Attempted Assassination.

Knoxville, Aug. 18.-A desperate
but futile attempt at assassination oc.
Cured at the Daniel Maloney home
rear Knoxville when a night prowler,
evidently on murder bent, emptied a
charge from a single barreled shot,
gun into the mattress and pillow di,
rectly under the head of Miss Mary
Maloney, who had just retired. The
would-be assassin shot through the
window and screen and only missed
the head of his intended victim by
the narrow margin of few inches.
, After firing the shot the unknown
man made his escape through corn
field onto the railroad track a half
mile away, where all traces were lost
Miss Mary Maloney is housekeeper
for her brother Dan-and hired man,
the three being on farm near Don
aAafi&4..-- aa 81 ssasa ~ ." 40
o'clock, but Miss MalOney, who was
reading, did not retire until some,
thing like an hour later. she had
blown out the light and had just
gotten into bed when the crash came
through the window. The men re-
sponded to her screams as quickly
as possible and called the sheriff
who went to the scene at daylight
with a posse of men.
They trailed the assassin through
the corn fields for about a half mile
and found the gun about three hun
dred yards from the house. 1t has
the initials IL. P" scratched on the
stock, but beyond those letters there
are no other marks of Identification.
Dozens of men from the neighbor'
hood who visited the MalOney place
and at the sheriff's Office in Knoxville
say that they never saw the gun be-
fore. The matter Is a profound mys'
terry, as Miss Maloney, so far as is
known, had no enemy.
The sheriff says that the man, who
was wearing very large shoes, made
tracks from four to six feet apart dur.
ing his first quarter mile OF flight
through the corn fields.

The police then got control of the

The body was prepared for shipment
to Brooklyn, N. Y, the boyhood home
of Frank, on train leaving at mid

1t was doubtful whether Mrs. Frank
would be able to make the trip East
with the body.
She suffered a collapse when the
news that Frank had been taken from
the prison by the mob was broken to
her at her boarding house in Mil
ledgeVille. To newspaper men she sent
