Dastardly Crime in chss,srasIa.

Chesterfield, May 3d. Y Yesterday,
at IL o'clock, within two and half
miles Of THE town, on the plantation
owned by DR.. AN. Redfern, one Of
the most dastardly crimes known to-
man was attempted upon the 15-
year-old daughter of j. w. Threatt,
DR.. Redfern's oyerseer, By Ned
Cash, a big, burly, black negro. The
girl was hunting eggs when accosted
by the negro. He grabbed her and
had he not been in ditch while she
was on the bank he might have ac-
complished his design.
b Az be. ran off the father of the girl,
MIR. Threatt, shot at him, part of the
lead taking effect in his head. OIL
cers started in pursuit with blood
hounds, but on their way met an
other negro, who told them that
Cash would be along ina few min.
uter, and oyea while they were talk
ing they looked down the railroad
and saw him coming, and he was
promptly cut off and arrested.
He is now in Jail. Nothing wrong
has been heard of him before and he
has always been known as a quiet,
peaceable and polite negro. This is
the first attempted crime of the kind
in this section. Everything so far is
quiet and no attack on the Jail is
anticipated.
