BRITT AND SONS CHARGED
WITH UGLY CRIME

Nicholas Britt, a white man, of
Osborne Ave-, this city and his
son rnd another youth, are held
in the county jail for a most re-
voting crime. This shows that
such crimes are not confined to any
special racial species. The follow

Althoug the state was unable to
show reasonable grounds on which
Nicholas Britt, 1929 Osborne ave.
would be held for grand jury in
vestigation on two serious charges,
the defendant was bound over on
a charge of crime against nature
by Justice of the Peace Reilly yes
terday afternoon after Britt wrs
given a preliminary hearing. He
was unable to give $4,000 bond
and was remanded to the county
jail.
Britt was charged with erimi
nally assaulting his 12-year-old
daughter, Agnes Helen Britt, with
incest and with crime against ma
ture. On the two former charges
the defendants little daughter was
not of the character which would
warrant the holding of her father
under bond to the grand jury. The
crime against nature charge, how
ever, was not withdrawn and Britt
was held pending futher investi-
by the next grand jury.
Britt son, Nicholas Britt, jr.,
who is charged with incest, and
