the police early yesterday. Patrolman

at No. 1106 Locust street securely
bound TO chair by an iron chain.
His daughter, Laviolla Pollock. had
overpowered her father and. forcing
him into a chair had wrapped the iron
chain about his body. The other end
of the chain was so securely attached
TO the girls waist that it was with
difficulty it was removed.
When King entered the room the girl
sprang at him and caught him about
the neck. For five minutes he strug
gled with her. Several times she al
most overpowered the officer.
The patrolman. still in the insane
woman's grasp, finally struggled to a
window and threw his patrol box key
to a passerby, who ran to the box and
sent a call for aid to the central sta
Il \.
Police were rushed to the scene. The
woman was overpowered. and, still en-
tangled in the chain, was taken to the
