Conviction of Rape.

At the late term of the Rowan Superior
Court, negro man named Oscar, the pro-
perty of r. W. Foard, Esq, was tried and
convicted for an attempted rape on Mrs. Bry-
ant of Concord. Oscar, as we learn from the
Watchman, entered the house at night in the
absence of Mr. Bryant, put out the light,
which had been left burning for Mr.. B., and
then got into bed with the lady. She dis
covered that the person was not her husband
screamed, struggled and the negro fed.
The Watchman describes Mrs. B. as rather
below medium size, delicate, of handsome
form. dark hair, and dark sparkling eyes
very fair complexion, with an attractive
pleasing countenance, expressive of sprightli-
ness, intelligence, spirit and frmness." She
underwent her examination before the Court
with Grmness, selfpossession and dignity
Mrs. B. recognized the negro by his voice,
by the light Of the moon which shone in,
through the window, and by the light from
the door, when he was passing out. The
punishment for the crime will be death.
The Charlotte Wing, noticing the case
says:
awe never heard of a female who came
into Court with such an irreproachable char
acter, being compelled to submit to so try
ing an ordeal as to be kept on the witness
stand 81 hours but with all the ingenuity
of opposing counsel she could not be made to
WAIVER or contradict herself" The same pa
per adds that if the jury had returned YER
dict of not guilty, the negro would have been
SHOT before he left the prisoners box.
