church, elated over his forethou1ht.
The crowd assembled and gathered
around the table. And then-then the
minister called on the parishioner to
say "grcce."
For a minute he was appalled-als0

Mas. LORETTA SMITH,.

Mrs. Loretta Smith Of No. 26 Jane
Street, is in Bellevue Hospital, slowly
recovering from the effects of brutal
beating and kicking inflicted nine
days ago by q negro burglar and eX-
convict, whose name the police assert
they know, although they have made
no arrest and, following the usual
policy" suppressed news of the crime
until il leaked out elsewhere last
night. The police excuse Is that they
did not want the criminal who beat
and robbed Mrs. Smith to know they
were after him.
! The negro inquired at one other
house, at least, for the Smith home
! apartment in a four story building
where George Smith, his wife and
their siX-weeEs- old baby live. When
Mrs. Smith, who is a Comely woman,
twenty-three years old, went to the
door the negro gruffly demanded
money Mrs. Smith replied that she
HAD none, at the same time trying to
close the door. The negro threw his
weight against the door, forcing it
open and seized Mrs. Smith by the
throat.
an kiln you" he threatened, and
forced her into the apartment, beat
ing and kicking her as she struggled.
The man knocked her down with an
iron bar, almost seyering one of her
ears AS she lay unconscious the
burglar ransacked the bureau and
sideboaFd drawers, dumping the con-
tents on the floor and taking every
thing OF value. including money, a
small diamond and a gold bracelet.
The woman's screams brought
neighbors in time to see the negro
escaping with the loot. George Smith
was called from his work at No. apt
West 18th Street, and ne notified the
police. The beaten woman was
taken to Bellevue where, for several
days, her condition was critical. The
husband has had TO remain home to
care for the infant who was in an
adjoining roo mWhen the mother was
struck down.
Neighbors gave such a good de-
scription of the woman's assailant
! that his photograph was obtained
from the Rogues' Gallery and identi-
fled within an hour after the assault
/ and robbery, The police, however
suppressed all news of the crime
= When an Evening World reporter
, who had learned OF the case from

Charles Street Station last night, the

freshed his memory, the detective
