Frank Morgan, charged with rape
upon his six-year-old step-danghter,
Eta Waldrow, was brought before
District Judge Potter to-day ON q writ
OF habeas corpus. There being no posi-.
tive evidence against the accused lac
was released on $1,000 bond. The
judge, after talking with tho little
girl some time had her sworn j..
when the district attorney questioned
her In regard 10 tine outrage. At The
conclusion OF the examination the
Judge announced that an there was no
positive proof Of the main guilt be did
not desire TO hold him over, vet he did
not feel II Ills duty 10 let him 10 SCOT
free, and as other testimony might he
obtained he would place Morgan under
1900 bond. The little girl was the
only witness examined. When abe
was brought upon the stand
most affecting scene was
witnessed, the mother bearing the
child In her arms aud both crying BIT
terly. The proceedings were delayed
one hour that the mother might ,aclfy
the child. When she was examined.
the testimony was OF such q nature IA
70 be unfit for publication. Her evil
drnce was not regarded as com petent,
however, she not being old enough 10
understand the obligations OF an oath.
The mother WAS not permitted u tes.
tify, she being the wife Of the defend-
ant. II was evident that NEST DAM
nable Outrage had been committed
upon the person Of this little child,
and II Is regarded AS unfortunate that
there was not sufficient evidence TO
hol- the defendant without ball, o. he
IL undoubtedly guilty Of an inhumsn
crime. Many were heard to remark
that 1t was . proper case for Judge
Lynch. The outrage was committed
near Burlington, Montague county,
and defendant was brought here fOF

Then she seemed to grow faint and weak to
