REV. MR MARPLE AS3AULTED.
TIIIKVKS 1NVADK THE Kl'ISCOI'AI. RKO
TORY AT DRlDGF.l'OKT.
A Daring Attempt to Rob,
A sensational assault and attemp
ted robbery took place Wednesday
night of last week, in Upper Merion
township, near Norristown, as a result
of which Rev. A. A. Marple, rector of
Old Swedes' Episcopal Church, is con
fined to his bed. Dr. Marple, in com
pany with his wife, daughter and
niece, Miss Shipman, was sitting in
the dining room of his residence, read
ing, when, shortly after 9 o'clock,
heavy footsteps were heard on the
porch, and an instant later the front
door was pushed open and two men
entered.
The face of each intruder was cov
ered with an improvised mask formed
of a pocket handkerchief, which com
pletely covered the features. One
man carried a sand bag, with which
he made several passes at Mrs. Mar
ple, while his companion covered her
with a revolver. When the men first
entered the room Miss Marple had an
idea it was a practical joke of some of
the neighbors, but a sight of the revol
ver quickly convinced her to the con
trary. DR. MARPI.K KNOCKKU DOWN.
Dr. Marple picked up his daughter's
chair to defend himself with, but be
foie he could make use of it was
struck a heavy blow between the eyes
with the butt of the intruder's revolver,
which felled him to the floor and par
tially stunned him. Miss Marple in
tiie meantime had run. upstairs for a
revolver, which she proceeded to fire
out of the window, while Mis Ship
man helped to arouse the neighbors
by sci earning anil ringinz the dinner
bell.
This had the effect of frightening
the robbers, who made good their es
cape before ht neighbors airived, one
of them first ordering Mrs. Marple to
lock the door after him, a request
with which she complied.
THE COUNTRY SEARCHED.
As Soon as the neighbors arrived a
search party was organized numbering
about fifty, which thoroughly covered
the surrounding country in the vain
hop.; of apprehending the perpetrators
of the outrigo. According to tlto tes
timony of both Mrs. and Miss Marple
the intruders were well dressed in dark
clothes, with cutaway coals and low
cut vests, were above the average
height and evidently young.
The wound on Dr. Mamie's fore
head was found to be an ugly but not
serious one. l here was no tracture
of the bone, but the flesh had been
laid bare to the skull for a space of
two inches, and the "effects of the
shock were necessarily severe.
This is the third time that an at
tempt has been made to rob the rec
tory, and the members of the church
are thinking of offering a reward for
the capture of the latest noctnrnal
visitors. It is supposed that the men
are identical with two who came to
Swedeland on a Reading Railroad
freight tram Wednesday afternoon,
and who made some inquiries concern
ing the rectory of some of those
around the railroad. Mrs. Marple is a
sister oi I. W., Chas. W., and J. B.
Mckelvy.
