DEATH OR LIFE
IMPRISONMENT
sTAREs YOUNG MAN IN THE
FACE FOR CRIMINAL ASSAULT
ON YOUNG GIRL,

cLARKSBURG. Oct. 5.-wednes
day afternoon Emma Cain, accompan
LED by her father. appeared before
Squire Riley and complained that
Carl Smith did violently and against
her will feloniously ravish and car
nally know her.
The Squire issued a warrant for
Smiths arrest and Constables Merritt
Lyons and Coffman left to get their
man.
Smith resides with his parents be.
tween West Milford and Lost Creek
Station. He was found at his home
and placed under arrest and brought
here, arriving about 2 A. NJ. Thurs.
day morning and locked up in jail
where he is awaiting preliminary
hearing.
r. The crime with which Smith is
charged is serious one, the penalty
prescribed by law for such offenses is
either life sentence in prison or
death.
The young girl gave her age as 1S
years. and told the Justice that to
her recollection the first attempt was
made upon her on Sunday, July 80.
AT that time she was making her
home with the Smiths and on that
particular day the: entire family was
absent with the exception of Carl
Smith. and that he made indecent pro.
posals to her and when she refused
he resorted to force.
The condition Of the girl Is pitiable
las II is well known she VIII become a
mother.
1t is alleged that an attempt will
be made by the defense to prove thai
the girl is lewd and is known to have
been in company with several other
young men. But that matters not
because girl under IA years of age
is presumed by law to have no will,
and for every offense committed the
crime is punishable by either death
or life Imprisonment.
Smith comes of a good family
His father agreed to bail him out OF
jail, but for this offense the perpetra
tor cannot give bail.
Miss Cain is sister of James Cain
who was tried for fighting at this
term of court and sentenced to serve
80 days in the county Jail and pay .
fine of $50.
Smith will be given hearing be.
fore Squire Riley at P. NJ, Saturday.
