ALECK LACY STILL AT LARGE
Mayor Taylor, OF GAINESVILLE, Justified in His
Action-The Churches.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)

GAINESVILLE, VA, March 2o-The
negro. .Aleck Lacy, who was indicted at
the March term Of Mecklenburg County
Court for attempting an assault, upon
Mrs. Lena Tuck, of Clarksville, is still
at large, having, as previously reported
left for parts unkonwn the week preced-
ing his Indictment It will be remem-
bered that Lacy, when arrested, was
taken before Mrs. Tuck for Identification
the right OF the assault, but for salts
factory reasons was held to appear be-
fore Mayor Taylor the next morning for
a preliminary hearing.
At this hearing Mayor Taylor made a
very thorough and searching investiga
ton, questioning Mrs. Tuck very closely,
both before and during the trial; but rs
she, who was the main witness, could
not swear as to the identity Of Lacy or
her belief that he was her assailant. the
Mayor did not feel justified in holding
him longer or sending him to the gran6
jury; hence, he discharged him, and the
Mayors decision, with what testimony
was adduced before him. seems to meet
with approval.
1t is just to Mayor Taylor to say that
as soon as the assault was reported he
Immediately and personally began an in
quiry into the case, having Lacy arrested
and carried before Mrs. Tuck, with the
result as above. During the week. how.
ever, and preceding the Friday night
when Lacy disappeared with strong sus
picion resting upon him. it was rumoreS
that some attempt would be made by in.
discreet parties to lynch Lacy, and the
rumor was supposed to have been re-
ported to Lacy; hence his disappearance,
in which he was aided it is said, by a
colored woman in GAINESVILLE.
Circumstantia1 evidence was strong
against Lacy, however; hence when Mrs
Tuck and her husband went before the
grand jury a true bill was found agairs
him.
