They tell of a Georgia girl who recent
ly had man arrested for an assault, the
assault having consisted of a successful,
though stoutly resisted effort on his part,
to keep her from committing suicide by
jumping from bridge. The man made
the very natural mistake of rescuing the

disaster and defeat, steal march upon
