Small Cases.

Jose Garcia was arraigned yesterday
before Justice Austin on a charge of as
saulting Teresa Casulo with intent to
commit rape. He was held for examin-
alton in the sum OF $500 bonds, and
failing to give the surety, he was lodged
in Jail.
AS to Garcia's guilt there does not
seem to be much doubt now. The girl
Teresa was in court yesterday afternoon.
Garcia avoided looking at her at all. and
also endeavored to keep his eyes off oi
the crowd. He claimed that he could
neither speak nor understand English.
An interpreter was secured, but before
he could translate Garcia gave himself
away by indicating that he understood
what had been spoken in English.
The girl Teresa is more confident than
ever that Garcia is the man who at
tempted the henious crime upon her.
He will have his examination tomorrow
morning at 10 O'Clock before Justice
Austin.
