fore Justice Collins on Friday, and his
bond was fixed at $1,000. He is still in
jail and will probably remain there ur-
til his trial at the May term of court.
Milt Greever. stepfather of the girl
alleged to have been assaulted, has en-
ployed Noble s. Tincher to assist in the
prosecution. Hamlin still insists on
his innocence and claims he will be
indicated. The trial of the case prom.
ises to develop an allegation unheard
of in the annals Of crime of this nature,
which if true, would add horror to hor-
rOr. Everything connected with the
crime charged, is repulsive.
