entering the home on the outskirts OF
boswell. with a pail OF water. He
asked her for drink and followed
her into the house, There he COM
mitted the crime. with only the blank
walls Of the deserted home to hear
her screams for mercy.
He left her In a semi-conscious con-
dition. When the parents OF the
young girl arrived home from the
ball game they found her with her
feet tied with ribbon which the negro
had pulled from her head. The child,
in sobs. told OF the assault. The or
ganixation Of large posse and the
