Tho attack shrouded In mystery, and the present theory of the police Is thnt thp assailant believed that she wns some one else. Miss Goodwin, who has been for sev eral weeks on tho Willow Farm, near Coatesvllle, along with her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. nnd Mrs. Charles L. Storris, has been sleeping on tho porch of tho cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Storris sleep, on thc upper floor. Miss Good win kept her dog tied under the ham mock in which she slept. Shortly after midnight Mrs. Storrla was awakened by the bnrklng o the dog. Sho called her husband, and a few seconds later they heard Miss Goodwin calling weakly for help. Running down, they found her nt tho foot of the stairs, her head wet with blood. The dog was loose, having broken his leiish. nnd he. too, hnd received n heavy blow. Cut Above Ear Noticed ' "At first Miss Gocdwln thought that the blood came from somo sort of n hemorrhage in her enr." said Mr. Stor ris this nfternoon, "but we noted im mediately lhat'thero was a deep cut just nbove tho enr. "Wo summoned Dr. Chnrlos H. Stone from Coatewille. nnd ho said that it was probablv n knife cut She was tnken to Coatesvllle nnd is In no Im mediate danger, although the Injury is serious." "Wo are at a loss to account for the attack except on the theory thnt Rhe was mistaken for someone else, or that some intruder, intending to rob tbc house, came unexpectedly on Miss Good win and the dog and stabbed her and ran away. Miss Goodwin must have been unconscious for some time as she says that she was nwakened by the barking of the dog, who stopped as soon as she came to. "As Mrs. Storris and I both heard thc dog barking for some time before we heard Miss Goodwin's voice, she must have been stunned for a consider able period." Stato Pollco Notified State police were notified. It is their opinion that thc nttnek wns intended for some one else. Thc Willows is n fnrm operated by the Misses Finn nnd consists of a large estate on which there Is the main farm house und two small bungalows.
