ANN|STON WOMAN
 VICTIM OF ASSAULT
Young White Man Captured
 and Identified
SPIRITED HIM AWAY
Julian Williams Accomplishes His Purpose on Mrs. Brittian and Is Quickly Captured By
 Sheriff Brooks

Anniston, June 16.-(Special0 0-Julian Williams, the young white man who crim- inallv assaulted Mrs James Forrest Brit tain in this city Friday morning, was cap turned by Sheriff Charles T. Brooks imme- diately in front of the Calhoun county courthouse about 6:30 o'clock Friday evening. He was taken immediately to the home of Mrs. Brittian, by whom he was identified, and within less than an hour afterward he had been spirited away to Birmingham, 1t is presumed. although the sheriff declines to state positively where the prisoner was taken.
 Details of the assault prove it to be an unusually dastardly one. Tt was at first reported Friday morning that the assault had not been accomplished, but Sheriff Brooks states that the woman's hus- band admitted when the prisoner was taken to his home for identification that he had effected his fiendish purpose. Im- imediately thereafter, hearing the ap- proach of W. c. Shelnutt the man fed to the woods.
 Mrs. Brittian, who is the wife of a Well-knOWn young cdrpeulers is III u SeIl- ous condition at her home on West Eighteenth street, having been prostrated by her horrible ordeal She was in the woods looking for blackberries when the man met her and made the attack. She had been temporarily separated from her mother, who summoned help as soon as possible upon noting her daughters dis tress. William emphatcally denies his guilt. He gives a conflicting story in re- gard to the crime, however, and when questioned by Sheriff Brooks he wept. He is about 22 years of age, clean shaved, of medium height and slightly stopped. He is not believed to be very bright, and is believed to be the same man who made an attack on a younger girl in the neigh borhood of the crime before the assault on Mrs. Brittisn.
 I, He first stated that his home was at lGoodwater, but later said he was from Ashland, Ala Feeling was high against the assailant as soon as it was learned that he had accomplished his purpose, and 1t is believed Sheriff Brooks acted wisely in removing him from the city. Special precaution was taken to guard him after he had been captured and the sheriff is being congratulated on his work.

CHARGED WITH
 KEELING POCKETS

Gadsden, June 16.-(Special.) )-John Si- bert, a white man, is under arrest for stealing SSO from fellow workman at the Southern Steel plant The victim. Dan Maloney, was paid off at the plant day or two ago and putting the money in his pocket, took off his trousers and left them in his locker, as was his GUS tom while at work. When he came to change clothes again his locker had been broken open and the pockets of the trous- CTS rified of their contents.
 Suspicion pointed to Sibert and after some investigation he was arrested, charged with the crime. Very little money was found on Sbert, but 1t was dis covered that he had spent considerable for clothes and other things and the evi- dence seemed sufficient to warrant his arrest. Failing to make bond he is still confined in the jail.

 ing today when the boat keeled over and sank near the quarantine station, seven miles south of the city. The passengers were rescued by the quarantine boat Genevieve. None. of the passengers were seriously hurt although all were wet and badly frightened. The cargo will be a total loss but the vessel probably will be refoated.

Employees at the quarantine station witnessed the accident and the Genevieve was immedi- ately rushed to the assistance of the Ruth

NEXT REPUBLICAN STATE
CONVENTION TO BE SMALL

The next Republican state conven-
ton viii be one of the smallest IN
yearu. The Republican state central
committee, which holds it's meeting al
Lansing today will reapportion the
representation from the various coun-
ties on the basis of the vote cast for
the secretary of state at the Novem-
her election. This vote was extreme
Nv light. The result is that, while the
state convention held I'm Detroit i'm Oc-
tober had 1923 delegates, the conven-
ton which will be held this spring
will have bat G34 delegates. The ap-
portionment has not yet been COM
pleted and the exact figures will not
be obtainable until tomorrow, when
The state central committee meets
This much is known however: Wayne
county. which i'm the last convention
had 1872 delegates. loses 81, bringing
the representation down to 1871. Kent
county, which had. 65 delegates in the
last convention, will drop down to
about so.
Saginaw is the place most prom-
nently considered for the spring con-
vcntion. Heretofore IL has been con-
sidered the proper thing to hold the
s,.t- convention i'm Grand Rapids on
lincoln day. But this year II is be-
Pieved Roosebelt will be attraction
enough for Lincoln day and nobody
will want n political convention to
bother with. Therefore Saginaw will
likely get it.
The date, too, will DOUBTLESS be set
ahead Chairman Knox favors hold
ing the convention i'm March rather
than in February giving but one in
stead of two months campaign.
