POLICE HUNT
ASSA|LANT
Of GIRL
Three Negroes Taken Before VIC
tim, but She Fails to Ac-
cuse Them.

Failure marked the effort of the
police Saturday to have a young At
lanta girl, lassoed by a negro and
attacked, identify any one of three
negroes arrested as suspects. The
young woman, as she confronted the
three negroes in her home, admitted
that she found 1t impossible to say
certainly that any one of them was
her head and dragged her into an
alley off East Fair street Friday
night.
One of the negroes, Nathaniel Red
en-, % years old, of No Is Plant
street, was arrested early Friday, and
two others were arrested by Police
man Barfield and Detectives Webt
and Harper several hours later.
Servant Acted Peculiarly.
The last two gave their names as
Tom Weeks, Of billiard street. and
Rooney Stamper, of No. Al Granger
street. Stamper is a servant in a
house that overlooks the alley, and
was arrested by the detectives be-
cause of his peculiar actions during
the morning.
A reward of $50 has been offered by
Webb & Vary, printers for the arrest
of the perpetrator of the outrage.
After her terrifying experience. the
young woman, half dead with fright,
made her way to the home of George
Nealy, No 2S9 East Fair stree;, and
reported the crime
Nearly Strangled by Rope.
She said she was on her way home
after visiting friends on East Fair
street and that AS she passed an alley
negro threw the loop of rope over
her head and dragged her into the all
ley. The rope, she says. was pulled
so tight about her throat that she was
nearly strangled,
The assault occurred shortly after
Z o'clock. but there was light enough
in the neighborhood for the victim to
get a good look at her assailant, and
she says she is positive she will be
able to identify him if he is cap
tured. The police were inclined to be-
lieve they had the right man in the
person of Reden, who answers the de-
scription furnished by che young
woman.
Reden. who is laborer denies THAI
he had any connection with the crime
