“I Have Been Assaulted, Robbed and
StIicken Deaf and, Dumb.”
Young Molloy Is Evidently .Not Sham-
ruling, and His Startling Story and
Cofidition Are Puzzling the Doctors
and Police of New York City;
NEW YORK, June 211—0119 of 9193’s....
agest of the many'str'ange cases that has
ever occured in this city is that of young
David Molloy, son Of William' Molloy,
David Dudley Field’s secretary, who on
Mfinday last went on a collecting tour for
his father, returning moneyless, watchl'ess
' ,and powerless to hear or speak. Young
Molloy had collected rents amounting to
8%8, and started for his father’s oifice.‘
Reaching Chatbam square he left the ele-
vated train and bought a glass of beer at a
saloon, the number of which he has for-
gotten. He remembers nothing more till
he found himself with aparty of young
men in Pell street.
One of the fellows hit him and he es-
caped from their company, going to a.
lodging house in the Bowery, where he
found he had been robbed of his watch and
a canvas bag containing his collections
and his receipt books. When he 'c.1me to
himself on the street he was totally deaf
- and dumb. Mol-
loy then m: ule his
way to the police
station and wrote
on a slip of paper,
“I have been as-
saulted and rob-
bed and stricken
deaf and dumb.”
Detective Price
got the boy to
write all that he
. could recollect of
'What had oc-
curred, ’;11111 with-
in a. few hours he
had arrested three
or four persons
who were con-V

cerned in the assault.
boy’s father was Sent for, and late on
Wednesday he came and took his son
home.
Physicians were summoned, but they
could th1 ow no light on the victim’s pecu-
liar mental condition. There was a sus-
picion that the boy was shamming, and
various means were adOpted to entrap him
_into speaking. Through all the night the
, bOy’s father, mother and sisters watched
= him while he slept, hoping that in his
sleep he might'betr’ay the fact that he still
"possessed the power of speedh. Not a.
sound did he utter. In the morning he
awoke refreshed, but still as dumb, ap-
parently, as if he had never had the power
to articulate, and his deafness could not
be doubted.
Every Test Failed.
The toughs who had been arrested as
the boy’s cassailants were arraigned in
court yesterday. One of the men admit-
ted hitting Molloy, but said _heVdid so be—
cause Molloy was drunk and staggered
against him. The three men insist that
Molloy was a “dummy” when they met
him. They admitted the possession of
Molloy’ s watch and empty bag, but said
they were picked up. on the street after
the hitting, when the “dummy” ran away.
The case was put over till Monday next
Ifor further investigation.
Molloy’s conditiOn was the subject for
much discussion' 1n the courtroom. There
Were these who believe that he was ad- ‘
dicted to the Opium habit, while others
were of the Opinion that he hadlbeen given
a “knocker out.” A “knocker ’ out” is a.
drink which is given to well dressed men
in many of the dives in this city. Fre-
q’uently prisoners, when arraigned in
court, find that they have been robbed of
every valuable that had been' 1n their pos-
session. Their minds are a perfect blank.
i. Detective Price believed at first that the
young man had been playing the races and
had lost his money in' that way, concoct-
ing the story of assault and robbery and .
assuming to be deaf and dumb to support
it but he very soon changed his mind.
After a few tests the detective became con-
vinced that the boy had told the truth.
The first test was an old One. The detect-r
ive took the boy to the back room of the
station house, seized him by the shoulder,
wheeled him around quickly and shouted:
“Come, now, we’ve had enough Of this.
Speak out or I’ll”— Here he drew a big
club. , ' ,
The poor .bOy shivered with fright and
crouched down as if expecting tO receive
another cruel blow, so many of which he
had so lately received. He made strenu-
ous efforts to speak, but could only utter
inarticulate sounds—half groans,half sobs.
Mr. Price had not the heart to carry the
test further; the boy’s attitude was too
pitiful. 7, ’
Still, other tests seemed necessary, and
' the detective resorted to every scheme his
ingenuity could suggest, but every one
failed to make the boy speak or seem to
hear.
His Playmate “’35 a. Mute.
Mr. Molloy, the boy’ sfather, was seen at
2 Mr. Field’s Ofiice' 1n the Washington build-
ing Friday. The poor old gentleman was
almost heartbroken. There had been no
change' 1n the boy’s condition, he said, and
apparently he wasasdeaf and dumb as if
he had not lied‘ possession of all of his
faculties up to Monday. The other men
iD the Office all said the hey Was as honest
as the day is long. He was always honest,
tDey said, in even the smallest thmgs.
féDr. F. P. Turtler, whb first examined"
young Molloy, said there could be no doubt
of the boy’s present condition although
there might be many theories as to the
clauses of that condition. He had never
heard of: .9691; effects being produced by,
sunsti‘oke, ‘nd he did not think that to the
terrible hea Of Menday coiild be attributed"
the suspension of two of the boy’s senses.
He would yvatch the patient closely for
severadeys, he said, and 1D the mean time
he wOuld not like to commit himself to
aDy theory as to the cause f‘the cond1t10n ,
or 1t§gprobable outcome. ii ‘
Monday morning Molloy was a
b:right, strong, athletic fellow, fond of out-
door sports and full of business shrewd-

l NEW YORK, June 20. —The steamship
Sophie. which arrived here Friday mom-
ing from Cardifi, Wales, brought fourteen
men, the crew of the bark Exile, of St.

her. Her port quarter was also smashed
in and all her boats gone. The crew were
on the poop deck, lashed to the rails. The
1 port side of the deck was carried away
and all clean svvept, the gale being heavy
and a. tremendous sea.
.All the Sophie’s crew were called togeth-
er and volunteers asked for to try to res-
cue the wrecked ship’s crew. The officers,
who were Germans, instantly volunteered
to go, but the crew, which were Italians,
would not go. It not being deemed pru-
dent to let all the officers go for fear of
losing them 911,911.. Sophie steamed down
to the bark, and her captain told the
bark’s officers that he would try to get
them off as soon as the weather was a
little m01e moderate.
The next morning it wa‘ resolved to try
to rescue the crew at once. '1 he Italians
still refused to go, and the officers manned
the starboard lifeboat aml succeeded with
the greatest difficulty in 1escuing the
whole (new in two trips. They saved
nothing but what they stood 1n.

An Invention That May Revolution-
jze Wagon Locomotion.
AN ELECTRICAL ROADSTER.
It Was Conceived by Inventor Reitz, of
Indianapolis, Who Says It \Vill Make
Ten Miles an Hour and Go Thirty
Miles on 8. Stretch. __
INDIANAPOLIS, June 20.—An Indianapo-
lis electrician, Charles Reitz, has invented
an electric motor—or storage battery road
vehicle. He says he has been working on
this invention for over two years. “Yes,"
he said, when I asked him about it, “I
have been working rather quietly, because
I did not see any use in letting the world
know what I was doing until I was sure
of success. But I haven’t any doubt of
the success of the invention now.
“The buggy is practically completed. I
mean the mechanical part of it. After we
have tried it on the street I will take _it to
a carriage maker and have him finish it.
We have run the vehicle back and forth in
the room, and it works like a. charm.”
The Mechanism of It. 5‘
Then Mr. Reitz explained to the reporter
the mechanism of the vehicle. It is pro-
pelled on the same general plan as the
storage battery street cars. Thirty cells
of the battery are placed under the seat of
the vehicle, and will hold enough elec-
tricity, Mr. Reitz says, to run the buggy
eight or ten hours without being re-
charged.
Extending from the dashboard of the
buggy over the laps of the occupants of
the seat is a lever by which the vehicle is
guided. On this lever are four electrical
buttons by which the vehicle is con-
trolled. By the touch of the thumb the
brake is applied, and by the touch of an-
other button the current of electricity is
shut Off.
“You haven’t any idea how much power
is stored in these cells,” said Mr. Reitz.
“There is enough electricity stored there
to produce 10,000 candle power of light.
Let me show you.” Then Mr. Reitz
formed a circuit of two wires, each one
hooked to a carbon. He touched the
points of the carbon and a. light was pro-
duced that in its brightness almost blind-
ed One. The ends of the "carbons were
heated white and were burned like wood.
TenVMiles an Hour.
“What will the speed of the vehicle be?”
“I think the average speed will be eight
or ten miles an hour. Of course it will be
possible to travel a great deal faster over
smooth roads. I am confident the buggy
will travel all right over any kind of
roads, and I am just as confident that it
will come into general use. What can be
nicer for a woman? There is no danger of
arunaway horse here. Then the vehicle
will be much easier guided than one
drawn by a. horse. There will be no neces-
sity for running into any ruts in a road.
It will be as easily guided as a bicycle.”
“Won’t the question Of recharging the
batteries stand in the way of the general
introduction of the vehicle?”
“I think not. My idea is this: If the
storage battery vehicle is a. success, as it
will be, have the company that manufac-
tures them run underground circuits all
over the city. In every square can be
placed a station. A small pipe, resembling
a gas pipe can be run up from the ground.
“The owner Of the storage battery ve—

fornia tomorrow with a storage battery
vehicle. There is scarcely a small town in
‘> the west that hasn’t an electric plant, and
Icould recharge my battery as often as
would .be necessary. This buggy will
make thirty miles, I think, without being
recharged. People who own storage bat-
tery vehicles may also have an under-
ground connection with the buggy shed.”
The battery and all the machinery of
Mr. Reitz’s vehicle weighs about 450
pounds. 'Mr. Reitz thinks the weightis
just sufficient to make the springs ride
easily. Unlike the cells on the street cars,
those on this vehicle are hermetically
sealed, and Mr. Reitz points Out many
other improvements over any other stor-
age battery that has ever been invented.
Mr. Reitz expects to take his vehicle out
for a trip over town in a few days.
