HARPER, No, 1401 Dean street, Brooklyn. Miss Mary Harper, the young woman who was brutally attacked on ‘Thureday night by two well-dressed members of the Bedford avenue gang, to-day, after her father had offered a reward of $100 for their arrest, con- sented for the first time to tell her own version of the affair. Still weak and nervous, she told her story to an Evening World reporter who called at her home. She said: “I left home on Thursday evening at 7.35 o'clock te go to our church, where a fair was being given that evening. I carried a basket containing a vase and a purse. There was $7.20 in the purse, “I started down Dean street on the north side, on which our home Is. As I approached the corner of Brooklyn avenue I saw two young men stand- As I passed them I glanced at them ing under the lamppost reading a note. casually. “AL first glance I thought I recognized one of the men as a friend. A second look showed me plainly that I was mistaken, and I passed on. The man was considerably stouter than the young man I had in mind. FOLLOWED BY THE MEN. “as I went by I heard gne of the men say to the other: ‘Well, if we are going to get there in half an hour we had better start now. A few seconds afterward they started down the street quite a distance behind me. It is a long block and they walked faster than I did, gradually overtaking me. “They were just behind me when I reached the alley above the school- house. 1 was not thinking of the men at all and did not step aside to let them pass. Just as I got opposite the alley one of the men grabbed mv around the neck and the other seized my basket. I sank to the ground, al- most fainting with fright. I have a clear recollection of their kicking me in the face and about the body, and it hurt me awfully, “While they were struggling for the basket two women who were coming along on the opposite side of the street saw the struggle and turned and Tan away. THEN THE MEN RAN AWAY, “Just then the vase fell out of the basket and broke with a loud noise. ‘The men then dropped me and ran back to Dean street on the same side of the street toward Brooklyn avenue. I was too weak and frightened to cry out, and how I got up from the sidewalk and made my way to the church {do not know. I was so terribly nervous and in such pain from the assault that I marvel that I did not faint away. “Then the police came and questioned me. Notwithstanding my weak and hystericaal condition they kept at me, asking and asking what my as- sailants looked like. I described them as well as I could, and finally one of the policemen asked me if I didn't know some one who looked like one of the thugs. “I told him that I knew a young man who looked like one of the men who attacked me, only he was much taller. Then they badgered me and kept at me so insistently that I at Iast gave them the name of the friend 1 referred to, I stated to them distinctly, however, that the young man in question was not one of the two who set upon me, “The police have deliberately distorted the statement—for what reason I do not know. I do know that the inference that might be drawn from some of the statengents made by the police do me a terrible injustice.” “OUTRAGEOUS,” SAYS THE FATHER OF THE GIRL. who attacked her, but refused to tell his nam Edward Harper, the eldest son of Mr. Harper, said to an Evening World re- porter that Doth his family and thelr Declaring his belief that the police of me Atlantic avenue station had aban- doned their efforts to find the two well- dressed thugs of the notorious Bedford gang who brutally attacked his daugh- ter on Thursday night, Mr. Harper, a friends were convinced that the police woaithy Insurance broker, ahs offe e1./naq intentionally gone to sleep on the a teaacd of $100 for tho arest of the | ase, and therefore the father had been men ‘lew | Ut#ed to offor a reward and also to hire it is outrageous the way the police private detectives to discover the iden- tity of his daughter's assailants, ‘Tha members of the New York Ave- nue Methodiet Episcopal Church are have treated my daughter In this mat- tor’ said Mr, Harper to-day, "After she was set upon by these two young men, kicked, beaten, left almost uncon-!15u4 jn their denunciations of the pottee scious in the street and had barely | or jsauing the statomente they did strength to drag herself to the doors of | ayout the cage.

ACCIDENT CAUSES PANIC IN THEATRES (Continued from First Page.) could be heard for blocks a sheet of flame shot along the writhing wire to the eaves of the Brooklyn Citizen Building, ending in a busrt of flame five feet long and setting fire to the roof. The crash of the broken beam and falling steel girders, followed by the noise of the flaming electricity that curled along the steel cable, filled the great square about the City Hall with a crowd of men and women, who ran about shouting and screaming. S A part of the broken boom had crashed through the roof of the Brook- lyn Citizen's butiding, where a number of women were working and who fled in panic to the street. Another part of the broken boom fell upon the roof of J. P. Stitch's tailor establishment, where there were also a number of women at work. Soon the entire neighborhood was in an uproar that carried within the doors of Hyde & Behman's and the Park Theatres. Cries of fire were raised in both theatres, precipitating a mad rush for the doors, in the course of which women and children were roughly handled, a number being knocked down and trampled upon. CAR PASSENGERS TERRIFIED. For fully ten minutes the electric current snapped and sizzled and flamed along the steel cable connecting the trolley wires and the eaves of the Brooklyn Citizen's Building, terrifying hundreds of passengers in trolley cars which were congested about the City Hall square opening away from the Brooklyn Citizen's Bullding. All the fire apparatus {n the neighborhood was soon on the scene, the plowing of whistles, clanging of gongs and pounding of hoofs on the cob- bles adding to the genera! clamor. While the electric fiame continued to burn along the steel cable, how- ever, the firemen could do nothing, as the shooting electric flames cut off all approach to the burning roof. By the time the great square was a writhing mass of shouting people both the trolley wire and the steel cable burned in two and fell hissing to TOWER ROBBERS {BUCHANAN FIRST DYNAMITE SAFE}.

(Bpecial to The Evening World.) CAMDEN, N. J., Dec. 12.—Five des- peradoes, supposed to be the same men who have been making attacks on rail- road towermen in Pennsylvania, held up and robbed two bridge-tenders, dyna- mited a safe in a railroad station and had an exciting battle with two police- men, after shooting at trainmen in the suburban district of this city known as the East Side at an early hour to-day. The men escaped, and no trace of them has been found. Gothed in long overcoats and without masks, they first appeared shortly before midnight at the State street bridge over! Cooper Creek.

When the trolley wires on Adams street burned in two, however, the current was immediately shut off from all the lines leading from this junc- Uon of wires to the approaches to the bridge. Hundreds of cars were stalled for blocks leading to the Willoughby street junction of Fulton street, and there was no prospect of repairing the dameged wires in a short time, as the current had to be turned off before the electriclans sous get to work.
