J. T. NEWTON BOUND OVER.
Accused of Attempted Assault on
 Mrs. J. L. Yarbrough.

Columbus, Ga, June 9-(Special. IA highly sensational case has been brought to light, in Phenix City, by the arrest of J T. Newton, on the charge of attempted criminal assault Newton was arrest ed yesterday afternoon by, Marshal Wood Campbell and his preliminary trial was set for this afternoon before Justice J. R. Page. The defendant was bound over on $500 bond. He has not yet made the bond. and will be carried to Opelika to- morrow.
 So far as can be learned. the alleged attempted assault took place last Thurs day night at the home of Newton on Fifth Avenue. It appears that Mrs. J. L. Yarbrough. of this city, the wife of a well-known conductor, went to Phenix City to visit the family of her husbands brother. James Yarbrough. It is said that the house was crowded and ar engagements were made for Mrs. Yar- brough to sleep, at the home of Newton. which was nearby. She carried out this program, it appears. and about 12 o'clock at night she was greatly startled to find that a man had entered her room. It is said the man softly approached the bed and threw a sheet over the face of Mrs. Yarbrough, but not before she Is said to have recognized her assailant as Newton. the head or the house. She screamed Justify and prepared to defend herself. It is said that the man took fright when she screamed and ran out of the room.
 Mrs. Yarbrough was very much excited and highly indignant. Next morning she informed the Phenix City officers of what had taken place.
 It was not until yesterday that Mfr and Mrs. Yarbrough took decided action in the matter. She had informed her hus- band of what had occurred and together they went to Phenix City and called on Marshal Campbell. MT. Yarbrough was very much outraged over the affair and 1t was with difficulty that he was restrain ed from killing the alleged attempted as- assallsnt of his wife. Marshal Campbell placed MT. Newton under arrest.
 The defendant in the case, has been in Phenix City for only about six months He came from Buelah. Ala, although he once lived in Texas He has a wife and a number of children.
