SUSPECT ARRESTED
Man Accused of Attack on Belle
Broemser Taken Into Custody.
FAILS IN IDENTIFICATION
MfM Broemser Not Certain that Van
GnndT Waa Her Asaailant and the
Police do Not Attempt to Hold Him
on the Charge.
Suspected of being the man who at
tempted a criminal assault on Mi Belle
Broemser, in the Tarker Horn last
Sunday evening, Hugh Van Gundy was
taken into custody by the police ye
terday, but released for want of identi
fication. He was intoxicated at the(
time of his arrest, and after the more
serious charge against ham was aband
oned, he was lxxkeJ as an ordinary
drunk, and taken before Judge Ander
on in the police court yesterday af
ternoon, A fine of $5 was assessed, but
this waa suspended by the court after
the prisoner had promised to take the
next outgoing steamer for San Fran
cisco. Yesterday foretioon, Miss Bnsmsflr
was taken to the city jail, and although
she failed' to positively identify tlp
man as her assailant he declares that
he 'tallies with him in many respects.
He: has long wavy hair and is about me
dium height, two points which the young I
lady was able to note, after her assail
ant had left her. In addition to this,
the' man had a number of scartches on
bis' face, which she declared would be
fin(nd if. 'Iter .'vfehu was ever captured.
Miss Broemser was first allowed to
see the man. suspected of the crime,
through a 'crack in the door leading to
the-chief of police's private eflWS:
While the young lady'was in the outer
office," Van Gundy was engaged in con
versation in the private office of Jhe
chief. The door was left slightly ajjir
and through this Miss Broemser was
able to get a good view of the sus
pected man.

might be the means of indicating Van
(ii-undy as he guilty one, was tit
bringing of Miss Broemser suddenly in
to the room, where her alleged assail
ant was confined. This plan, however,
was entirely Winn of results, and if
Van Gundy every saw the woman be
fore, liis demanor failed to indicate it
in the least.
Mis Brocsmer'a identification of Van
t'.undy as so unsatisfactory that the
police' did not attempt, to hold tJie
prisoner on a serious charge. She stat
ed that she lielieved Van Grundy to be
the man, yet she was not sufficiently
certain to positively identify him. lair
ing the encounter in the hotel, his re
marks to her were in whisper nJ "n
was thus unable to identify his voice.
Van Gundy made a pathetic pica to
Judge AAlerson. when arraigned for
drunkenne. He admitted beinr in
toxicated, but said be would never
drink another drop in his life, and
would leave on tle next boat for San
Francisco, if the court would let him
olT.
I have a little money." he said, "but
only enough to pay my fare to "Frisco.
If I have to pay this fine I cannot go."
He then told Judge Anderson that
he had worked in Brix's logging camp
since last March, and that his present
visit to Astoria was the first he had
made since that time. He later admit
ted that he had been laid up with an
injured hand, and that he had been
compelled to spend the majority of his
earnings for medical servufs.
The police are inclined to believe that
in Van Gundy, they have the guilty
wan. but the evidence against him, they
say, is not conclusive.
Theodore Broemser, the father of the
attacked girl, also believed that Van
Gundy is the guilty person, and be may
decided to swear out a warant for his
arrest todav. He savs he remembers
Van Gundy's face, aa a former guest
at the hotel.
' Van Gundy will be kept under sur
veillance. ; The Best Doctor. " "''

When Mr. Tarker arrived there were
eight sail and steam schooners load-
ins out of the three towns, and four lo

day long. One yard has three steam
schooners on the ways now, side by
side, and the lunilier trade there will
build thi class of carriers, hereafter
in lieu of sailing schooners which are
fast disappearing as too slow for the
