BARELY ESCAPED LYNCHING Hud 1'iteh Heen Cuihjht, His Shrift Miijht Have Been Urief. ASSAULTED MAGGIE M'AXDKEW Attempted Crime of u Drunken nuJ Dissolute Character Almokt F.uds in llloodshcd-Clllprlt Held for Court. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Forest City, March 28. An attempt at a horrible crime was made in this bor ough Monday evening, when "Jack" Fitch, a rather tougli and dissolute character, attempted to ussault the 4-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James McAndrew. Just after supper Maggie, the little girl in question, went outside the house expecting to return In a few moments. As she had not re turned after the Interval of about fif teen of twenty minutes, her mother went to look for her, but could not find thu Utile girl. Thinking that posslUy Maggie had wandered to the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Harry Fvans, Mrs. McAndrew went there. The child had not been there. Now, thoroughly alarmed, she Inquired at the houses of different neighbors, but to no avail. Returning home, she found Fitch, or Fltzpatrlck, as he sometimes calls him self, standing on Main street, in front of her house, holding the child In his arms. She asked liiiu where he had found Maggie und ho said he had seen her wandering down Main street, near H. W. Taylor's store, and had brought her home. The mother took the child In the house and, noticing that the little girl had been crying hard, nsked her where she had been. The child re plied that a man had Btood on their back stoop when she went out and had coaxed her down the steps. He had then seized her, crossed Main street, and carried her into a vacant lot, near Krantz's bottling works. There he had thrown her down and when she screamed, threatened to choke her. The child being hardly old enough to un derstand the Intentions of her brutal captor could go no further with her story, but her mother found on exam ination that the little one's under clothing wus torn in shreds and that she was wet nnd bedragged where she had been thrown on the ground. Evi dently the screams of the child had frightened the fiend from carrying out his purpose. Looking for the Criminal. A posse of men, with the almost crazed father, started out in pursuit of Fitch, and had they succeeded In find ing him It Is highly probable that the story of a lynching would have been told. But no clue could be found of the criminal. Meanwhile the olllcers had been In pursuit of Fitch and yes- j terday morning about o'clock fun- i stable Bates and Officer Ledyard cap tured him In the house of Cassle Kelly, on Delaware street, where he has been boarding. He was taken before Squire W. J. Maxey at 9 a. m. At the olllce of the Justice the little girl easily Indentl fled Fitch as the man who had carried her off. Two employes of Mr. Krantz also swore that he came Into the bot tling establishment with the girl In his arms; that they asked him where he was going with her, and that he said he had found her on the street, and was gidng to take her home. When there Fitch was under the inllueiice of lliiuor. Fitch swore he was so drunk he did not know what he was doing, but was sure he had offered no Indignities to the child. Justice Maxey held him In $1,500 ball to appear before the next grand Jury at Montrose. In default of j ball he was taken to tho county seat yesterday morning by Officer X. K. Brundage.
