that It was desirable that they mak
a showing of their numerical strength

The labor movement should disasso

MRS. KAUFFMAN ASSAILED AS
SHE LEFT COURT ROOM.
PEOPLE SPAT AT PRISONER
Wealthy Jewess of Sioux Falls Is
Placed In Jnll Without Ball , Charged
With Killing Her Servant Girl Aw
ful Tortures Alleged.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Juno 21. Spat
upon , hissed , buffeted by the mad
dened mob , crying "Hang her ! " "Tear
lier to pieces ! " and uttering wrathful
Imprecations , Mrs. Moses Kauffmau ,
wifeof the millionaire brewer hero ,
charged with torturing a young ser
vant girl to death , barely escaped the
Hovoiest tteatment , If not Indeed
death , at thu hands of the enraged
populace IUMU yesterday.
Th la demonstration followed action
in the court room when Justice A. U ,
\Vheelock hold Mis. Knuffman to thu
circuit court without ball on the
charge of manslaughter. She Is ac
cused of causing the death by thu
most llendiHli tortures of 16-year-old
Agnes Polrols , who was n servant In
the Kauffman homo for three months
and whose death occurred Juno 1.
When the canlage occupied by Mrs.
Kaufmanii and licr husband drove ii [
In front ot the couit house the side
walk was tlosely packed with a duns. .
mais ol humanity and it was with ( III
llculty that policemen forced a passage -
sago thiough the crowd so Mr. ami
Mrs. Kaulmann could make their \\uj
to the court loom.
Whllo the party was crowi'lng its
way through the hallway to the coiiit
room Mrs. Kaulmann was vlgoro isly
hissed at by the spectators , the hisses
coming hugely from the women In
the ciowd. Mrs. Kaufmann Is of dark
complexion and , although fa'.ie wore a
veil , it could be seen that her faca
was as whlto as a sheet of paper.
After being In the court room for
a poilod of only a few minutes Mrs.
Kaufmann was again oscoited to thd
sidewalk , but tlinlr canlago had not
put In an appeal ance , and after a
painful \\alt of perhaps a minute oi
two horsi'lf , husband , and others o (
the little paity started across lha
street to n livery establishment , where
they for a lime sought refuge. Th"
crowd packed closely about them and
for a inoiiK nt theie were fears foi
Mrs. Kaulmann's safety. Some few
cries of "Lynch her ! " were heard.
After a confoicnce between the at
torneys it was decided that Mrs. Kauf
mann shoi'ld be taken to jail. A
physician was called to the jail to at
tend Mrs. Kaufmann , who had col
lapsed as the result of her trying ex
perience in the court room.
It developed that a number of so
ciety women , numbering botvpon fifty
and one hundred , held a meeting and
decided tha. . If Mrs. Kaufmann wai
not placed In jail after the conclusion
of her hearing and was again allowed
to occupy her home while In the cus' '
tody of the sheriff they would dyha >
mite the handsome Kaufmann home.
It Is said that they claim that because
their Intentions were made known to
the parties concerned , Mrs. Kaufmann
was placed In jail.
Escaped in a Hack.
The woman , with her husband , was
compelled to cross the street with but
scant protection from the Officers In
the face of this howling , cursing mob ,
In order to get a catriage , their own
having been spirited away. ' They al
most ran to the livery barn of Mayor
Burnslde at Dakota avenue and Ninth
street and there entered a closed ve
hicle.
An effort was made to escape by
way of a back door , but the crowd
was watchful and the horses , put in
a run as they left the stable , almost
stamped on men and women who were
waiting to do something , they knew
not what , to show their disfavor of
the accused woman. But for this
quick action In getting her away ,
some definite form of violence would
certainly have appeared. The mob's
fury was in awful crescendo and at
its height there must have come a
leader to direct the movement of the
crowd a movement whose result is
terrible to anticipate.
Mrs. Kauffman , almost In a state
of total collapse from the fright given
her , was taken to her home , whore she
has been a prisoner since her arrest
a week ago. An hour later , In a closed
carriage and by a detour of the back
streets , she was conveyed to Jail , in the
big stone court house. This action , It
Is stated by "both Judge Alken , her
counsel , and State's attorney Orr ; was
taken aa a means of protection from
the Infuriated people.
It Is declared that Mrs. Kauffman ,
although shrinking from the plainness
and chilliness of the cell after so much
luxury at 'home , showed evident relief
when assured of the protection of the
steel bars across the door.
The' alarm occasioned by the assault
by the mob loft her weak and' almost
hysterical. Naturally of fforld coun
tenance , the frjghtqned woman's - features
tures were of , ghastly pallor. , She sank
down on the Iron bunk , and burled- her
face In her han a. . . ,

inent .low brewer lioro , evidence will
bo Introduced to the effect that be
cause her own daughter was takoti
from her by death , IIOCIIUHU rho would
not forgive thu providence that lull
her nlono In her declining years , the
wealthy Jewess , determined that no
young girl about her Hhould enjoy
health and happiness. And this , thu
attorneys will assort , Is the remarkable -
able reason why Mrs. Knuffman , a
woman respected of all Sioux Falls ,
against whose character there has not
been n breath of reproach , at last tor
tured to death Aguuu 1'olrolti of Parks-
ton , S. 1) . , the Immlmimo little Aus
trian girl whom Mrs. Kauffmaii
In ought to hur homo only twelve
woolen ago as a maid.
On thu authoilty of every girl In
Sioux 1'alist who could he found and
who formerly worked for Mr.s Kauff-
man , thlH Is given as an explanation
of thu seemingly Inhuman cruelty with
which Mrs. Kauffman IH accused of
liilllollng foity-nlne wouudH on the pur-
son of Agnes PolrulH , pouring tin pen-
tine Into thu taw HOI OH , scalding the
legs with boiling hot water and then
forcing her to put the smarting and
swollen limbs Into a solution of lyu
until the lloHli slipped from the bonu
and llturally dropped off.
Not one , not oven the state , clalnui
that Mrs. Kaufl'man calmly murdered
Agnes Polrels. It was a case of slow
torture , and the trunk of bloody cloth-
inn , headgear and other personal ef
fects belonging to the dead girl will
1)0 ) used as evidence of the living death
the girl suffeicd thu last few weeks
she was on eaith. It will bo uhown ,
If possible , that wound after wound
was added day after day , assault add
ed to assault , till nt last the girl , a
mass of biultiOH , bleeding cuts ,
cooked Ilcsli and broken bones , wan
carried to the hospital to die the sumo
day.
It has developed that the girl was
unable to escape the tcirlblo torture.
She was practically a prisoner In Iho
luxtitloiis home of Moses Kauffman ;
held theio by fear of hur ml.slic.ss , her
Inability to get word by letter to her
father and mother , and her Inability
to commimicato with anyone In thu
mixture of Uermaii and Austrian ,
which was the only language Hho
know.
Several different girls of Sioux Falls ,
who have been employed by Mrs.
Kauffman , agiec that she was nn-
usually cruel to them In mote ways
than one. They stayed hut a , little
while. This has been the experience
of oveiy girl who ever worked for the
woman. They claim she forbade them
to lock their dcois at night , that Hho
might have access to their IOOIIIH , and
had oven gone to the oxIonL of coming
Into their rooms , standing over them
with fixed ga'/o from eyes which
snapped like lightning balls. It
seemed according to the girls , that she
yearned to grab them and strangle
them to death In her unforgiving hat
red , and treat them as fate did her
own child.
Citizens of the town from which the
girl came , have raised $15,000 for the
purpose of prosecuting the case.

Short Term M n.
In a speech In the house Rcprescnta
tire Perkins of Now York produced
some Interesting statistics about mem
bers of the bouse from the Empire
State. Of GOO members who were elect
ed up to 1801 400 served but one term ,
150 two terms and only one man served
ten terms , in the present delegation
there ore three who have served elev
en terms and one who has nerved nine
terms. In later years ho thinks the
average duration of congressional life
has doubled , and he attributes it to
the fact that congressmen have loss to
do with appointments than formerly.
