Isabelle Ensler, 1? years old, staggered Into the German hospital and fell fainting Into the arms of a nurse.

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.
