Negro Brutally Beats East Camden Woman
Knocks Her Over Embankment and Chokes Her—Police Have Clue to Assailant
Miss Jennie A. Craig, of 206 South Thirty-second street, East Side, Camden, was brutally attacked by a negro Wednesday night on Federal street. Miss Craig was walking home when she met the negro. As he passed he dealt her such a severe blow in the face that she went tumbling down a six-foot embankment. Her assailant leaped down after her and seized her by the throat. He failed to silence her screams, however, and finally, fearing that someone might hear her, he fled.
Miss Craig managed to reach her home. She told her brother of the attack, and he procured a revolver and started out after the negro. Failing in his search, Craig notified the police, who now say they are working on a clue.
Miss Craig is suffering from shock.
