May FoIIow-GirI in Very Nervous
Condition.
Atlanta, July 31-According to a
telephone message sent to the police
station and to the sheriff's Office, An
nie Poole, the pretty 15-year-old daugh-
ter of JOHN Poole was criminally as
sauited Tuesday morning about 10
o'clock near her home, one-half mile
from LaEeE Ood.
TIE negro, after accomplishing the
crime, made his escape into the
woods. The young lady was able 10
give only a meagre description of
the brute, owing to her excitement and
nervous condition.
Officers hurried to the scene and
neighbOrs quickly organized into a
posse to pursue the brute. If over
taken the criminal will probably be
lynched, as the citizens are enraged
over the brutal crime.
Miss Poole was on her way to a
neigbbOr's house when the criminal
attack was made.
The unknown negro met her in a
field, which she had to cross to reach
the neighbor's house, and overcome
her by his brutal strength. She
screamed and struggled against the
brute, but no one was near BY the
time the little girl had been able to
acquaint her family with what had
happened, the negro had ecaped to the
woods.
No time was lost in notifying po-
lice headquarters and both city and
county officers were dispatched to the
scene. Neighbors Joined the officers
and soon an enraged band Of officers
and citizens was in pursuit.
The little girl is being given every
attention, but is in a highly nervous
state.
