Three weeks ago John Worthington, |
a well-to-dO planter, residing near |
Rome, Ga, was convicted of ravishing
Rosa Elrod, the seventeen-yeaT-old
daughter of a neighbor, and sentenced
to the penitentiary for twenty years.
Rosa Elrod was practically the only
witness against WOrthingtOn. She re-
lated in detail the story Of the out
rage, and the jury at once convicted.
WorthingtOn stOutly denied the crime
and said there was a plot to ruin him.
Two days ago Rosa Elrod made an
affidavit that she had perjured herself.
She said she loved Worthington but
he refused to marry her, and she swore
he had outraged her for revenge.
Her confession has caused a great
sensation and caused so much bitter
ness against the Elrods that they have
left the county.
