GET PERPETRATOR OF
 BRITISH CRIME

Baltimore, Nov. 1s-Charles Rob- ertson, 16 year old negro, was rushed to the Baltimore city jail early today for safe keeping after confess ing, the police say, to one of the most revolting crimes in the history of the state.
 The youth is said to have acknowl. edged that on Monday, he attacked Mrs Arthur Hightman, in Freder:e county, with a hatchet, after which he crimina1ly assaulted her and then set fire to her clothing. He had first saturated her clothing with oil, according to the authorities. The woman died yesterday.
 So intense was the feeling against the negro, that Frederic county au thorities- rushed him here for safe keeping. He expressed relief when he was safely lodged in the city jail.
 The negro had been employed about the Hightman home. Mrs. Hightman was Tn a semi-conscious condition when found by her hus- band. Before she died she told her relatives that the negro had assault ed her and poured oil on her clotir ing. The Hightmans have a 19 months old child, who was playins | in an adjoining room, when the mother was attacked.
