EVENTS OF A WEEK BRIEFLY CHR0NICLED
Mystery of the Recent Assaults on White
Women in Little Rock Cleared Up BY
the Voluntary confession of tho Negro
Fiepd Who Committed the Crimes.
The Right Party at Last.

After numerous arrests, the Little
Rock police at last have in custody the
brute who, about six weeks ago, made
attempts to criminally assault five
different white ladies in the above city
within "a hours His name is Fred Pei
ton, a 22.year-old negro, and he has
made a confession, detailing how each
crime was committed Pelton was a
driver for transfer company, and on
the day after the commission of the
crimes returned to his work At that
time the whole city was aroused to a
high pitch of excitement, and many
were ready to accept the slightest clue
to the identity of any suspectan mete
out to him death without the formality
of trial. During all this excitement,
Pelton pursued his avocation as the
driver of dray through the streets OF
the citv where every officer and citizen
was on the alert to effect his capture.
He would probably have remained at
liberty until such time as the oppor-
tunity offered for him to successfully
carry out his dastardly intent but for
the keen memory of a colored servant
girl, whom Pelton attempted to assault
on the morning hewas arrestedwhile she
was on her way to her employers. This
girl was badly beaten and choked. She
recognized her aasailant as Pelton,
and when arrested he made full con-
fession. Although the brute failed IN
each ease to accomplish his purpose,
his victims were shamefully abused.
The penalty in each case is 81 years in
the penitentiary, and as there is six
charges against him he has little
chance of ever committing another
such crime. The two suspects held for
trial have been released. Pelton's EN-
ployes state that he is above the aver
age in intelligence, and fairly well
educated.

the World from Paris says; Capt. Drey-
fus, in his prenest condition of health,
will not go to Folkestone. The report
that Nine Dreyfus and NJ. Labori Wis
tied that English resort in search o!
quarters for Dreyfus is false. The des
tination of Dreyfus is carefully con
cealed, and is known only to a few
relatives. Even lhe friends who
fought for him are kept ignorant, for
fear of leakage. Dreytus' health de-
mands a warm climate, and there ara
safe indications that he will be spirit
ed away to Italy or Greece.
