Held fer Attempted Murder.-Perry
Patterson, now in the custody of the
Davenport police and wanted at Des
Moines, from whence he escaped a few
weeks ago. was yesterday indicted by
the grand jury at Des Moines on the
charge of assault with intent to COM
nit murder. The Indictment came as
a victory over the justice courts in the
capital city by the police department,
as Patterson, with 10 others, had been
dismissed on the charges preferred
against them by Justice of the Peace
Zell G. Roe, because the police depart
ment failed to put in an appearance in
tho justice court at the time the cases
were called. Patterson is charged with
having attempted to murder Josie Tru-
