that she go with him to his

When she resented his attack
he offered her money for im

She stated he then pickc^ her

in the bedroom and threw her
accross the bed fully dressed

struggle and ran into the living-

Clark. After tussling virith him
again she stated he finally gave
up and went into the bathroom
wliich gave her a chance to
escai>e from the house.
She stated that Clark came
to her home around 6:30 P. M.,

had happened and stated that
he had been drinking. He asked
her if he might settle the matter
