Deserted Baby Established.

Van Perkins. a hurly black negro VINO
resides several miles from the city on the
Brook road. was received at the county
San yesterday on the serious charge OF
attempted assault upon Misses Louisa
and Martha Bolton.
The young women, the former OF whom
10 Is years Of age and tho other It, are
quite comely in appearance. and reside
ahout four miles from the city They
are In the habit OF driving in to the mar

ATTEMPTED TO STOP THEM.
They charge that when about two miles
from the city Miss Louisa, who was some
distance ahead OF her sister, was stopped
by Perkins who clambsred into her
wagon and roughly caught her by the
arm. She struck him on the head with
a heavy piece OF iron near at hand ana
ne left her. She drove on, and the negro
waited on the road until the other sister
approached lie attempted an assault
upon her. when she screamed ana so
frightened him that no rolinquished MS
hold upon her and ran off.
The young women reported the occur
renee 20 the county authorities at once
and Magistrate Tyler issued a warrant
which was promptly executed on Per
kins. He denies positively that he was
on the road at the time the occurrence
Is alleged TO have taken place. and VIII

Identity OF the Baby.
Mr.. John G.. Wade, a resident OF the
Three Chop toad, was at the courthouse
yesterday, and with Magistrate Larus
called at the home OF Mrs. Turk' on

road some weeks since. lie was SHOWN
the clothing the child wore when left by
its parents, and positively identified 1t
as having been PIT released by him for a
couple who were boarding at Mrs. forus'
near his residc1ce.
Some time In June last the couple. VINO
gave their names as Charles ana
Geneva Macon, came from North Caro-
lima and engaged board with Mrs. Ford.
The lady, who was IN delicate heaith'

his home. on he 10th Of October BABY

child with them. on that afternoon the
babe was left at Martha Mannings anu
there seems 10 be no further Goubt as 10
the identity Of the deserted baby.
The direction the couple took from mere
cannot now be ascertained and no clue
10 their identity other than the names
given can be found.
Mrs Turk IS very DESTROYS that the
court should give her legal charge or the
infant. and this will probably be done.

KEPT A GAMBLING HOUSE.
William Kendrlck. of GIL East Broad
Street, Sent to Jury.

William Kendrick was at the bar OF
Justice John yesterday on the charge
Of keeping a gamblinghouse at No. Gil
east Broad street, on a warrant sworn
out by Mrs. ID. S. Williams. 1t was
claimed that on the evening of November
"a Mr.. Williams went into Hendricks
place and lost 50 at draw-poker. lie then
borrowed $50 worth of chips from
Kendrick on his gold-watch, which was a
present to him. He also lost this amount.
making the total $3.50 more than the
limit of the law.
When Williamss wife questioned him
about his timepiece, he confessed TO her
what he had done with it, and this
angered her very much. About q week
ago she went to see Kendrick. and asked
him If he had the watch, and. on being
answered affirmatively, she told him to
keep 1t until her husband. who was out of
town, returned, and he would redeem ii.
Kendrck heard no more about the mat
ter until Friday when the warrant was
served on him.
Mr.. Williams was reticent in reference
to the matter, but finally acknowledged
to the Justice that he lost the 50 he had IN
his pocket and then got $50 worth or
| chips on his watch and lost them. The
| case was CeTlllltu 10 lHe Brdnu jury VI

rested last Wednesday on a warrant
| charging him with stealing n lot Of
stainedglass designs. the property OF W.
| A. Hefferman, of Lynchburg, was called
yesterday, and continued until next Satur-
, day to get Mr.. Hefferman here as a
witness. From what could be learned con-
! corning this case. 1t seems that Nogl and
| one H. Bunce, who were in the employ OF
| MIR. Heferman, came TO Richmond last
| August, and went into business for them
selves. shortly afterward they dissolved
partnership. and Mr.. Hefferman came into
| possession of certain designs belonging
| 10 him. lie came on to Richmond, and
secured a search-warrant, but did not
| find the articles in Nogl's possession
| When the Lynchburg man returned home
| he found that the designs had been sent
there through the mail There Is also a
warrant for Vogl in Lynchburg. but his
Honor decided that he had jurisdiction
