BRUNO is BOUND OVER.
Must Answer Charge of Committing an
Assault on Little Lizzie Newman


Assault on Little Lizzie Newman
Tony Bruno, the Italian who was
arrested about week ago, on a charge
of attempting to commit an assault
upon little eight year old Lizzie New
man, the daughter of Mr.. a1d Mrs.
Matthias Newman, had preliminary
hearing before Justice Slater this
morning, and at the close of the hear
ing Bruno was bound over to await the
action of the circuit court. His bond
was placed at $500, and failing to fur
nish this he was remanded to jail.
The state, it is reported, has a strong
case against the defendant. At the
request of the defendants attorney all
people not interested in the hearing
we're excluded from the court room.
District Attorney Buckmaster intro
duced three witnesses, Mrs. Newman,
mother of the little girl, John New
man, little brother, and the girl her.
self. They told the same story which
was told in this paper at the time of
the arrest. Bruno took the stand in
his own defense, and made a general
denial of all the charges. The evidence
was in favor of the case made by the
state, and the Italian was bound over.
The hearing of the case attracted
nearly all the Italians in the city to the
justice court, but none of them were
permitted to hear the evidence.
