ANOTHER MAY Be INVOLVED.

Negro Aasaiiant OF Miss Flora booze May
Have Had an Accomplish.
Special Correspondence Of Every Evening.
Dover, Jan. %. There Is sus-
picion that the negro John LAngford.
alias Frederick Groves, the alleged
assailant Of Miss Flora Booze, the Mil
ford school teacher, who Is now con-
fined IN Jail here awaiting trial, may
not be the real assailant, or may have
had an aooomplice. This suspicion is
based on an item appearing in a morn
ing paper OF yesterday, under date Of
Philadelphia, stating that "a negro
arrested near League Island for intoxi-
cation WAS searched after being taken
into custody, and three books we're
iound in his possession bearing the
name Of the school at Milford, Del. q,
which is in charge of Miss Flora
Booze, young teacher who was re-
GENTLY attacked by a negro who is now
in Dover Jail. T"
The first report which reached here
of the assault on Miss Booze was to
the etfectHthat the assailant, according
to her story, was a light mulatto,
while Langford is a very dark negro.
While Il is asserted that bangford
made confession the night he was
arrested, he now stoutly denies that
be committed the assault. But TO
Sheriff Baker, the morning he was
brought to Dover, he said that If he
was accused OF the assault, he
guessed he did it. "
Attorney General Richards may be
asked by the Kent county authorities
to investigate the arrest of the man
in Philadelphia, as he may also be
wanted here for the assault on Miss
Booze.
