GIRL FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
Was Struck on Head With Iron Bar
and Assaulted.

Was Struck on Head With Iron Bar
and Assaulted.
Luella Marshall, twenty-eight years
old, was assaulted and left uncon-
scious in a field as she was returning
from a neighbors house to her home
on the Ewingsville road, near Tren-
ton, N. J. She is in a critical condi-
ton, with little hope for her recovery.
The assault was committed near a
settlement, which leads to the assump-
ton that the assault was committed
by a negro. Miss Marshall was found
unconscious in a field by her father
and a neighbor, who heard groans
coming from the field.
When taken to the Mercer hospital
physicians found that the woman had
been struck on the head. presumably
with an iron bar, which was found
near where she was lying. Whether
she had been felled before or after
she had been outraged the physicians
could not determine. There is no clew
to her assailant.

DOROTHY ARNOLD
WAS KIDNAPPED?
New York Banker Says He
Firmly Believes It.
The FAMILrS THEORY, ALSO
Heiress Said to Have Been Carried Off
by White slavers and Killed to Pre-
vent Discovery.

In the course of a talk on white
slavery" at the Metropolitan Temple
in New York city, James Lees Laid
'aw, the banker, mentioned Dorothy
Arnold, who disappeared about three
fears ago, and stated that he had
tnown her from the time when she
was a little girl, and that he knew
now that the Arnolds realized that
the worst had happened to her
Mr.. Laidlaw explained that he had
mentioned the case OF Dorothy Ar
nold's disappearance as an Ilusra-
tion of what he believed to be TACT
that white slavery might come home
to any family in New York, no matter
what its financial or social position.
He said that he had known the Ar
nolds for many years and was some
what familiar with their efforts TO
find Miss Arnold, although he was not
speaking in any way by authority OF
the Arnold family.
He said that he believed, and knew
that the Arnolds believed, that Doro-
thy Arnold had been kidnapped, prob
ably by white slayers, and he went on
to say that he himself believed that
when the kidnappers discovered that
their victim was a member Of family
of sufficient means to enforce a CON
tinued search for her. she was muir
dered to prevent discovery.
Mr.. Laidlaw aud his wife have inter
ested themselves in the white slave
and other social problems, and the
banker was careful to have it under
stood that he mentioned the Dorothy
Arnold case only as an illustration OF
what may happen to girls and young
women of gentle birth and breeding II
the slavers can lay their hands on
them.
While not processing to be able to
give details of her disappearance, Mr..
Laidlaw is Of the opinion that Miss
Arnold was captured while crossing
Central park, was bundled into an au-
tomobile and carried off. The hue and
cry raised at her disappearance in
formed the kidnappers Of the identity
of their victim, and in order to prevent
her from giving evidence against them
they murdered her.
John S. Keith, attorney for the Ar
mold family. said that the kidnapping
theory had been entertained by the
family since a month or six weeks af-
ter the disappearance of Miss Arnold,
and that nothing had developed to al
ter their belief in that theory. Mr..
Keith said also that the family be
Ieved that white slavery was at the
bottom of the kidnapping, although
robbery also might have been fac
tor.
The family also believes that the
young woman was murdered, probably
soon after her capture, for otherwise
she would have contriyed to cOmmu-
nicate with some of the searchers.
Furthermore, Mr.. Keith said, even if
her lidnappers had not killed her, the
young woman long ago would have
died as a result of the life to which
the family fears she would have been
forced If living.
