DIR. PERRY AGAIN ON TRIAL.-The
second trial of DR.. VIM. E. Perry
charged with criminal assault upon
Miss Rose J. johnson, of Halltown,
began on Tuesday last, in the Cir
cult Court of Jefferson county, at
Charles Town, before Judge Faulk-
ner. DR.. Perry is charged by Miss
johnson with assaulting her in his
office last June, to which she had
gone for medical treatment. His
former trial took place last July at
a special term held for that purpose.
He was found guilty, and the jury
recommended that he be punished
by Imprisonment. The court SEN
fenced him to fourteen years in the
penitentiary. His counsel carried
the case to the W. Va. Court of APP
peals and obtained new trial. The
case came mp again for trial and
there was very little delay or trou-
Bile in obtaining jury. The case
was opened to the jury by the state
ment for the State made by Prose
cutting Attorney. F. W. Brown.
Capt. George Baylor made the OPEN
ing statement for the defense. The
morning session was taken up with
the examination of four witnesses,
who testified as to Miss Johnson's
nervous condition when she returned
home from DIR. Perry's office, the To-
cation Of the Office and the time of
the alleged crime. In the afternoon
session the defense asked leave of
the court for the jury to view the To-
cality and situation OF the Office.
This leave was granted, and the
judge, jury, officers of the court and
attorneys went to Halltown, four
miles east of Charles Town, to view
the premises. Upon returning the
State put Miss Johnson on the wit
ness stand. She gave detailed &C.
count of the alleged crime, stating
that she went to DR.. Perry's Office
about IL o'clock in the day to be
treated for pain in the head, side and
back; that DR.. Perry gave her chlor-
oform by holding her hands and
forcing it to her nostrils that she
became unconscious, and upon re-
coyery she found him violating her
person /; that he again tried to give
her the chloroform, but was inter-
rupted by his wifes coming to the
office door. Her testimony was sub
stantially as on the former trial. On
cross-examination she became very
much affected aud wept several
times. Her testimony continued IN.
til the close of the afternoon session.
The State is represented by the
prosecuting attorney, assisted by
Mr.. VIM. r. Alexander, of Winches.
ter, Va, and the accused by Judge
Daniel B. Lucas, Capt. George Bay.
lor and James NJ. Mason, Jr., of the
Charles. Town bar. DR.. Perry's de
Tense is that no such crime was com
mitted, and that Miss johnson wa:
laboring under hallucination pro.
dnced by the effect of chloroform.
