SERIOUS CHARals.- Last Saturday night
or Sunday handsome gold watch and
chain, which cost Mr. W. G. Cash Ssl5,
was stolen from hi residence. There be-
ing M one else whom he thought could
have possibly gotten it but oolored girl
employed by him, he charged her with
the theft She bitterly denied the aecu-
-stion, whereupon, as she states, Mr.. Cash
and his half brother, Sherrard Eldridge,
tied her hands behind her, aud taking her
to the stable, pat a rope around her neck
and swore they intended to hang her II she
did not confess that she had stolen the
watch. She further stated that while Mr.
Cash was temporarily absent, Mr.. Eldridge
had taken advantage Of her being tied and
succeeded in ravishing her. She came to
town Monday and swore to the above be-
fore Squire W. X. Carson, who at once
issued warrant against both, charging
them with kukluxing, and one against
Mr. Eldridge for rape. These papers were
placed in the hands Of the Sheriff, who
brought the parties 10 town on Monday,
when they waived an examination and
were held To the Circuit Court-Mr. Cash
in 81 900 and Mr. Eldridge in $4,000 bail,
The good standing Of the parties and their
connection with such serious charges,
caused a great deal Of comment, 50 We
sought them TO obtain their side Of the
story. They admit that they did try Il
force a confession from the girl, being full
" persuaded that she was the guilty party
but Mr.. Eldridge scons with indignation
the charge she makes against him, alleging
that she has been put up to it for spite and
revenge. The case will go before tn,
grand jury on the 26th, and il an indict'
ment is found will be tried during that
term Of the Court LArER.-The girl has
brought suit against the CASKS for Sl0OO'
damages.
