leen Golden of Romans avenue

painter of 512 Jackson avenue, for in
juries sustained when the white man
attempted to criminally assault her.
The attack was committed in the
rooms which Mrs. Golden occupied as
iantreSS of an apartment house. Sher-
man had been employed to do some
painting work upstairs. 1t was the
testimony of the plaintiff that the

BELLS court that Mrs Golden was en-
titled to recover damages, but spent
several hours agreeing upon the
amount. William Golden. husband of
the plaintiff, who sued Sherman, was
given cents damages.
