ASSAULT MYSTERY DEEPENS
Woman's Story Of Dragging
Borne Out by Physician.

The efforts Of the police yesterday to
solve the mystery OF the strange attack
Friday afternoon on Mrs. Annie Appel and
her daughter at No 2169 Third avenue.
only resulted in making the puzzle APP
parently further from solution than at first.
When Mrs. Appel regained consciousness at
Harlem, Hospital yesterday morning she
professed entire ignorance OF everything
that had happened since she lay down
quietly to sleep Friday afternoon.
The police say that 1t is hardly possible
for the struggle with an assailant as de-
scribed by the daughter Annie, TO have &C.
Cured without waking the mother DIT.
Ritter. however. who was called in to at
tend the women, said there could be no
doubt that a third person had been in the
room. and that he was a strong man. as
the finger marks on the girls throat could
rot have been made except by n powerful
asgailant. He said he also applied the
hvsteris and the bluff" test TO the young
woman. and there could be no doubt that
She was under the influence Of some drug.
II was discovered yesterday that the
daughters right name is Mrs. William
Dougal. she having left her husband five
years ago. and resumed her maiden name.
Tbe child in the family called Goldie is her
daughter The police say that several
PECULIAR facts Of this sort in the girls life
add to their mystihcation.
The daughter was allowed TO return home
Yesterday. She stuck 10 her story OF the
assault and drugging. She agreed with the
policc. however that robbery was not the
motive as she had first declared but she
could offer no other explanation Of the at

GOVERNMENT MADE INQUIRY
Department Of Justice Investi-
gated Concern to See If 1t
Violated Sherman Law.

ages alleging that the defendants, who are
also the publishers OF magazines, were In
n conspiracy against him which has COM
pletely wrecked his business
II has been learned. too, that a repre-
sentative OF the Department of Justice has
made inquiry into the affairs OF the Peri
odical Clearing House to ascertain Whether
IL was operated In violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust act.
Woods business was to solicit adVerts
ing and subscriptions for the publications
OF the clearing house, on which ne re-
ceived commissions. For the year from
1903 10 1910. he said, he did business amount
ing 10 $4,000. Wood said that the defend
ant company controls twenty-five publica-
tons. that II had no cash money. and that
the corporators we're clerks and other EN-
ployes.
He alleged that the corporation also dc
tated the subscription rates on magazines
published by companies which are not
members He had a contract with the
company which gave him cents on every
subscription that he received for the conf
pany. But he made contract with sew
eral OF the members directly which gave
him better rates.
Thereupon. according 10 Wood. the clear
ing house imposed upon him large nn'
fer alleged violation Of his contract Will
It, This fine, he said, was levied because
he refused to accept the terms or the De
PENDANT corporation. which. he alleged was
a combination against public policy.
