The extraordinary procedure was male necessary in order to hold Frank, Brach, the young giant of nineteen years who ts accused of making @ brutal attack upon Miss Waugh near her home on the evening of Oct. 11. After Brach was arrested by Detec- tives Geisler and Henne and tdentified by the young woman, Magistrate Hylan told the detectives that he had the power only to hold the prisoner with. out bail for forty-eight hours in ad. vance of a» hearing, -They ‘thought that Miss Waugh might to-day be able to appear an a witness aguinst her al- lewed asratlant. When {t became apparent that the girl's physical condition would not per- mit her to be brought to the ouurt- room, and the time limit during which the prisoner might be held without bail was about to expire, the M trate ordered his clerk and the police- men to transfer the seat of justice from the Fifth avenue court to the home of the victim of the attack.
