Lewis O. Young ust stand Trial For
Having LewdIy IO3ed with Child.
Lewis G. Young was held in 81, 600
bail this morning to await the action of
the grand jury, for lewds and lasclvious
towing with Jane Baggerty. 7-year old
child. Young was defended by Harry
Emmons, who made strong and deter
mined effort TO break down the evidence
of tue child and that of her mother.
but without success At one time
he fancied that he had
succeeded. for he ratified the little girl
ino seying things which she did not
mean, bug Judge Ball, with fsthsrly in
stiocts, took the little creature in hand
and LED her back to the facts which she
emphatically declared were true
Mr.. Emmons put Mrs. Margaret Hor
ton on tie stand and she stated that
while in Mr.. Young's kitchen she had
overheard conversation among Mr.. and
Mrs. Hsggerty and the child. During
this conversation Mrs Hsggerty, she said,
had told the child what to say In court,
and threatened her with a whipping II
she did not do as she WIS told. This
was denied by all the Haggertys,
out the child admitted that her
mother had threatened to whip her If
he did OF tell the truth. Although Mrs.
Borton's testimony was strong for the
defence, it did not improve the defend
fsnt's case much, as she did not either
by conduct or demeanor impress those
present as person Of reliability
The child's testimony was given very
straight. She is an intelligent little girl
with long white hair Except in one or
two particulars even the legal acumen Of
Mr. Emmone, who strove hard to break
her down, failed to shake It, Her
story conceded with that which her
mother testified that the child had told
her after the occurrence. The crime,
according TO the chid's testimony, was
committed twice, and a third at
tempt was made on the evening
on which little Jennie complained to
her mother. It was committed on the
doorsteps Of the houses which Adjoin
each other. The mother said she saw no
evidence OF the crime beyond the story
which her daughter had told her.
Mr. Emmons put number Of wit
nssses on the stand who testified to
Young's previous good reputation 1t was
instructed also on the part of the de
fence that the prosecution had been
instituted through malice. but not
llJ0le OF evidence was ofouRnt
onward to support the insinuation. On
the contrary it was testified that the
parties had always been on good terms,
and there could be no malice in the
bringing Of the charge as no malice ex-
, listed
When the trial was over Nc. Emmons
stated that he had shown the charge to
be trumped up Que Mrs Horton, who
is Mr. Young's mother-in-law, became
very boisterous in her declarations that
the whole thing was lie
Those who know of Mr.. Young's
previous good character will not admit
his guilt, but the child's testimony, gives
while she cried bitterly, was what Judge
Ball could not overlook. The punishment
