ter by those in the neighborhood of
the alleged crime that the general
public knew nothing of it till Wednes-
uay last: Reports as to the particulars
OF the affair are conflicting. One re-
port IS to the effect that the girl is on
~ IL years old, idiotic and was taken
Irom beside her little sister on the
one hundred yards into the woods. the
little sister giving the alarm and pre-
venting the crime. Another report is
that the girl is about 1S years old,
pears an unsavory reputation and
Shaw,s arrest and Incarceration is ac-
tnated by desire to persecute and
extYrt money. 1t is quite difficult to
understand !! why 80 little interest has
been taken in the affair by citizens of
the Township in which the crime is
said to have been committed. If the
accusation be we'll founded, it is a ter
rible blot upon the white citizenship of
Anderson County.
