A man believed by the police To be
The kissing fiend who has been oper'
hfinx on the east side or the city,
made his appearance on the west side
Early Friday morning. About 2 o'clock
he entered the home OF Mr.. and Mrs
Arthur Boutiliere. No. 241 Bakerst.,
and was crawling up on the bed OF
their 12-year-old daughter, Beryl, a
remarkably pretty girl. When ne was
discovered and frightened away. The
police are handicapped In their search
Tor the prowler by the fact that none
or his victims has been able to give
hp accurate description OF him. All
they have Is work on Is that he Is a
man Of medium height and IN smooth
Nv sha&erl. Fss
IN entering the sBoutiliere home. the
felloxf stepped into q narrow passage
way betweon the house and the dwell.
tng edjoinins II on the west. One Of
fheaWindoNre on that side opens into
the @bsdFoom where Beryl lay sleep.
Ing, alone. and the foot Of the bed ex-
tended past the window at about the
Same level as the sill.
All that stood between the prowier
md nh victim was cloth screen,
which ne ripped loose from the bot
fom fasteuings and pinned back. Then
he pushed the window up little far
4hers placed the window shade and
lace curtains over the foot Of. the
.bed. where they would be. out Of the
way, and crawled IN. IA s-~~s--.
AZ The fiend was. crawling over the
bed toward her. Beryl awoke. she
was too frightened to move at hrst,
but finally summoned enough cour-
age 10 rap violently on the wall just
back OF her head. which separates
he. room from that occupied by her
parents. Mrs. Boutilier awoke In
Brzutfy ard cnfne to what The
trouble was. els4 ~ 94
II stood in the doorway Of Beryrr
bedroom fully. Is seconds before l
realized what was going on" said
Mrs. Boutilier. II saw something
moving across the bed and thought
At first 1t was dog. I didn't know
exactly what was best to do until :
heard Berry, say, as the man came
very close to her. Mamma, look at
him. Then. for the first time in
nv life. screamed, and really think
that scream could have been heard
IN New York. At the same time,
Beryl put her hand In the fellows
kace and pushed him away He
huickly turned around and leaped
Through the window head first.
1 1.-The scream awakened my hus-
band and he was out OF bed In one
bound. He went right out and tried
TO see where the fellow went. but he
had disappeared. I think he must
have left by way OF the alley" =
Mr. Boutilier at once notified the
police and detectives from Trumbull
station we're assigned TO the case.
I'm spite Of her experience Beryl did
mot seem In the least perturbed FRI
day morning and declares, she will
continue to sleep alone. =. =
This is the fourth case OF the kind
reported within few days, the other
three having occurred on the east
side. In the other Instances the fell
low has attempted to deceive his VIC
Tins by saying Kiss papa" but little
Miss Boutilier says that her visitor
never uttered word. Mrs. Boutilier
thinks II was the mans intention TO
,chloroform the child.
