TO the charge of attempted rape pre-
ferred against him by seventeen year
old Miss Mary Handy. The prelimi-
nary hearing I'm the municipal court

The complaining witness took the
stand and was subjected to long ana
searching examination and cross eN-
animation. both of which she stood
pretty well. and her testimony did
not appear to be shaken. Her ap-
pearance on the stand was in her
favor.
County Attorney Prosecuted.
County Attorney Schmitt conducted
the questioning for the state. and
Ivan Bowen appeared for the defend
ant. who paid close attention to the
testimony that was given against
him. Ed. Stubblefield was the only

way TO show intent 10 commit the
crime charged.
Denied by Judge Piymat.
Judge Plymat did not look upon
the motion as well founded and de-
MED Il and held that the crime charg-
ed had been committed and that
there was probable cause to believe
that the defendant was guilty, and or
dered him committed to the county
Jail to await the converting Of the
next grand jury.
In her testimony on cross exami-
nation. the defendant said that she
