About 2 o'clock this morning, Police
omces Joe Mccausland, who was patrol-
ling mis- beat, on Fourteenth street near
the ST. Charles hotel, heard a wOman's
cries from some place In the rear of the
hotel. The burden Of her cries was:
"oh, don't do that"
Mccausland ran around into the hotel
and thence into the dark alley way and
yard at one side of the hotel. on the
ground a man and a woman were strug-
CLING. AS the officer approached, the
man saw him ana springing to his feet
tried to escape, but the officer was too
quick and naibbed his man.
Mccausland called In ohcer Rnabe,
and the woman. her assailant and her
husband, the latter having been in the
hotel at the time Of the assault, were
taken to the city building.
The assailant OF the woman proved to
be James Watson, man Of about thirty
years of age, who has been employed
by Mr.. Robrecht, proprietor of the no
tel, as driver. It seems that the wo-
man had some difficulty with her hus-
band, and had asked Watson to lead
her out OF the hotel. Watson took her to
the alley back of the hotel and there
committed the assault.
The woman was Nora sarver, Of
Pittsburgh. who has recently lived in a
house in the East End Her husband
was a young man Of this city, the son
Of well known merchant. The wo-
man showed marriage certificate,
showing that she was recently married
to the young man in the state of Ar
kansas. It is said they had Just arriv-
ed in the city from the west, and were
stopping at the St. Charles hotel.
The husband Of the young woman
became quite excited when he learned
OF the assault upon her, and insisted
that he should be locked up in the same
cell with the man. OF course the po-
lice officers would not allow this. The
pair were allowed to go their way after
a preliminary hearing had been held at
police headquarters by Squire Rogers.
The squire took che testimony OF Po-
nee omcer Mccausland, who testified to
what was occurring when he came upon
the scene. He also took the testimony
OF the young woman. He issued a war
rant, charging Watson with the most
serious Of the crimes sometimes group
ed under the name of criminal assault,
and the hearing will be held at the
squire's office this afternoon >at five
o'clock.
The young woman in the case Is an
attractive person OF twenty-one years,
a brunette and handsomely dressed.
She was naturally very nervous and
shaken over the affair.
After the hearing. Watson was taken
to the county jail from the lookup,
and committed in default of $500 ball
