 Thought to Be Drank
 The alleged attacks Tuesday have given the toUnspcople more than a chance 10 discuss the affair from every conceivable angle. As a whole the opinion seems to be that the at tacks" were nothing more or less than a continuation Of the Hallo- we'en spirit indulged in by someone of moronic tendencies. A statement of the girl, that the man wore a wig which fell off as he started 10 run, might easily carry that assumption out. The facts that no one else had seen the man or had been able to ascertain just who he was or what he looked like and that the attack was attempted in broad daylight at a point where traffic is passing con- stantly and directly in front of a small factory, makes the story sound less plausible, some comment.
 The attack" last night is bound 10 have some effect upon the attend ance at the evening school. Students are reassured that full protection will be given any one desiring it should they deem it necessary. Au- thorities scoff at the idea of any pos sible connection between an attack CT in New Britain several days ago and the assailant in Kensington.
 Everyone is Suspected
 Limping men. bewhiskered men, stoclly men, and suspicious looking men found in Berlin vii be the ob- ject of discourse if nothing more serious than that. Since the attacks several days ago all who passed through Kensington with any of the above enumerated characteristics have been surveyed almost critically by those who have heard the story Of Blanche Murray. It is reported that a man has been followed by several groups of children who were attracted 10 him by the limp in his stride. This limp was connected with the limp of the man who was pur- ported 10 have attacked Branche. A stranger riding on buses is the object of much attention. particular ly if he sports side whiskers
