ALLEGED GrieXous Crime.-.Dennis

| Alleged GF1eVOus Crime Dennis
Houser, who, as heretofore stated in the
Star, was arrested about week ago on the
charge of having attempted to commit a
felonious assault on his young daughter,
Nellie Houser, was this afternoon arraigned
before Judge Scott, In the Police Court.
The young girl, who is about fifteen years
old, related the particulars upon which the
charge was based, giving the date of the
offense as Thursday night of last week.
She did not make any outcry, she SAID, be-
cause she was afraid to do so. She stated
that the family formerly lived in Maryland,
and that while there her father tried to as
sault her, for which he was arrested, but
was subsequently released.
After his release, she said, all the family
except Nellie removed to Georgetown, and
she returned to her home at the request of
her father two weeks before the last assault.
The little girl gave her evidence only in
reponse to questions by Prosecutor Laskey
At the conclusion of her testimony Judge
Scott told the prisoner that he had better
have counsel, and Houser selected Lawyer
Kicks to represent him.
On cross examination, Nellie admitted she
had said she did not want to prosecute her
father, provided he would leave the city and
not bother the family. She also said that
her father was very drunk at the time OF
the alleged assault, which took place about
midnight. Her father was discovered in
Nellie's room by his wife. Nellie told her
mother of the occurrence and then went to
the home of II friend, where she remained
until after her father was arrested.
On re.examination by Mr.. Laskey, Nellie
friend from Thursday night after the al
legged assault until Saturday morning was
because she was afraid of her father.
Mrs. Henning, to whom the little girl
made statement of the affair after she had
lett her fathers house, and VIM. Dunnigan,
who lives next door to the Housers', were
witnesses for the prosecution.
Officer Pratt said he examined the door
of Nellie's room and found the lock broken
In reply to questions from Mr.. Kicks the
officer said Mrs. Houser had told him she
was willing to have the charge against her
husband nolle pressed, provided he would
leave the District and never return.
Mr.. Laskey made a brief address, at the
close of which he asked that Houser be
held in 5000 bail Tor the action Of the
grand jury. Mr.. Kicks asked that bond
OF not more than $500 be required of the
defendant.
Judge Scott placed the bail at $1,000, as
asked by the government. Houser could
not give this, and he was remanded to jail

Tav,or Convicted and Sentenced

The trial of Armistead Taylor, negro, for
dell, this county, in May last, was brought
to a close before the Circuit Court for Fred
erick county, on Thursday afternoon of last
week. After the close of the testimony and
argument by counsel the court instructed
the Jury as to the form of the verdict they
could render, and at 4:57 o'clock the case
was given to the jury. Five minutes later
they had returned from their room and were
in their seats again, and in response to the
usual question announced that their verdict
was "guilty OF murder in the first degree"
The prisoner, with his eyes on the jury, sat
apparently unmoved.
In very solemn and impressive manner,
Judge McSherry said ".Armistead Taylor
have you anything TO say why the sentence
of death should not be passed upon you ?"
Slightly raising his chin from his left hand,
where it had rested most of the time, with
shake of his head, he said mo" The chief
Justice then said, "You have been convicted
of foul, brutal and bloody murder. The
verdict was eminently fit and proper, and
safe guarantee of speedy justice being melted
out Don't delude yourself with hopes of
executive clemency, but prepare your soul
for a new trial, when you will face and ap.
pear before celestial judge"
"Hearken ye, Armistead Taylor; the SEN
tence OF the court is that you shall be taken
from here to the Jail whence you came, and
from there to the Jail OF Montgomery coun-
ty, and there confined until the day, which
will be designated by the Governor, when
you shall be taken thence to the place of
execution in said county and be hanged by
the neck until you are dead May God have
mercy on your soul"
The prisoner, after sentence was pro
nounced, stood up while he was manacled
to Brown. They were both taken out the
back entrance, followed by crowd, but
the sheriff had a strong party Of deputies
and the crowd wac kept back.
