IDENTIFIES HER AssAILANT.
Mrs. John Aaro of Keene Slashed with
Razor in Hands of Negro - Thomas
Harrison Taken Into Custody.
KEENE. n. H.. Oct.

KEENE, n. H., Oct. 4.
Mrs. John Aaro, who lives near Full
ler's mill in East Swanzey, was the
victim Friday afternoon of the most
rutal and bloody assault which has
occurred IN this focaff,J ], foY a decade,
being severely slashed by a,razor in the
hands of big negro. That night
about IL o'clock Thomas Harrison, 80,
colored, was arrested by Chief of Police
Timothy Driscoll at Peterboro and
brought to this city on suspicion of be-
jig Mrs. Aaro's assalant. Harrison
was arraigned before Judge Holmes in
the municipal court next afternoon and
the case was continued pending full
investigation.
Harrison was taken before Mrs. Aaro
yesterday and she positively identified
him as the negro who ASSAULTED her.
Later he was arraigned in the municipal
court before Judge Holmes, pleaded not
guilty and was held without bail for the
October sitting of the grand jury. The
negro was without counsel, but was given
an opportunity to cross question several
witnesses who had testified that he re-
sembled colored man they saw going
through Troy the night previous to his
attack upon Mrs. Aaro
According to the story told by Mrs.
Aaro she was cooking in the kitchen
of her home when the negro approached
from behind and held gun to her head.
When she tried to get away he pulled
a razor and cut her cruelty in the
mouth, on the head and elsewhere. AL.
though bleeding profusely the unfor-
tunate woman tried hard to escape her
assailant. She managed to reach one
of the front rooms and made an effort
to get through a window, but was un-
able to do so. The house was shattered
with blood from one end to the other.
With desperate trying Mrs. Aaro finally
managed to reach the nearest neighbor s
house, probably 1000 feet away. I'm.
mediately word was sent TO the author
tiles in Marlboro, Troy and Keene and
posses were organized to begin a search
for the culprit.
At the time the negro entered the
house Mrs. Aaro's little girl, about FIVE
years old, who was terorzed, sought
safety by hiding beneath the piazza,
where she was later discovered un-
harmed.
Chief of Police Philbrick, Sheriff Lord
and all of the officers in this neighbor-
hood have worked hard securing evil
dence on the case and Mrs. Aaro IS re-.
covering as well as could be expected
She is AZ years old and has five chill
dren. At the time of the assault her
husband was in Keene on business.
The house where the Aaro family lives
is near the railroad track and is not in
sight of any of the neighbors.
