When the case of Lewis Higdon,

called in the Circuit Court Friday
afternoon, the defendant, who is a
young farmer of the Knottsville
neighborhood, walked before Judge
Birkhead and stated that he was
willing to marry Miss Minnie Rodg-
ers, the pretty sixteen-year-old girl
who is his accuser.
The statute in such cases provides
that in the event the accused Of
fers to marry the person whom he
is said to have betrayed, that no
matter whether she accepts or re-
jects the proposal, the prosecution
against the defendant shall be
abated. o.
Judge Birkhead turned to the
young girl. who was neatly attired
and who is a very bright, intelli-
gent and rather pretty girl, and ask
ed her II she would marry Higdon.
She very promptly and deliberate
ly answered in the negative.
