FIENDISH NEGRO ATTACKS GIRL YOUNG WOMAN IS VICTIM OF BRUTAL ASSAULT Miss Mae Leffler Knocked Senseless and Mistreated While on Way to Visit Brother in Hospital Mae Leffler, 20 years of age, a stenographer employed in the Tajo building, and living at 3035 East Fifth street, was brutally mistreated and robbed at Mission road and Slohel street at 6:30 o'clock last night by a negro, wIA escaped before an alarm could be given. Miss Leffler was on her way to the county hospital to visit her brother John, who is a patient In that institu tion. She left the car at Main and Wichel streets and walked south to Mission road toward the .hospital. As' she stepped from the car she noticed a negro youth about IS years of age standing near, and lie followed Jier ;is she walked along the street. At ilie corner of Mission road he has tened to her side and addressed an insulting remark to her. Before she could reply in any manner he struck her a heavy blow on the forehead with his list, felling her unconscious to the sidewalk. What occurred afterward tilie is unable to remember, but some minutes later »he regained conscious ness, and although still dazed by the force oi.' the blow, struggled to her feet and oegan running around the street in a circle, screaming in a hysterical manner. A number of small boys who were playing a half a block away heard her screams and ran to her assistance. They conducted her to the county hos pital, where she was at once attended by surgeons and placed in a private ward. Deputy Sheriffs Hutchlnson and Hubbard, who are stationed at the county hospital, went to the scene of the robbery and searched the vicinity thoroughly, but were unable to find any trace of the negro, who, the boys say, was standing within ten feet of the girl when they appeared, but who ran away as soon as they appeared. On the sidewalk were found Miss Leffler's hat and hat pins, hair combs and a ring. Her purse containing $8 was missing. Miss Leffler was unable last night to give a good description of the negro who attacked her, but a score or more of patrolmen and de tectives from the east side police sta tion and from the central division were gent out to hunt him down.

Russell, the first of the two Jurors chosen yesterday, is the faiher of a night rider, who had been sworn into the band by one of the defendants now on trial. Attorney General Caldwell declared that thr son, Charles E. Russell, had participated In several alleged raids. He told the court this knowledge of the relationship came to him after he had accepted the Juror. Juror Russell ad mitted the relationship and was ex cused by the court. When the next talesman was ques tioned the defense attempted to chal lenge him peremptorily. The state ob- Jectefl, raising the point that the fense having used twenty-six peremp tory challenges had exhausted its legal number and two more. A bitter argument followed, the de- fenso, taken by surprise, fighting vig- « oroußly against the objections. ■•.t.Thn.i* court promptly ruled for th« state. w^ Half the jurors are citliens of Union '.'
