table. On my way back, when with
in a few hundred feet of home, a
man sprang out of the woods, grab
bed me by the throat, and dragged
me into the bushes. Then he and
another man carried me further back
into the woods and stuffed my mouth
with rags.
"They kept me there until late at
night and then one of them went af
ter a wagon. 1 was tied In this and
taken to East New York, into a tene
ment. Two women In this house
guarded me while the met were away.
The women took ray clothes from me
and threatened me."

camp of the republican party by
reading before the largest political
gathering ever held In this city new
letters that further establish the con
nection of Senator Joseph Foraker
with the Standard Oil company. One

showed that he had received SIO,OOO
from John D. Archbold from the un
failing supply at 26 Broadway.
Both of these letters were written
