Prom the De Moines Qowa) Register. April rs.
Judge Maxwell has been holding a
special term of District Court in Gufh-
rie county, this week, for the purpose of
trying "Shep Tinker" indicted for an
assault with intent to commit rape on
the person Of Mrs. Ella Laekn1iller.
thinker" is frisky youth of 65 and the
prosecuting witness is 36 years of age.
Gen. Given, District Attorney, and
Brown & Nichols appeared for the State,
G. Hayden and d. o. Finch for defen-
dant. The testimony tended to show
that the prosecutrix had received visi
tors and strangers at unreasonable hours
of night; that the defendant had called
upon her frequentlys that on the 18th of
September last he spent three or four
hours with her, during all of which
time he was committing the assault
charged; that for several days thereafter
the prosecutrix had upon her arms and
limbs black and blue spots, the result of
violence used by defendant. The hear
ing Of the evidence occupied two days.
Mr.. Brown made the opening argument
on the part of the State. Mr.. Hayden
made the first argument in behalf of de-
fendant Mr.. Finch followed in a speech
of an hours length, pointed and pithy.
Gen. Given summed up in behalf of
the State in his vigorous style, directing
the attention of the jury particularly
to the fact that no matter how debased
character the prosecutr;x was, the de-
fendant would not be justified in
making the assault With intent as charg-
ed in the Indictment. va w eA
The jury was out few minutes after
receiving the charge from the Court,
and returned verdict of guilty, much
to the surprise of nearly everybody who
had heard the trial of the case.
Mr.. Hayden immediately made mo-
tion for new trial, which was overrul-
ed. Counsel for the defendant then
waived time, and Judge Maxwell sem
fenced the prisoner to Eve years in the
pcnItentlaFy
Mr.. Mcdonald, the genial and popu-
lar sheriff of Guthrie county, with his
usual promptness, started with the
prisoner for Fort Madison, and before
The Register reaches Guthrie Centre,
old Shep Tinker will be dressed in the
same kind Of clothes he used to wear in
Columbus, Ohio, and probably will
choose the same occupation he followed
there, as no fancy horses are allowed in
side the walls Of the penitentiary. The
verdict Of the jury, right or wrong, has
ridded Guthrie Center of pest, and
by the time the old transgressor has
reached three score and ten, if he ever
does, he will possibly be harmless.
