Knife, Then ChOkeS Her Into In
sensibiIity.
Miss Mary Herdorff, % years old,
Of Martinsburg, w. Va, was brutally
assaulted Sunday evening in thick
ct, where she had gone to gather
blackberries, a short distance from
the home of her sister, near Rocky
Ridge. She was choked into insensi-
bitity, cut across the breast with a
knife and suffered other injuries by
an assailant, who escaped. A suspect
was arrested but released on account
of lack of evidence.
The young woman was on visit to
her sister, Mrs. Frank Welty, who
resides between Rocky Ridge and En-
mitsburg In company with a little
girl she entered the thicket, but the
child soon returned home. Shortly
after being left alone Miss Herdorff
was attacked by a white brute, who
seized her by the throat and choked
her In the struggle that followed
Miss Herdorff screamed, but her cries
for help were not heard. Her cutlery
brought from her assailant the threat,
"I1l cut your d heart out" He
then slashed her viciously with a
knife. Miss Herdorff tainted and fell
to the ground. When she regained
consciousness she struggled to the
home of her sister and told her story.
She was placed i'm bed and physician
summoned. The assault, which was
one of the most brutal that has ever
been perpetrated, has stirred the COM
muity where the attack occurred.
