speechless from fright, Miss Annlj
Lucchl, of 74 Lloyd street has recov
ered sufficiently to tell of her experi

that nearly cost her life.
Until yesterday Miss Lucchl had lain
in a stupor, unable to speak or indi
cate the details of the ordeal through
which she passed.
Durlnar the month that elanaed the
young woman who la a dressmaker haa
been under th constant care of a
physician, who said yesterday that
many times her life has been despaired
of. Whil she has regained her power
oi speecn ai jasi ana snows oiner signs
of improvement, her condition still is
precarious. ,
Frightened by the sudden approach
of the rufian she ran screaming toward
her home, a short distance down the
hill from Halght street. Cursing the
woman, the man followed In close pur
suit, and though Miss Lucchl stumbled
several times In making the hurried
descent of th hill, he failed to come
np with her. Miss Lucchl said that
It was only by the narrowest margin
that she managed to gain her own
doorstep, where she fell in a faint and
was found almost immediately by mem-
