CHILD PROVES HER
OWN BEST WITNESS
AGAINST ABDUCTOR
Tells Straightforward Story
and Gayer Gets Year
In Jail.

Little Aschsah Petty, eight years old,
told the story today of Edward Gayer,
forty-ffve years old. forcing her aboard
a trolley Car and carrying her to the
outskirts of the city. The story so
timIdly told by the little girl, as she
stood at the knee of Judge Pugh, in
United States side of Police Court,
brought a sentence of year in Jail for
Gayer. Assault was the charge against
him.
The little girl. with light hair just
beginning to touch her shoulders, with
fair skin and blue eyes, modest and
timid, Won the hearts of everyone in
the court room as she told her story
to Judge Pugh.
Other witnesses, who rescued the
child from Gayer, were called. But the
child herself was her own best wit
ness.
Gayer took the girl out on Rhode
Island avenue and she was rescued
from him at the culvert where the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks
cross the avenue.
Little Aschsah showed the effects of
the terrible nervous strain that she was
under during her carrying away and the
attack upon her. Her eyes were still
reddened from crying.
THE best little witness and the
bravest little girl that has come before
this court in years." were the words
spoken by judge and court officials after
the child finished her story.
