ATTACK ON GIRL PUZZLE
TO SHORE DETECTIVES
Victim Bound, Gagged and Badly
Beaten-Unconscious
in Hospital

ATLANTIC CITY, July 8. - City and
county detectives after working for l2
hours. today admitted they are completely
baffled by the mystery surrounding the
identity and the attack upon q girl. ap-
parently of foreign birth, found gagged and
fearfully beaten yesterday In a deserted
house at Somers Point.
The young woman, who was brought to
the hospital here yesterday in an automo-
bile by two men, is still unconscious with
detectives at her bedside waiting in the
hope that she may revive sufficiently to
make statement.
The girls lips are sealed by lockjaw as
well as coma and the doctors today said
It was quite possible she may expire with
out being sufficiently restored to give a
coherent account of her experience. There
Is scarcely any part of her body not COW
cred by bruises. She was devoid OF all
covering when found. The two men who
brought her to the hospital here drove away
hastily without giving their names.
Captain of Detectives James Malseed, OF
this city, who Is investigating the case for
Prosecutor Moore, is not certain the girl
was attacked in the house where the two
men claimed to have found her.
Malseed says II is quite possible the girl
was bound and gagged here after making
a desperate resistance and carried in an
automobile 10 Somers Point A large car
with a susplcious-looking bundle in the
tonneau passed through Absecon on Wednes-
day night.

and State Officials

NEW YORK, July s.-Ten thousand New
York citizens, members of the Home De-
fense League. were called out today by Act
Ing Police Commissioner Cooley to aid in
the fight being waged by Government and
municipal health authorities against the in
fantile paralysis epidemic.
Eighteen more deaths and 80 new cases
were reported today. This brings the total
number of deaths for the week UP to 1926
and the total number of cases reported to
the health authorities to 892. A majority
of the deaths and new cases were In
Brooklyn.
With six Federal health officials, under
the leadership of Doctor RuclSer here, efforts
to curb the disease were redoubled- today.

new cases.

League today marks the first time the police
have taken such step, since the organiza-
tion of the league a year ago. The 10000
members have been drilled by regular police
officers and will report to patromen in their
districts,
