That revenge is neither sweet nor profit
able may be the outcome of an assault
made ON Mrs. William Parker, go years
old, of Browns Mills, who was the victim
of two men about 1890 o'clock on Sstur-
day night as she was returning home from
the village store. Mrs. Parker was
brought to the home of her son In Mount
Holly, by DR.. Newcomb, on Sunday. |
She was suffering from nervous shock as
the result of being waylaid, stoned and
pelted with bad eggs, and her condition
was shocking when found unconscious by
people living near the scene OF the at
tack. The woman declared that George |
Taylor, whom she has known for many |
years, was one of her assailants, but she
cannot tell who the other man was. On
learning of the crime constable Samuel K.
Gaskill was sent to Browns Mills and he
arrested Taylor. The latter was brought
here and held under $500 bail for hearing
next Saturday by Justice Risdon. The
security was furnished by John Davis,
hotel keeper. The woman was neither
assaulted nor robbed. The au-
shorities state that Mrs. Parker's husband,
has been in the habit of gamb-
ing with Taylor and others, and because
The tried to put stop to such proceeding,
;he man became angry and took revenge
n this manner.
