Story of Daring

Found lying unconscious in the
middle Of the street at Beaubien-st
and Milwaukee-ave., at o'clock,
Thursday morning, with her face
bruised and bloody, and her hand cut,
Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, 20-year-old
cashier in Sillman's S restaurant, across
from police headquarters, was rushed
TO Grace hospital in police auto,
and reyiying later told Detective
Frank Repp a thrilling story OF be
ing kidnapped by two autoists, taken
TO the woods in Hamtramck, and as
saulted.
She says the men gagged her with
a handkerchief and after she had
seen the machine heading for the
Hamtramck woods, she remembered
nothing else until she was thrown
from the auto near a viaduct."
She gave Detective Repp license
number, as that Of the machine IN
which she had been wtIirled away,
but said she was not positive that
the number was correct, She also
gave descriptions of the two men.
The young woman declared, In in
teryals of consciousness, that she had
left her home at No. 1866 Dubois-st.,
TO 30 TO her work at the restaurant,
early Wednesday evening.
Alighting from a Baker car at Mon
roe-ave, and Randolph-st., only two
blocks from the restaurant, she says
that an auto with two young men In
drove up beside her and the autoists
asked her where she was going, were
informed of her destination invited
her to ride there with them and she
accepted.
She said that instead OF heading
toward the restaurant, they started
at rapid pace toward the Campus,
and she says that as they passed two
policemen near the city hall, she
screamed, but the officers did not
hear her cries, apparently.
The driver Of the auto then sped
northward. and the first stop was
made at Paddy McGraws' hotel, st
Aubin and Clay-aves where, she
said. one of the men went in and
bought three bottles OF beer. while
the other held her prisoner In the
car. and prevented her from scream
ing, by putting a handkerchief in her
mouth.
She says she did not drink any OF
the beer. and the auto then sped to-

lives, May Is, by the coroner's jury
that has been conducting the probe
into the matter, Wednesday afternoon.
The verdict was as follows:
I'VE, the jury, find that William

negligence and ignorance of the Mex

that the plant was improperly con

also that they failed to inform them.

traordinary dangers Of the operations
conducted at their plant"
The return was made to the coroner
after one hours deliberation While
the cause of the explosion was not in
dicated the return plainly shows that
in the opinion Of the jury the general
conduct of the plant was unsafe.
The jury has been in session sew
eral days and has heard a great deal
