with committing rape on Ophelia Smith, a

of the girl, her mother, Emma Bailey and
her little brother was taken. Smith Is q

horses for q gentleman in that alley. He has
evidently had designs on this girl for some
time, as he has several times, without invi-
tatiOn, walked into the house on the prete xt
of lighting his pipe, and held conversation
with her. Mrs. Bailey had warned him not
TO intrude there, but on this occasion Mrs. b.
was absent to do some work, and Smith came
in and took advantage of her absence. Ophe-
LAS little brother was present, and was a
witness against Smith. He was too small To
take his sisters part After this testimony
Of the girl, but the court ruled the testimony
out, and sent the case TO the grand jury, fix
