The superior court for Washington county, Judge Doran and a jury, in session at Westerly. was occupied on Thursday with the trial of the case of the state against Hiram Dawley of the town of Richmond and Elmer Northup of the town of Hopkinton, charged with an attempt to have car nal knowledge of Alice s. Collins, 14 years of age and a resident of the village of Woodville. The state is rep resented by Assistant AttorneyNG General Fred A. Otis, and Attorney Samuel w. K Allen represents Dawley and Northup. The accused were arrested by Chief of Police Fuller and in the Third district court pleaded guilty. As the final disposition was not with the district court. they were adjudged as being probably guilty and held for trial in the superior court.
 The jury impanelled to hear the case is composed of John 4. Stillman. Cur don B. Hiscox, David T. Talbot of Westerly; Henry J. Cassidy, Herbert ". Card South Kingston; Charles J. Gardiner (foreman), Squire Spink. FL mer C. Gardiner of South Kingston3 Orville NJ. Meserve of Richmond; Irv- ing H. Greene of Charlestown; William Nas AA0gEEAr VI uAAO pA 'ASP
 kinton: John H. Gardiner of Exeter.
 Mir. Otis. addressing the jurors, said this case was the result of the alleged attempt of Hiram Dawley and Elmer Northup to have carnal knowledge of Alice Collins, under IS years of age, in the town of Richmond, on the night of Feb 2s last. The state expected to prove that the girl left the postoffice between 6.30 and ' o'clock and that Gordon Harrington started to accom- pany her home. The girl had not pro- ceeded far when Dawley and Northup spoke to her and one Of them took hold of her arm. The Harrington boy remembered that he had left his um- brelia in the postoffice and went back for it. Dawley and Northup went to the gate of the girls home with her, about five minutes walk from the post ofice. When she attempted to go into her house the young fellows pulled her of the road into lot until they came to a fence, telling her they were going to take her to the railroad station. When the fence was reached one of the fellows climbed over, telling his chum 10 throw the girl over the fence. Then the girl screamed. a team approached and Dawley and Northup ran away.
 The state will show that when the girl reached home she was greatly ex- cited and told her mother what had happened. The next day one of the accused called at the Collins home and
