Salisbury, Feb. 21. The family of
Engineer Peter Roueche were sum
moned to Biltmore last night by a mes
sage stating that he was worse. His
wife was already with him. Mr. J. X.
Roueche, manager of the Evening Post
and a brother of the injured engineer,
spent several hours with him Monday
and returned to Salisbury yesterday.
Ke has but little hope for his brother.
It is almost certain that Rowan will
get a new and modern jail. The grand
jury last week condemned the present
structure, declaring it to be a veritable
fire trap. When the new prison is built
it will probably be erected on Church
street just in the rear of the old jail,
which occupies a large and valuable
lot on Main street, almost in the busi
ness section of the city.
The plans for Salisbury's new pas
senger station have been accepted by
the Southern and work will begin on
it at an early date. The building will
cost about $50,000 and will stand on
the site now occupied by the old
depot.

weather prediction of Observer Ben
nett. In his remarks, he says:
"The center of the area of low ba
rometer which was over the upper
Lakes Tuesday morning has drifted
eastward over the lower Lakes, but its
influence has extended far to the south
ward, and rain has fallen generally
east of the Mississippi, except along
the New England and middle Atlantic
coast. An area of high barometer over
Texas, has caused clearing weather in
that State and in Louisiana. With the
eastward drift of these conditions, fair
weather may be expected in this vi
cinity tonight, with falling tempera

J. F. Yount, Convicted of an As
sault on .Mrs. Qdfrie Jenkins.
The Little Woman . Became
Hysterical When She Related
the Occurrence.
A very important case was tried in
the Recorder's court this morning and
one wherein the law of 'North Caro
lina is proven to be very deficient-in
the matter of punishment.
, J. P. Yount was charged with an as
sault with intent to rape Mrs. .Carrie
Jenkins, the wife of Mr. A. B. Jenkins,
who is an employe of the Mecklenburg
Mills.
At the outset, Mr. Cameron Morri
son, who represented Mrs. Jenkins,
stated frankly to the Court that he did
not think the evidence would substan
tiate the more heinous crime that of
rape therefore he would ask that the
Court hear the evidence purely from
the point of a simple assault.
The first and only witness was the
defendant. Mrs. Carrie Jenkins, a frail
little woman with golden hair and mod
est demeanor, took the stand and told
m a simple, yet convincing manner ot
the great wrong done her by a stalwart
man. She says that Yount came to her
little home at the Mecklenburg Mill,
shortly after 11. o'clock yesterday
morning. She was busily engaged
cooking the dinner for her husband,
who works in the mill. Yount came
tot the door and asked some questions
as to what they were paying at the mill
and "What rent they charged for the
houses. He sat down in the doorway
and the little woman continued to pre
pare the noon meal. When she had
finished, she carefully put the eatables
in the little basket and gave it to her
little brother to take to her husband
at the mill.
When the child had gone Yount
seemed to think that his opportunity
was at hand. He made an improper
proposal, which was scorned by the
little woman. He then laid violent
hands on Mrs. Jenkins, and in her
feeble condition she was only able to
resist the attack by pulling away. Ac
cording to her own statement she sank
m a chair completely unnerved. The
man seeing that he had made a grevi
ous mistake, commenced to plead with
her to remain quiet and not expose
him. Still badly frightened , she said

a pretty little .child and as smart as it
can be. f.r,"
The Recorder heard the ugly evi
dence against Florence Ramsay and
gave her" just-" one week to get out of
town.
"I. can't leave," said the woman, "I
am in debt and I would not think of
leaving until I settled what I owe. Be
sides, this is a free town." '
"It is as long as you behave your
self. The sentence of the Court is
that you get out in a week."
W. H.-Roberts, who has been before
the Court several times for drinking
too much liquor, "was again at his old
tricks yesterday. An,d,too,when search
ed, an old pistol was found on his per
son. Roberts did not know where he
got his liquor, but it developed during
the trial that it was drug store booze.
He was fined $20 for the drunk and
was required to give a $25 bond for his
appearance at the next term of the
court, in the pistol case.
W. A. Lee was fined $5 for a plain
drunk, without any trimmings.

nothing. Yount then left the house.
Shortly after he departed the little
brother of Mrs. Jenkins returned from
the mill with the dinner basket. Mrs.
Jenkins told him to run to the mill and
tell her husband to come to her at
once, which he did.
Yount was arrested and placed in
the tombs. .
.t)uring the. ..time . Mrs. Jenkins was
telling of the occurrence, she com
pletely broke down. She was border
ing on the hysterical at first and the
excitement incident to the relation of
the outrageous attack on her, was
more than she could bear up under.
The crowd out in the court room that
attend from day to day, were moved to
tears. For the little woman had told
of such horrible things that manhood
resented and felt for her in her trying
ordeal. ......
At the clo of the testimony Mr.
Cameron Morrison arose and asked
that the maximum punishment pre
scribed by the law, which is 30 days
on the roads, be the judgment of the
Court. He felt sure that a ! great
wrong had been done a defenseless
woman; that Yount had gone to this
humble home and'in the absence. of the
bread-winner, who toiled that he might
make the little woman comfortable,
had sought to defile his wife and
bring disgrace to his home. He
thought that the maximum punish
ment was too little, but it was all the
law said could be done in feuch cases.
Mr. Morrison said that he knew the
family; that they came from Rich
mond county. ,
"It is true," said Mr. Morrison, "that
they are poor people, but I have nevqr
heard one thing against either Mr.
Jenkins or his wife. I am satisfied
that the Court will impose the maxi
mum punisment."
Mr. Morrison was followed by Mr.
Frank R. McNihch, who represented
Yount. He said that he did not feel as
Mr.Morrison concerning the matter of
punishment. There was an intimation
that .YounU might f have misconstrued
Mrs. ' Jenkins, demeanor and he might
have thought that the fact that she in
vited him to sit down and eat dinner,
was improper, in the absence of her
husband. He said he hoped the Court
would not inflict the extreme punish
ment in such cases.
Mr. Morrison came back at Mr. Mc
Ninch and said there was no act of
Mrs. Jenkins mat any good man could
possibly construe as a license for the
proposal made by Yount, and he in
sisted that the severest punishment be
inflicted.
The Court in passing sentence said
that the statement made by Mrs. Jenk
ins was, to his mind, the correct one.j
"The little woman does not have to
have a certificate of character. God
gave her the face and she has the man
ner of a good, true woman. I am sat
isfied that a great wrong has been done
her not only her, but to society. I will
sentence the defendant to 30 days on
the public roads."
Counsel for Yount wished to appeal
and the Court fixed the appeal bond at
$500. He was unable to give this.
Jyateiy the notice -of appeal was with
drawn ana Yount was taken to jail,
from where he will go to, the roads.
. Col. Tom Black says that when he
went doW3t to Florence Ramsay's house
last night to arrest her for being
drunk, : he - was" met at tjhe door by a
little tot, a son of the Ramsay woman.
The child - had been crying because of
this mother's ugly actions. As the no-
lice entered the room the child walked 1
lim to Col. Black and said: ' I
I ,. "Mister,, please take mother and this
mkn to the'- calaboose: ; Thev are

Mrs. Belva Lockwood Says It Is a
Necessity.. A;
Washington Post. -
At the Sunday afternoon meeting of
the Washington Secular League Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood read a paper on
Mariage and Divorce," emphasizing
the necessitv of the later. A discus
sion followed in which the concensus
of opinion was that a statue granting
divorce in a maner that would elim
inate the disgrace now attached to
court proceedings should be enacted.
In the course of the discussion Mrs.
Sarah H. Sawyers expressed the belief
that a divorce coupon should be at
tached to each marriage certificate.
She held that it was the business of
none out tne contracting parties n
they chose to separate,- and the law
should allow them to 'do so. She stated
that it was nothing less than an im
pertinence on the part , of a minister
to ; refuse to marry a couple because
one member was a divorcee.
Mrs. Sawyers said ; that the great
majority of women were of the same
opinion, but because of financial de
pendence uuon man and a sense of
delicacy in the matter; they refused to
state such views. ' "V 3 '

Mrs'. Lockwood favors especially"' di
vorce 'without disgrace. She held that
whenrpeonle found that it was impost
sible ' to live together in happiness7 it
was 'much better to be divorced and
allow both parties an opportunity to
remarry and possibly become mem
bers' of two new and "happy families-.
An, education and "'proper bringing
up' of the race was the -only manner
in which divorce could be diminished,
said Mrs. Lockwood:
Mrs. Lockwood practices law in the
District, and holds that the present
stringent law which allows divorce
only upon definite proof of a violation
of scriptural admonition ' is in every
way undesirable. The procuring of
divorce under this law is impossible,
added the speaker,--without the utter
disgrace of one of the parties, of a
third porty who is brought into the
case, and of the children of a family,
if there are any.
Old Law Preferable.
She held that the law which refused
marriage to a divorced person threw
that person adrift and that immorality
was sure to follow. A legal separation
was characterized as ' a . joke. It was
stated that while the Edmunds act
applied to tho District, members of
the upper stratum seldom if ever were
were tried under it and that i was
oppressive only in P6lice Court cases.
The old and more liberal law was
preferable to the present stringent
regulation, concluded Mrs. Lockwood,
as divorce was often desirable when
neither party had been guilty of any
fault, and a new general . law along
liberal lines and and education that
that would reach the root of evil we're
the proper remedies. '
