EXAMINED AND DISCHARGED.
w. C. Lane ExOnerated of the Charge
Made by His Wife.


W. G. Lane, arrested some days since
upon his wife's complaint, for an attempt
ed criminal assault upon his eight-year-
old stcp-daughter was given a preliminary
hearing before Justice NJ. Naughtin yester-
day afternoon, who heard the evidence and
dismissed the defendant with the state
ment that the case against him had not
been proven and the court believed the
charge untrue.
Toe witnesses examined on the part OF
the prosecution were the child herself and
her grandmother, the mother of Mrs
Lane. The stories of the alleged assault
that were told by them on the stand DIFF
fered in material points and was not at all
convincing. The child seemed to remember
some parts of the circumstances with so
much particularly, that her total forget
fuNness of other and equally material fea-
lures of the case was more than suspi-
cious. She did not al all make out a case
and it was not helped by the testimony of
her grandmother.
DIR. Van Marter testified for the defense
that he examined the child, when she was
brought to him by the mother, soon after
the assault is said to have been commit
ted, and that he was convinced that there
was absolutely no foundation for the
charge. Not only was there no sign of
a successful assault but none of an at
tempt to commit one. Ee testified further
that the woman seemed disappointed when
he told her her child had not been injured
and that he could find no trace of any at
tempt to do her criminal violence.
Upon this showing Justice Naughtin
ordered that the case against Lane be dis
missed, and that the defendant be dis
charged. Justice Naughtin completely ex-
onerated the defendant, and stated in court
that he believed him guiltless of the charge
that had been brought against him by his
wife. The prosecution was represented
by Mr.. f. M. Oliver, and the defendant by
Mr.. w. F. Slater.

A PLANTERS HEAVY Loss.
Stables, Granaries and Fine stock
Destroyed by Fire.

Destroyed by Fire.
Tennille, Ga. May 25.-Mr. Wiley Smith,
a very large planter. who also conducts
a commissary on his plantation, was sud-
denly awakened this morning about 2
o'clock and discovered his large barns and
stables in flames. Before assistance could
arrive, Mr.. Smith was forced to stand and
see his large stable and two big granaries
entirely destroyed by the flames. In adj
dition, he also lost by the fire seven fine
mules and two fine horses.
Mr. Smith is one of Washington county's
most extensive farmers. He also conducts
a very large plantation supply
store, carrying at this season a
large stock of goods, all of which
was carried away by the uncon-
trollable flames His entire loss is es-
timated at $1,000 with not one cent of
insurance.
The fire is strongly believed to be of
incendiary origin. Fire bugs appear to
have been quite numerous In this section
of the state in the past six months.
Mr.. Smith has not by any means de-
SPARED on account of his loss, but went
up to Macon to-day to buy more mules
TO take the place of those lost in the
fire. He has the sympathy of the entire
community in which he lives.

opportunity having presented itself, he
never finished his story.

was ready to be put in operation the Le-
gro, realizing that opposition would be of
no avail, calmly rose from the back of the

in a shoe box, and thrust both hands
through the ceIl window and submitted
without further resistance. He made no
statement from the scaffold.
