Nor THE Enterprise
says: We have received letters from
two or three parties Of the name Of
Williams asking us to state that the
wretch who committed the henious
outrage upon the little girl In Gold
Hill, was in no way connected with
their branches Of the Williams family.
As It now appears that Williams was a
name the rascal assumed, on account
@ fhis having served out a term In the
State Prison Of California under some
other coguomen, all persons belonging
to the great and wide spread Williams
family may rest at ease. The Gold
Hill tribeIbelongs not to their tribe, Is
not Of their kin.
