Mrs. Marka Buila, of 1324 First Avenue, was the woman whose plight touched Mr. Brady’s heart. She told the jury that she had been robbed of all her money, jewelry, and clothing, and when she was summoned to testify last Monday, had to walk to the Criminal Courts Building from her home in Harlem.
The man against whom the woman was testifying was indicted.

Anarchist Plot Revealed.
One of the exhibits at the next county fair in Metuchen, N. J., will be a prize Jersey anarchist, guaranteed to give results any place at any time.
A farm where anarchists will be reared in proper anarchistic atmosphere was purchased recently by a man who said he was Harry Kelly, chairman of the Ferrer Settlement, of New York City. He bought the sixty-nine-acre farm of Walter Rush, in Raritan Township, where, he declared, the headquarters of the Ferrer School will be established about May 1st.
“Our main object,” he said, “in establishing the colony is to produce genuine anarchists, and we must rear our children in a thoroughly anarchistic atmosphere.”
The plot will be cut up into building lots. To each anarchist will be given one plot, upon which he is expected to sow the seeds of anarchy, tomatoes, and turnips. Kelly says the settlement will be the anarchist headquarters in the East.
