GIRLS FAIL TO IDENTIFY MAN.
An Alleged AssauIter Is Released al
CenterviIe Through Lack Of
Evidence,

Centerville, Aug. 26. The affair
Of last Friday night in which the Cos
ner and Martin girls are alleged to
have been assaulted while on the
streets of Centerville about $3.50, has
caused much intense interest here and
is liable to result in further arrests,
az the girls failed to identify young
Silknetter as one Of the alleged as
saulters and he has been discharged
from custody. His arrest grew partly
ont of misunderstanding of facts,
and the girls now say they never ao-
cused him Of being one of the parties.
They cling to the charge that Ram.
sey was connected with the alleged
assault, but their case has been con
stderably shaken and about all that
can be charged against any one is as,
sault and battery. Ramsey's case
comes to trial before local justice
and it is thought the whole affair will
then come out. The girls accused one
Of the local officers as being In the
party, but he denied 1t and no action
was taken against him.
