PATCHOGUE, L.I., Feb 25—Mrs. Julia Dodderidge (sic), 32 years old, was beaten into unconsciousness today by a Negro chauffeur at her home, Cedar Farms, on Honey Lane [Old Barto Road], Brookhaven, near here. Her assailant fled in the family station wagon and was last seen boarding a train at Bellport. Mrs. Dodderidge, the wife of Ralph Dodderidge, a member of the statistical staff of The Wall Street Journal, was in the house alone except for her grandmother, Mrs. Emma Harris, who was ill and in bed on the floor above. While reading in the dining room, Mr. Dodderidge was startled to find the chauffeur, Frank Williams, 30, standing beside her. He made a lunge for her and she jumped up from the chair out of his grasp. The man pursued her and when Mrs. Dodderidge broke away again, he picked up a milk bottle and beat her with it. The blows knocked out several teeth and caused a possible fracture of the nose. Meanwhile her screams attracted Mrs. Harris, who made her way down to the dining room. When she reached the room the assailant had fled, and her granddaughter was lying on the floor unconscious. Mrs. Harris went to the telephone and called Mrs. Beatrice Nelson, the injured woman's mother, in New York, who called the police here, who in turn called the Brookhaven police. The delay gave the assailant a chance to escape. The chauffeur had driven the station wagon to the railroad station where he met Arthur Carill, a friend, who accepted $1 to drive the car back to the house. He told the police that Williams said he had quit his job and was leaving the town. Williams had been employed by the family for seven months as chauffeur and general handyman. His last known address was 162 West 144th Street, New York City. He had been well recommended when he came to the job, the family said. Mrs. Dodderidge's father, Charles Nelson, who died several years ago, was vice president of Pictorial Review. Mrs. Nelson spends the Winter in New York while Mrs. Harris and the Dodderidges occupy Cedar Farms.
