MOB STORMS OAR BARNS. Two Thousand Women Tried to Tak< Prisoner Away From a Policeman. New York, August 0.?More oi what have-come to be seriously knowi at police headquarters as "near' crimes against gjrls wore followed b\ nearer lynching today. Out of th< score of complaints that readied th< police, a half dozen demanded serious attention. Whether the numbei is extraordinary is disputed, but cer tain it. is that never before has mol vengeance so frequently attended at tacks upon children. Led by a woman who, alternately in Italian and broken English cried "Avenge my daughter," a reckless crowd of perhaps two thousand persons tonight stormed the 14th Street car barns of the Metropolitan Street Railway company, where a policeman had sought refuge with a seriously pommeled prisoner. Paul Sorgcralo, a Greek peddler, [JO years of age, bad made the mistake, so it is charged, of kissing Grace Josco, an Italian girl of .11 years. A shrill cry from the girl and an impassioned appeal by the mother put the foreigners of the neighborhood in a rage and as the Greek took to his heels a crowd pursued him. When a block had been covered Sorgerato stumbled and fell, and I lie mob was upon him. Kicked nearly senseless, the Greek, a powerful man, nevertheless, gained his feet only to lie knocked down again. Some one had snatched a clot lies-line from the window of a grocery store, and I ho rioters attempted to put a noose over the offender's h<0d. Only the )ovcr-eagetrncss of each rioter to have a hand in the lassoing saved the peddler's neck. A policeman cluhed liis way to the endangered man. The crowd fell back and the oflicer dragged his man to the nearby car barns. Concealing his prisoner in a car, the olliee awaited assistance while the rioters threw themselves against llie doors in an effort to force an cut ranee. Police reserves stood oil' the mob, while the Greek was bustled into a patrol wagon. I'll rough a crowd that cried '"Kill liini, lynch him,"' the police fought their way to the nearest station bouse. Sorgerato's eyes were blackened, his nose broken, scalp torn, face lacerated, and bis body black with bruises. ('healed of their man the crowd vented its fury on Gaston Keriskell. an unoffending workman, homeward bound. As he was passing the rioters a boy pointed hi tit out, at the same time yelling, ''That's the man's friend, lie was there too." Keriskell was pounded until lie was unconscious. The police reserves finally removed him to a hospital. Edward Pratt, a millwright, 40 years old, bad a somewhat similar cxl?>ricnee late this afternoon in West T)7th street. Nellie and Helen Farrcll, each about ten years old, accused l'ratt of improper remarks, lie was I right fully mauled before being rescued from a mob by the police. Adelaide Wihirer, a nurse, fought off an assailant on the West Side today. The man was arrested. A man who attempted an assault upon a little girl in the street escaped. Tony Sarbo was arrested on n child's complaint in Brooklyn. A committee from the Central Federated 1'iiiou called upon Acting Mayor Mc<!owan today and offered to Inrnisli from the I'nion any number ot men needed to assist the polici in the present emergency. Mr. McGowan thanked the committee, but said he believed the "crime wave" had pasM'd. and that the poliec could d< what was necessary. The courts are acting promptly on assault cases. Paul J. Schmidt, n blacksmith, charged with having atatempted to attack a little girl, was today sentenced to the penitentiary for one year. Antonia Levant, for f similar otYense, was given si> months. "There isn't any crime wave,' i said Superintendent Jenkins, of th( S teV.y for the Prevention of Cruelty to ("h?Idren. today.
