Alice Gordon assaulted
The hospital admission records described Gordon's injury as "laceration of face." The injury was not serious enough for Gordon to be admitted to hospital. After treatment she left for home, 72 Sound Road, Rye, twenty miles north of where she had been assaulted. There was no mention of why Gordon was in Harlem. A number of businesses closed at 10:00 PM or 10:30 PM, so she may have just left work. Or Gordon could have been a patron of one the theaters or other entertainments on West 116th Street. The hospital admission records were the only source that mentioned Gordon. While those records did not include information about an individual's race, the description of her attackers as "colored men" indicated that Gordon was a white woman.
