New York, Aug. 8.—Held prisoner
by two men for more than day and
terribly abused. Isabelle Ensler, 1?
years old, staggered Into the German
hospital and fell fainting Into the
arms of a nurse.
She stated after she revived that she
was walking along In search of work
when she was sylzed by two men and
dragged up a Hlsht of stairs. The door
was barred and the two men brutally
attacked her.
Wandered About Dazed.
During the time, she says, tho men
subjected her to every conceivable in
dignity and most of the time she wus
unconscious. Late yesterday they took
her to tho street door and pushed her
out. She wondered about the streets
dazed until she reached the hospital.
The physicians say she Is in a critical
condition.
While tho police were skirting
through the Italian quarter today look
ing for the two men who had held Isa
belle Ensler, a third man, accused of
attacking a child, was taken to York-
vllle police court. The prisoner was
John Rusek, an Austrian, who was ac
cused of attacking 7-year-old Louisa
Sackman.
Trapped by Girl's Aunt.
He was‘trapped by the child’s aunt.
Miss Mary Kchoe. That the man was
not put to death by a mob that was
ready to tear him limb from limb, was
due to Miss JCchoe, even though he
hod turned upon her when she came
to her niece’s rescue, beating her down
with his fists and tearing her clothing
In his efforts to escape.
Over In Brooklyn, William Brown, a
muscular roustabout, was charged with
e’.lacklng his own niece, Helen Carlin,
aged 7. That this man had a close
call from death at tho hands of a mob
was shown by his appearanco at court
today. His llttlo victim and her moth
er, the prisoner’s own sister, wore there
to accuse him.

in lockers for the use of their members.
Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, secured
the floor nnd declared thnt it was no
time to Inject a prohibition discussion
Ir.to the deliberations of the house.
"That matter has been disposed of,"

It' out of place for a man whom I

amendment taxing them.”

Now, will you do It?" ho exclaimed as
ho leveled his Anger at both Mr. Dun
bar and Mr. Boyd.
