Arthur T. Evans who was tried
here last week on the charge of rape,
and acquitted, seems to be SO mething
OF notorious character. lie was ac-
quilted on a similar charge in Wayne
County, in April, and on his return
home his neighbors led him out to
the woods, and strung him up with a
rope about his neck twice, to extort
a confession and failed. He has a
number now waiting trial for tres
pass, when he gets back there To at
tend To the matter. On his being
discharged here, the officers allowed
him TO just step outside the door,
and draw one breath of fresh air, and
arrested him by warrant from Che
boygan County on the charge of big.
amy. He was accompanied to that
city by his attorney, Albert L. Wild
dis, OF Detroit, who has defended
him in the above cases. Notwith-
standing the able prosecution OF the
case, and the positive testimony OF
the complaining witness, Mr.. Widdis
so presented the evidence for the de.
tense that IL with his argument in
the premises could not fail to 'aise q
doubt in the minds of the jurors,
which gave the prisoner his dis.
charge. The peculiar action in the
courts In Wayne County give color
to the position taken by Mr.. Widdis,
that there is collision against this
man, but he expresses the belief 10
his complete vindicatlon.
