News and Courier: A surprise was
sprung here yesterday when the grand
jury brought In true bill in the case
of John g. Darby, charged with assault
with intent to ravish. The case has
been set for trial tomorrow. This bids
fair to be the most sensational trial
held here in recent years. Mr.. Darby
is the chief Of police Of the town Of
Batesburg and bears an excellent rep
utation there, 1t Is said. The woman
in the case Is a widow, and the mother
Of a young man, who Ia now out on
bond for his appearance in the state
and Federal courts. The grand jury
yesterday returned true bill against
him also for housebreaking and lar
ceny. 1t Is thought that the case will
consume two days, as there are a num-
Der of witnesses on each side. Mr.
Darby will be defended by Messrs
Efrd & Dreher Of Lexington, and Col
E. w. Strother Of Batesburg. Solicitor
Zimmerman will be assisted In the
prosecution by Mr.. E. L. Asbill Of
Leesville and ex-senator Sharpe, 1t is
said. It will be one Of the hardest
fought legal battles ever tried here.
