Scores of persons passing nearby shortly be- fore o'clock witnessed the brutal assault, but only one man went to the aid of Perkins, who was knocked to the sidewalk and vii ciously kicked about the head. He had several teet hknocked out. Spectators report two young men running away form the scene as Perkins cries attracted atten- ton. Perkins was so badly beat en that he lay in pool of blood He was taken to the hospital in the police ambulance.
 Members of the detective bureau were engaged to-day in attempting to learn the motive for the at- tack. Apparently it was just an incident in a feud, which Perkins has yet to explain to the police.

WAXEY GORDON MUST LISTEN TO MORE SECRETS
800 Ledgers, Account Books and Checks to
 Prove About Millions

New York, Nov 24-(UP)-Wax- ey Gordon, New Jersey beer baron, faced the fifth session of his trial on income tax evasion charges to- day bolstered by the knowledge that he would spend an unembar- rassed Sunday in the quiet of the federal house of detention.
 Revelation that the portly de- fendant, whom the governme ment charges neglected to pay income taxes of approximately $1,000,000 during 1890 and 1881, was eau tious golfer and proud of his home, was climaxed yesterday by the courts decision not to hold Sunday trial sessions.
 Another chapter was added to the governments story of Gordon's rise from small time boy to a millionaire gang leader and hotel man, when it was disclosed that he held insurance policies valued at almost $3O0,000.
 Approximately 300 ledgers, ac- count books checks, all allcgedly concerned with the financial opera tions of the Gordon interests, were earmarked for listing as evidence or identification by the govern ment during the day.
 The collection. the government said, showed that Gordon deposited $2,717,399 in five New Jersey banks between April 1880 and June 1881.
