joyce Forehard, 627 Indiana street

robbed of an empty purse, at Vic.
toria and Mesquite streets as she was

gard street. Miss Paulina Aguirre,
112 Fannin street, the second victim,
was attacked at Tecan and st. Mary's
streets Sunday morning. Neither Of

OFFICERS PUZZLED.
Detectives admit they are puzzled
by the case.
Officers do not believe the man who
attacked Miss Forehard Tuesday night
is responsible for the first two at
tacks.
The pretty victim started walking
home after being relieved from duty,
when she discovered she did not have
her carfarc. Before reaching the
street intersection where she was
robbed, three Mexicans in an automo-
bile drove alongside of her and offered
her n ride, according TO Detectives
Stendebach and Kohr, who investigat-
ed the case.
At her refusal they drove on, stop
ping 4 block further on. One of the
youths leaped from the automobile and
started walking back toward the girl.

They met at the intersection. With
cut a word he struck her bow in
the face and grabbed her purse. When
she resisted he continued TO rain blows
upon her.
Realizing her screams would bring
her assistance. the attacker graspcd
her throat and choked her until she
fell unconscious.
Officers made a futile search Of the
city for the three youths.
