ASSAULT ALLEGED
YOUNG MAN’S STORY. [FEB FBBSB ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, August 30. A young man has reported to the police that he was inveigled into a motoi’ car on a recent night, assaulted, and left in a vacant section nearby. His story is that he was walking along Hanson Street, about 8 p.m., and was hailed by a man in a closed car, drawn up by the side of the road. He crossed the street and spoke to the man who asked him if he would have a look at something inside the car. By that time he had •seen that the car contained four men. The next thing he knew was that he was seized, and a handkerchief saturated with chloroform, or some such drug, clasped over his mouth. When he came to, about three hours later, he found himself lying in a vacant section in th© vicinity of the Winter Show building. He reached his home with difficulty, and was confined to his bed for some days. The assault appears to have been completely motiveless, as the young man was not robbed.
