A BTKAN6LER CAUGHT.
Taken While Trying; to Throttle a
Colored Woman.
San Francisco, May 1. Another sup
posed strangler is behind the bars of the
city prison, and, unlike those who have
preceded him, he is, in a measure, self
confessed, and. was. also caught in the
very act of throttling a woman of the
half-world in a dark and deserted alley
off Montgomery street, near Washington.
It was at an early hour this morning,
when the crime was committed, and -at
that time, the electric lights being out,
it was as dark as pitchy :-: '
Officer F Robl, who patrols Mont
gomery street, was walking along' his
beat, when he was startled upon, reach?
ing Merchant alley to hear the gurgling
sound f)f a strangling human being;'; His
mind being full of the recent outrageous
murders, he quickly arrived at the con
clusion that another helpless woman
was being assassinated, and rushed up
the alley. Just as he reached the center
of the block be heard a man's voice
cry out :
"It you cry out I will strangle you to
death as I did - the other notorious
women of your class." .,. '
This spurred him on in his search, and
finally he spied a., large ' man with bis
fingers clutched around the throat of a
woman .who was prostrate on the pave--ment.

officer saw each other at the same time,
and the former releaeed his hold on his
victim and sprang as if to escape, but
Boh I was too quick 'for him, and soon
had him safely ironed. '
The woman then got up and both were
started for the California-street station.
On reaching the light tit was observed
that the victim of the assault was a
young colored woman. When they
reached the station a messenger was dis
patched for Detective Ben Bohn, and in
the meantime the man was charged with
assault and battery. , He gave, the name
of John Lewisr, and said he was an iron
moldor by occupation. He failed, how
ever, to explain the motive which led
him to assault and nearly murder the
woman. '
