Show A Brutal Act. On the 18th inst, about three p.m., a man named John McAdoo entered the house of James de Stevenson, corner of Hyde and California streets, by forcing the door. He attacked Mrs. Stevenson, beat and kicked her in the most violent manner, seized her by the hair and dragged her about the room to prevent her from leaving the house. He finally dragged her by the hair outside on the front steps, and thence through the garden enclosure to the descending steps to the street, striking and kicking her on the body incessantly. All of this brutality was without the least provocation. Alia. |
