Charles Moore Arrested for a Criminal
Assault.
Charles Moore, colored, was sent to jail
by Justice Russell yesterday afternoon on
charge of rape, preferred by the mother
of Mary Ann Edwards, a 13-year-old col
ored girl
Moore lives on River street and the Ed
wards girl and her mother live near by
The girl made statement to Justice Rus
sell. She said that she was employed by
Moore to mind his baby while his wife,
VINO IS IN service, was away from home On
Monday morning, she said, she came down
after the baby as usual and went into
the back room where the baby was
asleep. Moore, she said. came in after
her and locking all the doors, seized hold
OF her and threw her violently upon the
bed, wrapping quilt over her head to
stlhe her cries. In this manner she
claimed that he accomplished his purpose.
She said that she went home and told her
mother what had happened. Her mother
was sick in bed, she said and this was
the reason why nothing was done until
yesterday.
Moore denied the charge. Rose Moore,
his wife, who was seen by a MORNING
NEWS reporter at Justice Russells Office,
also denied the truth of the girls story
She said that she and her husband rented
the basement of the house where they
lived from the white people who lived in
the upper stories. She said the mother
of the girl, Mary Ann Edwards, who
swore out the warrant attended to her
child during the day, while she was in
service, and that Mary Ann was in the
habit of coming after the child to take
1t TO her mother and of bringing
1t back at night. She says on the morn
ing of the day when the crime is alleged
to have been committed, Mary Ann came
after the baby about O'Clock, half an
hour after her husband had gone to his
work, that she brought the baby back
that evening, and that she has since been
doing the same thing daily, never making
any complaint until to-day. She says she
does not know how to account for the
girls conduct, and that there is no ground
whatever for the charge against her hus-
band

Rosa Moren Charges Five Others

Rosa Moren Charges Five Others
With Assaulting and Beating Her.
Some time between 10 and IL O'Clock
night before last there was small sized
riot in East Savannah, which resulted
yesterday in the issuing of five warrants
for assault and battery with likelihood
that more may follow in short order.
1t seems that Rosa Morell is the much
injured party, ana it was she who caused
the five warrants to issue. She was badly
beaten up in arrow with the other negroes,
according to her side of the story, and in
the warrants she charges that all of them
struck her and abused her. 1t is very
likely that there is another side to the
story, and il is highly proba BILE that cross
warrants will follow and that Rosa and
hercontingent may also get into some
little trouble
The warrants sworn out by Rosa Mo
rel were against Polly Bryan, Jacob
Bryan, Abraham Young, Diana Young
and Ellen simmons. She charged them
all with assaulting and beating her. and
with breach Of good behavior. The
warrants We're sworn out before Justice
John Q. Smith, and all the parties were
released on bond.

Gonzales was the contortionist of the per-

however, may interfere somewhat with

combination of remedial agents used sec
