GAVE NAME EDW. CLARK
Hearing Held al Montpelier This Fore
noon and Sufficient Evidence
Brought Out.

Montpelier. Aug. 12.-The man arrested
yesterday on the charge Of attempted rape
on little Emma Billadeau, was IN court
this morning, giving his name as Edward
Clark. After testimony was heard In the
case, Clark was bound over to county
court, bail being fixed at 5000, which has
not been furnished.
The prisoner said that he had no resi-
denee but that be was born and brought
up in Keene, n H., and that he came to
Montpelier to collect some money that was
owed him. He did not take counsel, but
told his own side Of the case on the wit
ness stand.
The witnesses examined were the girl
on whom It alleged Clark attempted rape,
City Sheriff Docherty who made the arrest
and Clark himself The stories which the
girl and the sheriff told were far different
from that OF CLARK who said that the girl
accosted him and asked him for money
He further said that the girl walked along
with him down the railroad track and
that the girl was curious TO know what the
engine house was. He volunteered to
show her.
The Blllodeau girl said on the stand
that the man asked her to 60 with him and
that when they got to the engine house
she tried to get away, but that Clark took
out a knife and threatened to kill her if
she did try. According to the girl Clark
tried to have her drink some whiskey and
afterwards attempted 10 induce her to 60
across the river on the hill. AT about
that time Sheriff Docherty appeared and
put stop to the proceedings.
Docherty stated that he watched the
two from the time they met on State
street in front Of the postofiice until they
disappeared in the engine house. Then
he notified Chief Mcmahon. When Doeh-
erty returned to the engine house after an
absence Of i've minutes, ne entered the
house and arrested Clark Thegirl began
70 cry and ran up the track. With Sheriff
D0cherty's testimony the hearing closed
and ii was thought there was sufficient
evidence to bind Clark over to await the
action Of the grand jury.

The two runaway horses did not slack
en- their speed and just as they were about
on the team ahead one Of the horses gave
a leap and landed souarely on Goodrich's
stone wagon with such elattering Of
hoofs and rattling Of iron that the driver
thought the 'old gentleman himself was
after him.
There the horse remained, his mate run
ming along BY the side Of the wagon, until
the driver could bring his team to halt.
The harness was removed from the horse,
after which the animal turned around and

SAT DOWN WITH CONSTABLE.
Now Robert Francis Believes it is Tick
lish Experiment.

Now Robert Francis Believes it is Tick
lish Experiment.
II doesn't pay for an intoxicated person
to sis down with constable on an electric
car AIT least thar Is undoubtedly the
opinion Of Robert Francis who was SEN
fenced to ten days IN jail for intoxieation,
In Montpelier city court yesterday.
Francis capture was effected on Mon
day evening and was as easy as falling off
q log, he fairly thrusting himself upon
Constable Clark Shepard Of the town Of
Berlin. Then boarded an electric car
bound for Barre and as his luck would
have it, be sat down on the same seat
with the constable, The motion Of the
car was too much for the man, for instead
Of sitting upright as his precarions posi-
tion demanded drowsiness got the better
OF him and he was just lapsing into sound
slumber when he was gripped by the
constable and was informed that he was
bound for Montpelier.
At the next switch the change was
made and the constable and his quarry
started for county jail.
Francis paid the penalty for hh indis-
cretion yesterday in the Montpelier city
court
