ATrgNrT At RArg.-Yesterday morning
Oscar Is. Robinson (colored) was Rrraigncd
before Justice Tucker, at the First precinct
station, upon \ charge of assault and battery
with intent to commit rape on Mary Jane
Thornton. colored. Mr.. A. X. Browne APP
pearcd for the defence. From the evidence OF
the complainant 1t appeared that the accused
went to her house IN the absence of her hus-
band and made an Indecent proposal to her.
such a PROPOSAL he having = wife and she \
husband. lie Insisted, and finally took hold
OF her and tried to carry her up stairs bodily
In his arms. She told him she would alarm
the ncighbors, and threatened to tell his wife
and her husband lie let go snd tried TO per-
suRde her not to do anything of that kind.
She ordered him to leave the house, when he
again seized her and took improper liberties
with her. She finally succeeded in making
him leave the house,
The affair occurred on the 22i instant, and
though she told her husband that day, she had
no courage to have Robinson arrested until
this warrant was ISSUED. Robinson admitted
that he WAS at the house aud made the proposal
AS sworn to by the complainant. and cont tended
that he had right to do so, aud she had a
right to refuse; but he denied that he had com.
mitted any assault upon her. The counsel, ia
view OF the fact that he had no witness pres
ent to contradict the statement asked that
the defendant be allowed reasonable time tu
obtain security, which was, of course, allowed,
and the defendant gave security in 5000 for hi
appearance At court.
