Montclair Is Aroused;
Warrant Issued on /.
Cruelty Charge.
FASHIONABLE RESIDENT
SOUGHT AS "MARY DOE"
Carriage Hurled Into Gutter and
Child Is Badly
Bruised.

ION a Mary Doe warrant, the po-
lice of Montelair today expect to
arrest a society woman for atrocious
cruelty to q 7-months-old baby.
Mrs. Robert A. Keasby, who Is
prominent in society circles, has vol
unteered to help prosecute the
charges. The sensational and mys-
FERROUS circumstances of the case
have aroused the entire millionaire
colony.
Two small daughters of Mrs. An
gelo Miscia were sent out yesterday
to take their 7-months-o brother
for an airing. They wheeled the car
riage into Union street. which Is
shaded by magnificent trees and
thanked by velvet lawns.
They chose for their picnic the
lawn of Arthur r. Johnson's ~palatial
home at 40 Union street. A few min
utes later, according to their story
a woman rushed up and shouted
angrily at them. They fed In ter
ror.
Then the woman, so they said.
seized the baby buggy, wheeled 1t tc
the sidewalk and hurled it, baby and
all, into the gutter. 1t overturned
and the baby was thrown out. The
child's face was cut and badly
bruised, while the little tot was
shaken up and its teeth were broken.
Mrs. Miscia complained to the po-
lice and an investigation was started
1t was found that the johnson home
was closed. A negro caretaker visits
it regularly, but no one is supposed
to be staying there. Yet the children
said they thought the woman came
from The house.
So far the police have not been able
to discover where the Johnsons have
gone.
Although she refuses to talk about
the incident, Mrs. Keasby is Thought
to have been a witness of 1t.
II shall be willing to tell what
know when I am called into the
case she said to IN Evening Sta
reporter today. !.
1t is claimed by the police that i
was not a maid or servant but one
of the residents who chased the chill
dren away from the johnson lawr
and pushed the baby carriage int
the street.
