Strange Case In Beaufort Co.

F. n. Busbee today returned from
Besufort county and brings news
of q trial there which was In the
highest degree sensational. In 1896
q man named Bronks was At some
place in this State charged with
criminal assault, he having imper.
sonated q woman's husband at
night. The evidence on this point
was clear, but the Supreme Court
held that such fraud was not rape.
Such . case was absolutely novel In
the North Carolina courts. The leg
islature in 1881 enacted law max
ing this offence rape and fixing the
penalty at not less than ten years
imprisonment. Many pers o n
thong ht there never would be An
other such case, but the one tried
this week in Beaufort county was
of the same character. A white
man, Charles Williams, successful.
~ impersonated the husband Of q
woman who proved q high chArac-
ter. Ris defence was that she knew
who he was. She controverted this
fully and Williams was convicted
