NEW YORK. Aug. s.— One of the
most brutal crimes against. women and
children was charged today against
Luzza Fontza, who was locked up at
the New Brighton station on a charge
of attacking Antoinette Talueca, the
8 year old daughter of Antonio Taluccl
of New Brighton. .
Fontza and Taluccl both are laborers
employed at the King plaster mills in
New Brighton, and Fontza boarded
with the Taluccl family. He was left
with the child this afternoon while
Mrs. Talucci went . shopping. The
mother had not gone far from the
house when the child's screams brought
her back.
PURSUERS BEAT FUGITIVE
When he saw Mrs. ;Taluccl, Fontza.
rusheA from the house with the mother
In pursuit. Her cries brought out the
neighbors and soon a mob. was follow
ing the fleeing Italian down the street
Tbe pursuers soon -overtook the man
and he was knocked down and severely
beaten and kicked by men and women
until a policeman appeared and fought
off the crowd. ,
The child, on the. order of a magis
trate, was examined by a physician,
who reported that she was seriously in
jured. Fontza was held in $5,000 ball.
Angeljne Condarti, a 6 year old child,

charges. •
ASKS FOR 600 MORE POLICE
Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keefe,
who is In charge of the police depart
ment during the absence of Commis
sioner Binghara, asked the mayor and
the board of estimators' and appropria
tions today for funds to employ 600
additional policemen. The request will
be acted upon Wednesday.
Most of the crimes are committed In
isolated places. Mothers throughout the
city are terror stricken, and incidents
which under ordinary circumstances
would be passed over without second
thought are magnified and reported as
crimes which have little foundation in
fact.
Many of the police officials believe
there is not an unusual number of as
saults, but that the several murders
In the last few wefcks and the hys
terical condition of the people, particu
larly in the tenement district, hava
caused reports to the police of which
In ordinary circumstances they would
never hear. ;;\u25a0-, "^v-c
Thomas Anderson, a laborer, 20 years
old, was arrested in Brooklyn tonight
charged with attempt to assault 5 year
old Julia Sleischer. The girl, It is said,
was enticed by Anderson into a -.barn
in the rear of her home. She told her
parents and they notified the police,
who arrested Anderson.
May Mace, a girl of 16. says, that
while she was standing In the doorway
of her home in Seventh avenue tonight
Giuseppe Trlstre, an Italian, approached
her and asked her to go with" him. She
refused. Shortly afterward he re
turned and, it is alleged, threw his
arms around her. Her screams at
tracted attention and soon a crowd of
500 were chaeing<the Italian. He was
overtaken and beaten unmercifully un
til half a dozen policemen rescued him.
Israel Israelson met little Freda
Berkowitz, aged 7, in One Hundred and
Fifty-first street tonight and, according
to her story, offered her a nickel to go
with him. Her playmates told her
parents and a crowd gathered* about tho
man. The crowd became threatening
by the time a policeman appeared and
arrested Israelson.

Frequently when comps,ny was. present
It was made apparent •to the guests
that I was a mere nonentity.
"The conduct of my husband and
Mrs. Quinby became the gossip of the
town. I complained of my treatment
by this woman and my husband prom
ised to correct matters, but he did
not."
Mrs. Kagle says that she begged
her husband to take her from the
place. Then, she asserted, Nagle per
suaded her to go home to her parents,
saying that at the end of the fruit
season he would provide a new. home
for her. Ehe did so and then she dis
covered, according to her complaint,
that her husband had merely resorted
to a ruse to get rid of her. The com
plaint says:
"Soon after I came home I. received
a letter from' my husband in which
he said that he no longer- loved me;
that we must never meet again and
that he was going to leave California
in the fall. ' I went at Once to New
castle to seek an explanation." ' /
A; stormy Interview followed. Nagle
is accused of. having met his wife' 3
plea of inability to provide for herself
with the ugly declaration, "Sell your
ring, you can live oft that," referring
to a superb diamond engagement cir-r
clet that he had' given her.
Failing to reach an agreement, Mrs.
Nagle began a divorcs ' suit, in this
county, through Reed, Black & Reed,
her_ attorneys. -In her-behalf an order
of court: tying "up, 'pending the litiga
tion, all of "Nagle's; property : has been
made. A motion. '..for. alimony is pend-^
Ing, but since that was made Nagle's
attorneys have moved to transfer the
suit to Placer county.

progress in the selection of the Jury
was not made. Asked if they would
give weight. to the testimony of a cer

many of the jurors, responded. 7: "I

FIFTY-SEVE.V RESPOND
; Whan the -return was made yester
day^ morning- on the,- new panel of 100
names drawn by order^ of Judge j Dunne
last Friday, the report showed that
service had* been made, in 76 Instances
"and 57 members of the paqcl responded
when " their names were called. David
Bierman, ia. wine agent," and Patrick
O'Connell, a horseshoer, the j first
to be examined and were both excused
for bias. James Burke,' a retired. coal
dealer, who-declared himself unpreju
diced and without- a fixed opinion ;as
to the defendant's guilt, was | accepted
after a short examination by each side.
'Attorney ; Sehleslnger , required ". Ru
dolph Spreckels to "stand up - during
this juror's examination . for ; possible
identification as an acquaintance, but
Burke declared\ that .he had never, met
Spreckels. • Schlesinger explained; that
no disrespect ; was meant 1 to Spreckels
by the incident. ;
L. C. Babin was j excused on account
of. illness, and Hubert H. Allen, an em
ploye of the Western Electric company,
wa3 dismissed after a short examina
tion. Though Allen's firm furnished all
the supplies used -. by the \u25a0 Pacific Tele
phone company, it was not this that
caused his rejection, but his own.state T
ment that without knowing anything
of the merits of this particular case
he was 'for conviction "straight
through^ on the graft cases.
John S. Youngr, former keeper, of the
Russ house and .Netherland hotel, but
now retired, was passed by both sides.
District Attorney' Langdon questioned
him at length as to his relationship,
gaining information as to the business
associations > % of his five . sons and '\u25a0 two
sons in law. . "*\u25a0'"\u25a0
Then he asked the juror if he had -a
brother, in " San • Francisco.; j For : a j min
ute the juror was nonplused, but vtie
explained his. hesitancy by. stating that
he had 13 brothers,' of whom' a few
might be In San Francisco for all he
knew, but that he couldn't be quite
sure. Young caused a ripple of laugh
ter to go over • the courtroom : by this
statement, and there 1 was more amuse
ment when he declared that "to his
sorrow" he had an -interest In the
United Railroads, being the holder ' of
bonds which had depreciated In value
since* the beginning of the graft prose
cutions. He said jj that this would not
Influence himj however,' and believed
that the prosecution was right in giv
ing immunity to the ex supervisors.
