BIG BURLY BRUTE
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
ON HELPLESS WOMAN
Especial to the Tribune)

CINCINNATI O., June 3--Two
weeks ago from the West End of this
city, Dahl, the news was flashed
over the world that another Negro
outrage had taken place. A white
woman called up her husband who
worked out at night and told him that
a big, burly Negro had caught her
after her father left for breakfast,
over-powered her, and robbed the
house That he had evidently been
in hiding there all night. The police
got busy at once. After an extended
investigation the officers got suspic-
ious and on cross-examination the
woman broke down, and said that her
statement was untrue That she sim
ply told the story as a joke on her
husband.
1t was funny for her, possibly, but
it would not have been funny for any
Negro answering the description she
gave. For he might have been
lynched. She would have stuck to
her story and the reputation of our
people would have been make blacker.
God only knows how many poor
Negroes have suffered death and tor
tgre because of lies.
The following clipping from daily
papers is interesting:
Robbery Told as Joke
Mrs. Marie Marthens, 30 of 651
Delhi Ave. who reported to police she
was choked and robbed Ey a Negro
in her home Saturday, told police
Monday. they charge, she made up
the story as joke on her husband.
