The affair took place in a room on the fourth floor of Abbey House, Westminster, occupied by the Income Tax Payers' Society. Shortly before the time of closing the office for the day, a man, since identified as Captain MacDougall, of Sunny-gardens, Hendon, called at the inquiry counter of the "society and asked to ace Miss Patricia Johnson, who is private secretary to Lord Decios, director of the society. He was known to be a friend of Miss Johnson, and "an occasional caller, so he was shown into the room where she worked and the door was shut.

A few minutes later the whole office was startled by screams from the room,

Miss and

Johnson stumbled through the door. She was wounded in the head and arms, and was just able to sob, Ha atatched me!" when she col lapsed.

At that moment the door of the room was slammed behind her, and the key was turned.

"Door Locked.

An alarm was at once raised in the building. A lift attendant was sent for the police, while Miss Johnson was attended by friends in the office. Several of the men clerks stood as gaard outside the door until a young police con- atable, brought from point duty outside Abbey House, arrived on "Pieu.the scene,
