WOMAN USED BLACKJACK.
Mrs. Mable Franklin MysteriousIy As sauIted by Stranger Selling Toilet Articles

According to a story that was told to Captain John Murray Wednesday which story was later substantiated by evidence. Mrs. Mabel Franklin was most surprisingly and viciously as- saulted at her home on Oak street at about 1030 Wednesday morning by some woman whose name is unknown to the police, but who is described as vender of toilet articles.
 John J. Lavell. who lives in the house with Mrs. Franklin, furnished the most connected story of the affair to the police MT. Lavell said that at the hour mentioned he was in his home with his daughter, Mrs. Olive Sullivan. They heard screams for help coming from Mrs. Franklin's apart ment and rushed to her aid. Enter ing, they found her lying on the floor with an unknown woman grappling her throat Mrs Sullivan in attempt ing to pull the woman away from Mrs. Franklin, diverted the unknown's rage against herself and was at once en- gagged in a struggle with her, but here MT. Lavell rushed to his daughters aid
 He was not obliged to lay hands on the stranger, for when she realized that a man was about to engage in the affair she declared her willingness to quit and leave the house, if allow ed to do SO
 To this MT Lavell made no ohjsc- ton and the woman went out.
 MT Lavell then learned that the woman had come into Mrs. Franklin's home to deliver some articles that Mrs Franklin had ordered a few days pre- vious. Mir. Lavell told Captain Mur- ray that Mrs. Franklin had explained to the woman that she was sorry that she had no change to meet the charge at just that time, but if she would call around the following day she would pay her.
 This seemed agreeable to the wom- an, and she turned to leave, Mrs. ton to her. Suddenly, as the story is told to the police, Mrs. Franklin was telled by 8 blow on head from some instrument, supposed to be blackjack. which the woman is believed to have extracted from the bag she was carry ing. Other blows were rained upon the prostrate woman and then the un- known bounced upon her. At this stage of the affair Mrs Franklin's screams attracted the attention of MT. could be learned Wednesday Mrs. Franklin gave the woman absolutely no cause for assaulting her and the surprising attack was entirely unpro- veked.
 Learning mere of the matter MT. l4apeli says that he set out from the Franklin home to follow the woman. He traced her over a course 6f pfoba- bly two miles through the city streets and finally came upon her. All the time he was following Mir, Lapell had an eye cut for an officer, but saw nene. He says that he talked with the woman and inquired why she had at tackled Mrs. Franklin and the woman replied that she did not know. but was glad that he came in as he did, for otherwise she might have killed Mrs. Franklin. Afr. Laveil says that sine told him that she was going te get out of this territory right away and travel direct te Pennsylvania, A search of the city for the woman was without results
 She was described to the police by

School Committee Aiding Project.
 The various sub committees ap- pointed by the general committee of the Wi1limantic Civic Society at their meeting Tuesday night, have already started work, in preparation for Cleanup week.
 The school committee held a meet ing Wednesday afternoon, and dis cussed plans for interesting the; chill dren in the work, and a scheme of awarding the prizes offered by Mayor Daniel F. Dunn. It is probable |. that cards will be printed, requesting ,citi- zens to aid in the work, and these cards will be so worded that they may be signed and taken up again at the conclusion of the week. to count as votes for the children, who distribute them, toward the prizes. The details of the plans will be presented to the school children by the committee, in conjunction with the acting school yis- itor, in all probability. at the earliest possible time. in order that the distri- button may begin at once.
 | The matter of presenting screens at the moving picture houses Is under way, and no doubt will meet with a ready response from the proprietors. It is likely that some cartoon or draw ing with an appeal to everyone to help will be the form which this mat ter will pursue.
 In the meantime everyone is urged to start cleaning now, and to aid in devising ways and means to make the "cfean-up week" a great success.
