Ethel Monk Is Acquitted of the Charge of Assault
 ing Her Father.
FILE ANOTHER CHARGE
Attorneys for State Wih Take Matt ter Before Jefferson County
 Grand Jury.

MISS fLC11eI VMOnk, OI L1ttle ROCK, a pretty blond of 16 years, was acquit- ted of the charge of assault with in- tent to kill her father, John Monk, in Justice J. "A. F'razier's court yes- terday afternoon. Magistrate Fra zier reduced the charge to aggra- vated assault, but Prosecuting Attor- ney Creed Caldwell and Attorney T.. Havis Nixon, who appeared for the state, refused to have her rearrested on the second charge, declaring that they would never consent to con- viction of white girl which would mean Imprisonment a term on the county farm. They stated that they would take the case up with the Jef- ferson county grand jury and, if pos- sible, have the girl indicted and sent to the State Reform School, where her father wanted her placed.
 The case of Sarah Monk, also of Little Rock, the 19-year-old sister of the defendant, who is charged with disturbing the peace, was postponed in the city police court. The aged father of Ethel Monk appeared in the magistrates court and testified against her. He wept, while giving testimony, and the scene was most affecting. The two pretty women were accompanied to court by their mother, Mrs. Clara Monk, of, Little Rock, who ia divorced from the plaint- if.
 Tbe case was most sensational and while on the witness stand Ethel Monk testified that she was only re- gently taken out of convent at Hot Springs by her father. She declared that she did not intend to injure her father last Saturday when she clubbed him at the home of Matt Mc- Gehee on West Thirteenth avenue. She said that her father declared that he would kill her and her sister and that she struck him with the club to prevent his carrying out his threat. The aged man, although al- most too weak to walk, appeared in court with his head banlaged.
 The young women came here last Saturday morning with their mother to appear as witnesses in the Jeffer- son chancery court. where petition, filed by Mrs. Monk, was to have been argued. The mother seeks to recov- CT the possession of Clara Monk. a 7-year-old girl, who was awarded to Monk when the divorce petition was disposed of. The daughters went to Monks home to visit the girl. they said, and when the child begged them to take her away from the father they did so. Monk pursued them and when he recaptured the girl the older daughters assaulted him with club. he says.
