.'The telephone recently has been
making great gains IN popularity
throughout the railroad world. Forty

ASSAULT MYSTERY
Still UNSOLVED
Girl Adheres to Original Story
of Attack and Police Re-
main InCreduIOus

OAKLAND. June 16.-No light has
been thrown upon the mystery of the
alleged attack upon Mamie Dalgao, the
Is year old laundry girl, who was
found unconscious. bound and gagged
by her own stockings upon the porch
Of her home at 767 Campbell street
early yesterday morning
The girl stubbornly adheres to her
original story that she must have been
drugged and carried from her room
during the night by men who forced
an entrance, while the police remain
utterly incredulous of the tale and de-
clare that it would have been i'm
possible for intruders to enter the
apartment without awaking both
Mamie Delgao and her sister Ida, who
slept in the room.
Captain of Detectives Petersen saws
that he believes the girls story to be
utterly false, and that she is the only
one who can give a true explanation
of her strange experience Until she
changes her story, he said today, he
would make no further investigation
Of the case.
The members of the girls family,
however, say that they believe she
is telling the truth, and are still seek
ing some clue to the identity of her
mysterious assailants. All of the
Delgaos are believers in spiritual
ism and the police have learned that
they consulted a medium before they
reported the girls plight to head
quarters Yesterday morning
