THE STORY TOLD IN COURT

Yesterday-A Cool
FOrger.

horri6le crime came to light yesterday
when L. c. Lennox was examined before
Justice Austin on q charge of outraging his
step-daughter, Eliza Daniels, child eleven
years of age. The mother of the child, who
made the complaint, stated that on Monday
last she noticed that her daughter acted
strangely, and that Lennox, who is a negro,
also acted as II something was the matter.
She, however, did not pay much attention to
this, until she noticed the child appeared to
be unwell and to grow worse, on Thurs
day she complained Of pains which racked
her BODY. The mother then made an
examination and found that the child had
been outraged. Upon making this discovery,
abe remembered the former circumstance
and accused Lennox Of the commission Of

to escape, ran out of the house
and lodged a complaint upon which Len
X vx Vas q deyeloped S at the examination that
on Monday morning last Mrs. LennOx left
home to earn money to support the family,
leaving the child at home and LennOx In
bed. Soon after she left .Lennox enticed
the little girl Into the room, where he out
ragged her, in1uring her severely before he
released her. The child, fearful of calling
down her stepfather's wrath by revealing
the facts TO her mother, sought to conceal
garments. which were stained and would
have told the story, had they been discoy-
cred. Later the mother returned, but aside
from noticing the peculiar manner of both
Lennex and his victim, saw nothing to
make her suspect that the crime had been
committed. When the child became i'll
she put her to bed, and thought
it. was only natural indisposition, but
when she made the discovery, named aud
mentioned it to lennox she was attacked
Sue stated that she had been married three
times, first to a man named Pepper, who
died, than TO Daniels, the father OF the child
who deserted her and went to Arizona,
then to Lennox, who she said had treated
both herself and the child very badly. The
child's evidence was also taken and it was
such as to render it uRht for publication,
but it was to the effect that Lennox had
used her very cruelty.
Lennox testified on his own behalf and
was to the effect that Eliza kept late hours
and earned money from men.
After hearing the evidence Justice Austin
held LeHnOx to answer before the Superior
Court in $4,000 bail.
