When, near her home on South Fronts street av negro man, supposed to be Williams, stepped out fromhehind a tree and put his hands oft Miss Sloan and made several in stiltingX remarks. The young lady screamed for help and the negro struck her on the head,relasing her immediate ly afterwards and making his escape.

From the description given "the officer he had Williams under. arrest : a Short time later and had placed him in the county jail for safe keeping.
