Midnight Mystery Unsolved.
That the Injuries sustained by Mrs.
John llearn, of D35 North Garfield ave-
nue, at an early hour Saturday morn
ing were not Inflicted by a burglar Is
the firm belief of the pollre. The
most probable theory of the mysterious
affair H that the woman, In returning
home from n neighbor's house, fell
against a post nnd sustained the In
juries which has shuts rendered her
unconscious,
The supposition Is that the mud
found on her clothing was gathered
In her fall, and the gash on her fore
head was Inflicted by her again falling
against the stairs In the house, nt
the foot of which she was found by
her son-in-law.
It was the latter who made an out
rry that attracted the passing street
car man. nnd Dr. D. W. Kvans, who
was called, notified the police of the
occurrence. Thu family are desirous
that the Incident be closed, but Mrs.
Hearn Is not yet out of danger nnd
may not recover.
The theory of robbery has been dis
pelled, as nothing Is missing, and the
published statement that the woman
was outraged Is unfounded sensational
ism. Mis. Henrn's condition was un
changed Inst night and It Is an even
chance that she will recover.
Pollco Searched In Vain
At 1" o'clock Friday night n
man rushed Into the Jackson
young
street
police station and Informed Mettle-mint
Williams that six men had Jut car
ried nn Intoxicated woman over Chest
nut street, towards the Mt. Pleasant
bleaker, and ho was of the opinion
that an outrage was contemplated.
The (illlcers had visions of the Kilna
Hunt ease, whlrh Is still fresh In their
minds, and four of the mlmmetllatrly
set out to round up the offenders. A
diligent starch was mnde through the
stieets and fields around the bleaker,
but no trace of the alleged offenders
could be found.
Two weary newspaper men also
Joined In the search, and after an
hour and a half hard work gave It up.
Another Speakeasy Raided.
Frank 'hiist, who keeps a green
grocery at the corner of Ilnblnsou
street and Falrvlew avenue, wns ar
rested by Lieutenant Williams anil
sijuad on Saturday night for maintain
ing a speakeasy. When arraigned be
fote the polite magistrate, Christ was
fined JSii.
The offender claims that he Kept bot
tled beer In hW house In Lonergan
court, with which to treat his friends
on Sunday. His circle of acquaint
ances must be very large, and their
thirst larger, as there were several
boxes of beer found on the premises.
