SEEK ASSAILANT
OF LITTLE Girl
Child FIees as Negro Grabs
Her in StatehouSe.

State and statehouse police joined
forces today to track down a Negro
who twice has attempted to attack
small girls in statehouse corridors.
Today he grabbed the arm of
12-year-old girl who was looking at
the battle flags on the fourth floor,
and attempted to drag her with him
into q dark recess. The girl
screamed and escaped. Crying, she
fled to the state coal bureau Office
where she was cared for by DR..
John w. Hewitt, who called state
house police.
A suspect was arrested but the
girl failed to identify him. She
described the man as young
Negro, not a statehouse employee,
who wore a gray overcoat and black
hat with a black muffler over his
arm.
A similar attempt was made
Thursday on little girl in the
easement, Greene said.
