GRAND JURY INVESTIGATES
ALLEGED ATTACK ON GIRL
Miss DeMoss Tells of Events of Even
ing of Sept. 7
On Friday of laat week the grand
jury investigated the alleged attack
mude upon Miss Margaret DeMoss of
89th street by James Pierce of 7723
45th avenue. Several witness«« from
the Lents district appeared before the
inquisitorial body and told what they
knew of the matter. When the jury
reported Tuesday Pierce was formally
charged with criminal assault
From what the Herald can learn
the affair happened substantially as
follows: Miss DeMaas, who is a tel
ephone operator employed at the Ta
bor exchange, was on her way home in
a Ml. Scott car, accompanied, as far
as Tremont station, by a telephone
supervisor employed at the same sta
tion. Pierce was also a passenger on
the car and Mua DeMors says she
saw him watching her cloaely but
gave the matter no particular thought
at the time.
leaving the car at 89th street, the
young woman started homeward. As
she was passing the Third Avenue
Grocery, Pierce leaped upon her. she
says, grasping her with both hands
Jaaped around the upper part of her
face. Thia resulted in breaking the
tortoise-shell glasses she was wear
ing. She screamed and the man then
grabbed her by the throat and start
ed to choke her.’
Ray Gaston, proprietor of the
store, was lust eating supper in com
pany with his wife.
Hearing the
girlrs outcries, he hastily grabbed an
automatic pistol and rushed out into
the \«rd in the rear of the store. It
was very dark there and Mr. Gaston
could just make out the forms of the
couple on the ground. As he reached
the spot, Pierce jumped up and Gas
ton pointed the pistol at him. As he
did so, E. I. Markle, who lives nearby.
erosa«><i the street and took Pierce by
the arm.
The prisoner was taken up to
Stone's waiting room, where Mr. Gas
ton telephoned for the police. It waa
evident that the man had been drink
ing, it is said, although eyewitnesses
stated that in their opinion he was
not as intoxicated as he attempted to
appear after he was captured. ,
Beyond bruises to her throat where
the man had choked her, and General
shock, Miss DeMoss was not injured.
Pierce is a man of robust physique.
Miss DeMoss is a well develop«*d
young woman or she might have suf
fered other injuries in the struggle
Miss DeMoas states that the man
must have left the car after she did.
She immediately started for home
after she left the platform and heard
hurried footsteps behind her but sup
posed it to be someone anxious to get
home quickly. Then the attack came
as related above.
The young lady emphatically denies
the man's claims that she had ap-
liealed to him for protection or that
she ever saw him before. She is said
bv acquaintances to be a most estim
able young lady and those who know
her are certain that Pierce’s story
was fabricated from whole cloth in
an endeavor to avoid the conse
quences of hia action.
It is under
stood that Pierce asked to go before
the grand jury in order to testify in
his own defense, but as the proceed
ings are of a secret nature it is not
known what story he told.
Contrary to a report which was cir
culated around I>enta, no violence
waa done to Pierce.
He was not
assaulted by hia captors, although it
is remarkable that he did not faro
worse, considering the provocation.

The city ordinance intended to pre
vent the sale of tobacco to minors
must be amended to make it effective,
Circuit Judge Stapleton indicated last
week when he dismissed a complaint
against James Willis, proprietor of a
confectionery store on Foster Road
at Kern Park, charged with a viola-
tion of the ordinance.
Willis was convicted in municipal
court and fined $100 in order that an
appeal might be taken to the circuit
court.
The case waa dismissed when it
was shown by Lou Wagner, repre
senting Willis, that the delivery of a
package of cigarettes to Cecil Broth
ers, a minor, had been made upon
presentation of a note, apparently
signed by the boy’s father.
At the request of Patrolman White
and Harper, young Brothers, on Au
gust 15, presented a note to Willis,
asking that a package of ciparett««
be sold to “this bov", and signed "Mr.
C. Brothers”.
A slight change in the ordinance,
Judge Stapleton pointed out, will -re
vent dealers from selling cigarettes
or tobacco to minors, even upon or
ders from their parents or guardians.
The present ordinance. Judge Staple
ton held, does not prevent this.
