MATTE SIMPSON TELLS
OF NEGR0'S ATTACK
Easton Girl Testifies Against
Jerry Castle and Latter is
Held for Grand Jury.

Easton, Md, Sept. 24.-Mattie Simp-
son, who says she was attacked last
Wednesday. by Jerry Castle. near the
Ferry Neck Church. was brought 10
the Court House yesterday afternoon
10 testify at the hearing of Castle.
She said she arrived at Bellevue about
o'clock from Oxford where she at
tended school. According TO her testi-
mony her home was three miles away
and she started to walk. After go
ing through w II. Valliant's farm ami
that of Z. A. Townsend, she said she
took a path that leads from the lat
ter's farm to the Ferry Neck Church.
This led her through a small strip OF
woods and it was here that Castle, she
said seized her. She said she tried 20
defend herself but the accused over
powered her and threw her to the
ground. A finger was thrust in her
mouth to keep her from screaming
and a scar on the Negro's finger is
the result, evidently for she said she
bit him as hard as she could. BY
this time she said he had pulled out
a long bladed knife with which he
threatened to cut her heart out If
she made an outcry.
The Negro arose so as to close the
knife, Miss Simpson said. Then. she
says, she pushed him away and
wrenched herself away from him. She
ran TO the home of Robert l.. New
nam, arriving there in a nervous con-
dition. She was crying hard and fell
at the door. William II. Valiant was
sent for, said the girl. and he took
her home in his auto.
Mrs. Robert Newman and her sister
Mrs. Henrietta Young. both testified
as did also w. II. Valiant and Sheriff
Soulsby Magistrate Johnston told the
accused Negro that he was charged
with crime which might cost him
his life and that he need not say any
thing if he did not choose to as what
he said might be used against him al
the trial. Castle remained silent
fastening his eyes on the floor nearly
all the time.
The magistrate remanded him Z
jail TO await the November grant
jury.
Castle was spirited away from this
jail Thursday night, but brought bacl
early yesterday morning. 1t was stated
that he was taken TO Baltimore. How.
ever, he was taken TO a secluded spol
and kept there until the excitement i
/ Easton had died down.
