Would DISGRACE A ROPE-An EW6O0t-
D,ent Of In,pudence.-Last Monday evening
{; rather genteel appearing fellow, who uses
Two names, C. H. Green and c. H. DeKamp,
entered the shoe store of Mrs. Weisheimer,
on Claiborne street, pretending to peddle
medical work. a copy of which he persisted
N selling to her. She is handsome, artless
and quite refined in her manners, and has
been married about a month, her husband
'aboring at No. % Baronne street, while she
attends to the home and store. She is I'M
used to the ways of the world, quite guile
less. and easily imposed ON by any mounte-
ban who chooses to enter her neat establish
ment.
Her statement is that this man or thing,
entered her store and introduced his bust
ness by offering for sale the medical book,
and notwithstanding she informed him that
ehe did not wish to purchase, he still re-
manned, and in the cOarest, lowest kind of
language, made obscene proposals to her,
which she in vain essayed to avoid. She
left the room, making excuse that she had
business in the kitchen, and remained out
side ten minutes, hoping he would leave,
but he did not depart. Fearing to leave
her store alone, she was compelled to re-
main, when he again commenced his vile
overtures, until even her timid mind began
20 rise i'll opposition, and she ordered him
cut. but he did not go. The language he
us<tlto this unprotected lady was such that
we can not repeat. 1t was OF the
sort not even tolerated in house Of prosti-
tuition. He finally left, but said he would
return the day following. Informing her
husband of these singular circumstances, he
determined to remain with her, hoping to
catch the rascal, but after waiting until
dinner time, they concluded he would not
return. The husband had not been gone
more than an hour when DeKamp made his
appearance, and entered into the same kind
OF conversation INDUCED in the day previous,
talking OF her domestic affairs. She for
-unately discovered Officer Hartman, made
a complaint and sent him to prison.
Yesterday Recorder HoughtOn released
nm on one hundred dollars bonds, to APP
pear on the twenty-fifth. Accused is rather
all. tolerably well dressed, and wears Il full
beard. and has lately been engaged selling
medical work edited by parties Of this
city. We have no particle of doubt that
her statement is altogether true, yet she
will not repeat his foul expressions. Whether
entirely correct or not, if even one single
portion be true, the indecent perpetrator
deserves punishment far greater than the
law can or will give him. A little whole
some rail-riding might teach him to keep
decent tongue, and warn others like him.
If such as he are permitted to roam abroad,
our families are all liable to he grossly in
suited, and our innocent children taught
libaldry. We do not teach or preach de-
parture from the law, but must give ex-
preston to the belief that if this man should
be marched through our principal streets,
p,acarded as ..beasN' little harm would
ensue, but possibly great good might grow
ont of the example. As the la W reads, the
maximum of fine is twenty-five dollars,
which amount might, with prOpriety, be
ouadrupled. The examination will take
place ON the morning of the twenty-fifth,
Monday next, when Mr.. Alexander Dal-
sheimer will voluntarily appear for the poor
lady to prosecute the wretch who invaded
the sanctity of her peaceful home. 1t is
hoped all husbands, fathers, brothers and
lovers will visit the First District Court
room to take look at the accused, for lie
might possibly repeat his offenses.
