Alfred Smith is Still in a Dazed Condition. Alfred Smith, whdywag so terribly injured near Collifis" Bay, on Wednes- day afternoon, regained consciousness duking the night, at the gemesal hos- pital. He stood the operation well and hopes are held out for his recov- ery, although he is still in 'a very serious condition. Dr. Mylks stated that his patient was still in a dazed condition and was suffering very much from shock. His eyesight is still in jeopardy, especially the sight of the left eye. It seemed to be the leit side of the face that suffered most. The arm was amputated as soon as he ar- rived at the hospital and the injuries to his face were dressed. The patient has not been in a fit condition yet to give any detailed ac- count of what happened. He has spoken of the tragedy only once or twice, both times saying that he and his brother were tamping.

Instead, she sum- moned her own private physician and kept her own counsel. The widow Sample has lived for the last éight months on the second floor of the flat house at No. 577 Franklin avenue. The death of her husband left her comfortably situated. She has two daughters, with one of whom, Mrs. Albert Joost, she shares her apartments, to Greenwood to lay flowers on the grave of Mrs. Sample"s dead son, { Paul. While they were gone, at about four o'clock, according to Mrs. Sam: ple, there came a knock on the door. "Who's there ?"" she asked. "It's 'Jimmie,' * was the answer. ed in a house wrapper, unlocked the docr. Acgerding to her story, a young man and twe women stood in the hall. She says she didn't know any of the party, but the police suspect she was well acquainted at least with the man who' had given the name of Jimmie." ' However, that may /be, Mrs. Sample says she was standing, inquiringly in her open doorway, when the man seiz- ed her and thrust her back into the flat. The two young women followed. The man held Mrs. Sample by the arms while the two women, before she realized what was happeming, had pried open her mouth and crammed | into it a rag stuffed with red pepper. Though suffering terribly, the widow was unable to make any outery. She struggledi to free herself, only to find that she was being lifted bod- iy from the floor by her visitors. By the combined efforts of the three they managed to drag the woman to her bed in an adjoining room. The trio flung her across the bed and stripped her of every bit of her clothing. Then, while the man héld her down on the bed, the women produced a large bottle of raw carbolie acid-and began, with fiendish deliberateness, to rab the acl over her entire body. Starting at het head, and #Hpplying the acid with ragh, they #ibbed her face and neck and throat, thew all the front of her body: after which, un- mindful of her helpless "agdny, the two women, with the man's assistance, turned Mrs. Sample over; dnd, as de- liberately as before, rubbed {He entire back® part of her body, put the empty carbolic bottle on the floor and left.
