state VS.. DR.. G.. w. Greaves is now on
trial in the district court before Judge
w. B. Quarton The defendant is ac-
cused of the crime of an assault with
intent to commit rape, alleged to have
been perpetrated upon the person of
one Martha Torkelson.
DR.. Greaves has been a resident of
this city during the past ten or twelve
years. during the most OF which time
he has been activity engaged in the
practice of medicine. During the past
few years, however, he has abandoned
the practice of medicine and has de-
voted his time and attention wholly to
the telephone business. He owns a
large block of stock in the Spencer
Telephone Company and is manager
that company. He also owns several
rural lines, and is supposed to be the
principal stakeholder in the Northern
Rural Telephone Company, company
which operates lines turnout counties
in northwestern Iowa.
He is man about IS years Of age,
a widower with family of two sons
and a daughter, who are now grown
to maturity.
1t appears that Miss Torkelson the
prosecuting witness, was working as a
household servant for the doctor in
December of last year ana it is claimed
that he entered her room ana made the
assault. The doctor denies that any
assault took place whatever.
Most of the day was spent in get
ting a jury, and as this is being writ
ten, the opening statements are being
made to the judge. The case Is being
prosecuted by County Attorney F..
Kirkpatrick, assisted by Judge F. H.
Helsell, and the defendant is represent
ted by G. III. Martin of this city and
F. F. Faville, of Storm Lake.
There has been considerable rivalry
and i'll feeling between the Spencer
Telephone Company and its manage
ment and the Citizens Telephone Com
pany and it's management, and it is
alleged that the prosecution of this
case is being urged on by the enemies
of DR.. Greaves and competitors in bust
ness. DR.. Greaves is member of the
Methodist Episcopal church of this city
and is teacher in the Sunday school
and has been for many years. He
has always been active in churce FORK.
