and kept there in charge of Mr.. Phelps.
Mr.. Fits arrived on the forenoon train,
and at ? i'm the afternoon private hearing
was held before Justice Lewis Phelps, the
prisoner having first refused to plead
guilty. He was arraigned on two charges
for assault with intent to ravish and as
sault with dangerous weapon with intent
to kill johnson was stolid and sullen,
and had almost nothing to say. He claimed
that his brother shot himself while flour
ishing the revolver. Bail was fixed at $500
on each charge Ga very low sum consider
ing the gravity of the offence) although
Mr.. Fits urged that the sum ought to be
at least $1,000 on each charge. The
wounded boy was not able to appear but
testimony was given by the girl, Mr. May
and Edward johnson, bringing out the
facts substantially as stated above The
father of the family said that he would
have killed the son Sunday afternoon had
he returned and found him. The girl,
barring timidity, appeared very well at the
prosecution.
johnson was kept at Jamaica Monday
night and was taken to the county jail at
Newfane Tuesday morning by Sheriff
Shumway. Although he had been very
reticent tie day before he talked freely on
the train with States Attorney Fits and
The Phoenix representative. He denied
the charge of attempted rape in toto, and
said that the shooting was purely acct
dental. His story at this time was that he
and his brother were playing cards, using
matches as gamblers would use chips.
"To make it like desperation" he said, his
brother brought out the revolver and laid
it upon the table. At length his brother
picked up the revolver and pointed it in
his (Fred's) face. Fred claims that he hit
his brothers arm to knock the pistol one
side and that it was discharged. He says
that he did not know his brother was shot
until Mr.. May and Edward told him. lie
also denied statements made by Mr.. May
and by Edward johnson. 1t was supposed
that he spent the night on the hills, but he
says that he was at the house of Colson, a
Swede, for whom he was at work This
statement has yet to be verified He de-
MES that he ran away, etc. He admits
that he took the IS calibre revolver at
Hanson's, but says he only wanted it to
look at.
