Was II Attempted Rape?

morning arrested an old man appar.
emily 90 years old, named A. W.
Kerns, Silver.plater, for attempted
rape on the person Of a seven or eight
year old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Marsh. The alleged attempt
at rape occurred Monday afternoon
in the rear room upstairs over the
VOICE office. Kerus was released
few hours after his arrest, upon the
order OF County Attorney Ivan D.
Rogers, who said there was no law to
prosecute him under.
Monday afternoon the Marsh girl,
in company with the nine year old
and five year old girls Of Mrs. Hugh
Taylor, went to Kerns' rooms. He
boards at Mrs. Taylor's restaurant,
and upon previous visits here, had
formed a friendship with the girls by
buying them candy and other dellca-
cies. While the girls were in his
room Monday afternoon, Kerns took
the Marsh girl upon his lap ndklssed
and caressed her. He did this in the
presence Of the Taylor children. The
Taylor girls left the room soon and
went down stairs. Shortly after, the
Marsh girl came out Of the room cry
ing and went home and told her
mother that an old man had taken
liberties with her. The girl was
seen to 20 out OF the mans room
and down stairs, crying. The old
man followed her down stairs
shortly.
The girls father, who is an engineer
on the Santa Fe, was out on the road
when the girl came home. He re-
turned that night and upon learning
Of the affair, hunted for the old man
until late in the night.
Night Marshal Millard searched for
Kerns that night, but was unable to
find him. City Marshal Shawvsr
found him at the Rock Island restau-
rant next morning and placed him
under arrest. He was confined in the
calaboOse until ordered released.
Kerns denies that he made any ad-
vanceS to the girl, saying that he
merely took her upon his lap and
kissed her.
After his arrest the city marshal
took him to the girls home and she
promptly identified him and told Mr..
Shaver substantially what she told
her mother about Kerns' familiarity
with her.
KernS is tall old man, with long,
white whiskers and white hair. He
does silver plating for a living. He
arrived in the city Monday morning.
and rented the room over the VOICE
office Of A. Graf. Kerns was here
last year and boarded at Mrs. Taylor's
restaurant, His home, he says, is in
Iowa. His wife and daughter reside
in that state, He formerly lived at
Belle Plaine. The old man always
manifested strong liking for small
girls, and during his stay in the city
last summer, spent much Of his time
in their company, treating them to
sweetmeats and winning favor with
them by acts Of kindness.
