The rape case mentioned last week came
up Monday before Justice Bill. After hearing
additional evidence an examination was
waived by defendant, who was held to bail
to answer before the grand jury. One of the
worst features Of the case Is that number of

called as witnesses in the disgusting affair to
testify as to character and circumstances,
thus familiarizing them with vice. We con.
Tess inability to say how this could have been
avoided If the party charged is innocent, but
It Is certainly the most deplorable thing for
the little ones that could have occurred. We
10 not feel that the circumstances or names
should yet be mentioned, but it Is in every
phase most disgusting affair and it Is better
that the facts should be called out within
The precincts Of grand jury room.
