York schoolgirls came unexpectedly
on january 81 from tho Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children.
Officers in that organization appeared
in magistrates court with Alice Ruck,
Is year-old daughter Of an East Sid
widow who works as a domestic. and
complained that the promoter OF sport
ing events had criminally assaulted
her on several occasions.
Two of Alice's companions, Anna
Hess, IL. and Eivira Renzie. IL, went
along with her as Richards accus-
ers. Both are daughters of poor East
Side workers. Anna told that Richard
tried to assault her and Elvira Rem
zie was detained as n witness.
The following week Nellie Gasko, ~
years old, was reported missing. In
a few days detectives found her on a
farm near Wappingers Falls, N. r.
with a private detective. Nathan Podd.
who was brought TO New York and
charged with kidnapping and bribins
a witness in a pending criminal &C
ton"
Meanwhile Alice Ruck and Anna
Hess a testified before a magistrate
that Richard first approached them
while they were in Their bathing suits
at bis pubuic swimming pool in Madi-
son Square Garden last summer. They
said he had first paid them pretty
compliments, then given them n dollar
each. On subsequent trips to the
Garden they said they chatted with
the promoter and that after asking IL
they would like to have a glass of
wine, he took them to his offices in
the tower Of the Garden and there
misconducted himself. This tower,
surmounted by Il bronze statue of
Diana, figured in the Thaw case as
having contained the Don of mirrors
attached to the studio OF Stanford
White.
Early in the fail, the two girls testi-
fled, Richard had them visit him In
an apartment in West 47th street, a
few doors from Fifth and
there also, they said, he assaulted
them. This happened several times,
they asserted.
When their stories had been heard
and those of others were told to tho
Children's Society, the evidence
against Richard was taken before the
supreme court Brduu jury "iiSh IA
sequently returned foul indictments
against him. Two of these charged
that he criminally assaulted Alice
Ruck and Sarah Schoenfeld and the
other two that he had abducted Anna
Hess and Nellie Gasko. Richard plead
ed not guilty to all four and, pending
his trial, was under $751; 900 bah.
After his Indictment and before
his trial, Richard gave up his official
connection with Madison Square Gar
den and the promotion of boxing
contests and other athletic vents In
that famous old rendezvous of sport
lovers.
