.
Altogether the outlook for the
