Katie Gallagher Says Edward
Dawson Outraged Her.
VICTIM AND ACCUSED MEET
Little Girl is Brought From Her Home
Near Eddyvlle for the Purpose of
Identifying Her Alleged Assailant-
Says There is No Mistake.

In the presence of number of per-
sons, in the Office of Sheriff Cremer,
this morning, little 12-year-old Katie
Gallagher positively identified Edward
Dawson as the man who outraged her
upon the public highway near her
home in Eddyville last Thursday ev-
ening. The Identification was COM
plete. the little girl saying there could
be no possibility of a mistake. What
effect the positive statement of the
girl will have, upon the people of Ed
dyville can hardly be told. 1t is said
that the populace of that vicinity is
still very highly inflamed over the as
sault. but it is not thought that there
will be an attempt to wreak summary
vengeance upon the man charged with
the crime. He is still incarcerated in
the Wapello county Jail, and will prob
ably be kept there until the grand jury
acts upon his case.
Meet at the Jail.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Gallagher,
father and mother of Katie, brought
the little girl to Ottumwa this morn
ing, accompanied by Attorney w. R.
Nelson of Eddyville, who has been en-,
gagged to help prosecute the case. Up
on their arrival here they were taken
direct to Sheriff Cremer's office in the
county jail Here the little party was
joined by County Attorney Emery and
a Courier representative. When Sher-
Tiff Cremer went to Davison's cell to
bring him down stairs he was not told
why he had been sent for. He was
told to put on his sweater and what
other clothing he wore at the time OF
the alleged assault, and it was but a
wait of few seconds until the man
stepped in front of his alleged victim

of him. Her face twitched nervously

the Courier reporter. No, indeed;

far as the identification was concerned

the effects OF her alleged mistreatmen
