ATTACK STORY

TOLEDO, Ohio-Once again, To-
ledo's most conspicuous playboy,
Forrest Whitaker, is on the loose.
His latest escspade caused police to
issue a warrant for his arrest on
the charge OF attack after investigat-
ing a story told by Miss Garnet
Ritter, "a, of 1872 Huron street, that
she was abducted by the Pinewood
avenue Romeo, driven to a spot in
the country and assaulted by him
last week.
She claimed that he slapped her
face when she paid no heed 10 his
trailing her in Packard sedan
bearing Ohio license number 6938-C
snd forced her into his car She is
from Carey. Ohio, and has been in
Toledo for three weeks seeking en-
ployment Because OF her being
unfamiliar with the city she
couldn't say where he took her,
she stated.
Miss Ritter further aVerred- that
Whitaker, whom she identified by
police photo drepe-heE- back-to
her rooming house and ordered her
to get her belongings and come and
live with him and threatened her
with what he would do il she
double-croSsed him. She claimed
that she ran into the house and
called police instead.
She made her report shortly be-
fore midnight on Wednesday, Aug.
IS, and officers were Immediately
dispatched to Whitakers address.
Whitaker who's 80 -afd-well-
educated, has been booked. charged
or questioned on molesting charges
very often since his coming TO To-
ledo from Columbus a few years
sgi. He has been tried for this Of
tense once
He was acquitted on the charge Of
rape in January, 1898. In this case,
he was accused OF attacking Mrs.
Beulah Williams, the only colored
woman to have actually had him
arrested on a moral charge.
As we go TO press, Whitaker
hasn't been apprehended and it is
doubtful if conviction on this
latest charge can be made il he is
found. However, the man is being
regarded as nuisance by police
and it is speculative Just what evil
dence they may have up their
sleeves to get conviction on this
statutory charge.
Miss Ritter admitted to police
investigating the case that she had
talked 10 Whitaker and that she had
told him her name but that she had
never had anything to do with
him.
