Is said, he keeps a small store. He has
q daughter in this city who also lives
with him, his wife being back in the
old cOuntry-ScandinaV The name
of the young girl is Mamma Hansen
and she has been in this country but
few months, having arrived here with
her mother from Norway. Her evl-
dence as given before Judge Pyper
Yesterday was to the effect that on
Tuesday evening Anderson came
to her house. which is close
by his own, and told her that
his daughter wished to see her. Miss
Hansen being well acquainted with the
young lady, thought nothing of this
request, and Immediately wen5 into
Andereon's house. Upon arriving
there, however, she discovered that
Miss Anderson was not at home, and it
was afIerw ards learned that she had
gone to the Theatre sometime before
sen with the information. She
| had no SOC ner entered the house, when
| the old ma n took hold of her, and made
an attemL t to put his arm around her

whom Anderson alleged had desired
her presence there. She was not in the
| house, however. and when the girl came
down stairs again she was seized by the
aged scamp, VINO made indecent pro-
posals to her. The girl then became in

carefully locked and the key withdrawn.
Anderson then again seized her and

when she escaped. There was other
evidence to corroborate what the girl
had said in reference to having been
called out of the house by Andersen,
and of her returning TO her homeln a
badly excited and dishevelled con-
dition, but so far as could be learned no
one had seen the assault alleged TO have
been committed upon the girl.
Anderson, on. the part of himself,
told his story. This, however, did not
differ greatly from that of the girls.
He admitted that he called her into
his house, but insisted strongly that it
was for another purpose-that of IN
DINING the girl a ma her Uthcr to n6oiu
take apartments that he wished to let. 1t
is said that he also admits that he i'm
braced her "a little" but that he had
no intentions of doing her any injury
at all, that he was only in fun.
The judge however, did not take
this view of the case, and said
that from the evidence brought out it
was clear to him that there was sufici-
ent cause TO hold the defendant to ap-
pear before the Grand Jury. and he
wOIld do 81, placing the bonds at$2, 0OO.

the Marshal 1t is thought, however,
that The bonds will be raised to-day.
