Woman Sent Negro Into the Street

Planted Him Between the Eyes With Her Fist When He Insisted on Entering Her Home. When Mrs. George R. Thompson, of 350 Sycamore street, Camden, answered a ring of the door bell last night she was confronted by a big negro, who asked if Mr. Thompson was in. Mrs. Thompson replied that he was not, and the negro, placing his foot in the doorway, attempted to enter. "You cannot come in here," said Mrs. Thompson. "Oh, yes I can," replied the fellow, as he seized her by the left wrist. Mrs. Thompson although a nervous woman, is quite an athlete, and quick as a flash she shot out her right fist and planted a blow squarely between the negro's eyes, sending him sprawling into the sidewalk. Then, of course, she screamed loudly for help, but before assistance came the negro escaped through a nearby alley. In speaking of the affair Mrs. Thompson, whose wrist plainly showed the effect of the negro's grip, said that before ringing the bell the negro tapped on the window shutter and on the door as her husband has been in the habit of doing for years. The case was reported to police headquarters, and Detective Muffett was assigned to investigate. Mr. Thompson is also gunning for the negro.
