Frank Coomes to be Tried for AS

Frank Coomes to be Tried for As
saulting Dora Allen.
The examination of Frank Coomes for
criminal assault on Dora Allen, alleged
to have been committed near Brighton
some weeks ago. was concluded in JUS
tice Henry's court yesterday, with the
result that the defendant was held to an
swer, with bail fixed at So 900.
There was considerable testimony
taken, the details of which are unfit for
publication, but the only real conflict was
between that of the girl and defendant.
She declared that CoOmes forced her to
submit to him, while ne testified that she
not only consented, but that they had
been equally as intimate for long time.
In this he was corroborated by his
younger brother and another boy.
Young Coomes is but 19 years OF age,
while Dora Allen is 20. The only point
that can be urged against him, so far as
any criminality Is concerned, is that the
girl is very simple minded, and this fact,
District Attorney Ryan contended, comes
within the codes definition OF what con-
stitutes rape. Even the defendant ad-
mitted that he knew the girl was not
very strong minded, but thought she
was sufficiently so to realize what she
was doing.
The fact was brought out thst Mrs.
Allen had offered to compromise the case
with young Coomes' parents for $500, but
when District Attorney Ryan informed
her that she could not do such thing as
that she declined to withdraw the COM
plant.
In giving his testimony Coomes said
that on the Sunday evening in question.
after the Allen girl had left his house
with the Sunday-school pictures he had
given her, he went out to Brighton to
church. On his way home couple OF
friends whom he met told him that Mrs.
Allen had been hunting for him with a
gun. and he replied that he guessed he'd
have TO lie low for while. Two days
later he left for San Francisco, but re-
turned last Saturday and gave himself
