WOMEN IDENTIFY.
ASSAULT SUSPECT
Lewis Randall, Who Resisted
Arrest, Accused by Two
Who Were Attacked.

Lewis Randall, twenty-one years
old. who made vigorous fight when
arrested near the north end of the
bridge over Rock creek at Connecti-
cut avenue last Wednesday morning,
looms as suspect in the investiga-
tion of the several attacks on women
recently in this city and Maryland.
Detectives Kelly. Sweeney and
Scrivener took Randall and two other
suspects to the scene of the assault
on Mrs. Bessie Gleason. between her
home at IA Nicholson street north
east and the Takoma Park branch of
the Capital Traction line. They also
took him to Mrs. Glea sons home and
the home of Miss Louise Simmons, the
colored school teacher, 255s 9Th
street.
Both Mrs. Gleason and Miss Sim
mons identified Randall as their as
sailant. the detectives reported.
Miss Mabel Stiles, 1906 Webster
street. also a victim of an ASA liant.
looked at Randall, but was unable to
identity him. She explained that she
did not see the face of the man who
seized her. but was able to say he
was about the size of Randall.
Miss Mary Saunders. S1s Dorset
avenue, Somerset Heights, who was
assaulted while on her way home
from Chevy Chase Circle the after
noon of July ). declared Randall was
not her asSailant. She says she will
be able to identify her assailant by
his eyes rather than by his general
appearance.
Signs of Nervousness.
Randall. handcuffed to another sus-
pect, was taken to the scene of the
assault on Mrs. Gleason. Detectives
and prisoners remained there some
time engaged in a discussion of the
affair. the detectives closely question
ing Randall in an effort to obtain an
admission of guilt or 10 satisfy them
selves of his innocence. 1t is said
that the suspect displayed unmistak-
able signs of nervousness, and his
pulling at the other prisoner made it
necessary for the detectives to sep
arate the two. Detective Scrivener
handcuffed himself to the prisoner
and managed to keep him quiet.
Two paths lead through Rays woods
from the Gleason home to the cleo
trio car line, and it was on the lower
one. next to party fence, that Mrs.
Gleason was walking when she was
attacked
one of the detectives said he asked
the prisoner, indicating the upper
path.
mo. didn't come down that path"
he is said to have replied. II came
down the other PATH indicating the
one on which the attack was made.
Randall, who had many times denied
having committed an assault. became
uncommunicative. the police say, after
responding to the question. about
which path he travelled through Rays
woods.
On their way to the Gleason home
the detectives took Randall to Queen
Chapel road, short distance south of
Rhode Island avenue, where Mrs. Alice
Bell, 2061 Douglass street, was rob-
bed by eolored man the morning of
June 21, the detectives believing the
robbery was committed by Mrs. Glea-
sons assailant-
The man admitted he was familiar
with the neighborhood where the rob-
berry was committed. and spoke to
persons seen there yesterday. He also
said he was acquainted in the vicinity
of Mrs. Gleason's home, having work
ed in that section some time ago.

Blanton Howled Down.

The disturbance was started by Rep
resentative Blanton of Texas. who was
howled down when he attempted to
speak a second time against an amend
ment which would have given jury
the right to define intoxicants, and
was increased during an address by
Representative Gallvan. democrat. Mas
sachusetts. in which he declared his
intention to offer an amendment which
would require members of Congress to
print in the Congressional Record ex-
actly how much liquor they had stored
in their homes and Offices.

Claim Mistakes in Statements.

Claim Mistakes in Statements.
Shortly after the arrest of the Mary
land colored man he made a state
ment of his doings the day Mrs. Glea-
son and Miss Saunders were assaulted,
more particularly the day of the lat
ter assault, and the detectives declare
they have found he was mistaken in
some of his statements.
Last night the detectives visited the
home of Randall's mother, about two
miles north of Takoma Park, and dis
cussed her sons whereabouts at the
time the several attacks were made.
The mother turned over to the de-
tectives a blue coat Randall told them
he owned. They saw a pair of black
shoes in the house, and one of the
small children of the family said he
had left Lewis cap in the woods. A
search of the woods failed to result in
finding the cap.
1t was recalled by the detectives
that the black shoes were of the gem
eral appearance of the shoes Miss
Simmons said were worn by her as
sailant. A pair of tan shoes the
prisoner said he left in the house was
not found. Randall was returned to a
cell in a police station, and further
investigation of his movements is
being conducted.
