The Patterson child is suffering from an acute m us shock, from a severe {injury of the back and from lacerations { of the mouth that was torn by the fin- gers of the little negress. It is feared that she also may have received internal injurfes. Dr. R. L. Hill is attending the little one, and he stated this afternoon that her condition was slightly improved. Just how the trouble began is not known. Annie ' Patterson attends the parochial school in Sacred Heart Parish ! at Fortieth and Grove streets, and she was returning home when she met Irene Rutherford in a vacant lot near the lat- ter's home at 731 Thirty-ninth street. According to Annie_the colored girl be- gan poking fun at her religion and at- tempted to take a little badge which the Sisters of the school had given her, and which she wore pinned on her dress. Annle says she tried to protect the badge, and, like a little tigress, the colored girl jumped upon her, knocked her down and began kicking her. Irene is also alleged to have got her fingers in the white girl's' mouth and to have torn the lips in a frightful manner, as well as knocking loose several teeth. The timely arrival of Pet Winckler, aged 13, who lives at 812 Thirty-third street, put an end to the brutal beating, as the older girl dragged the colored child from the victim and -assisted Annie to her home. Mrs. J, Patterson, mother of the girl, called upon Prosecuting Attorney Leach this morning and swore to a complaint charging Irene Rutherford with battery, and the colored girl was arrested at her home this afternoon by Policeman John Murray. Irene denies the stories told by Annle Patterson and Pet Winckler, declaring that she only slapped Annie for calling her names. / “She cried ‘Nigger, nigger, a8d made & face at me and I slapped her ™ said the girl. “That is all there is to it. I didn’t knock her down and I didn't kick her. T simply slapped ber. face.” Irene Rutherford wa¥ released to-night on a bond furnished by James "Washing- ton and John Wilds.
