"Coot" Lsvar Will Eang.
"Coot" Lever, the would-be rapis
the burly negro who attempted t
assault the pretty young wife of
prominent farmer of the Piney Wooc
section of the Dutch Fork severs
weeks ago, was tried this mornin;
convicted and sentenced to be hange
on Friday, February 25th.
Lever was brought from the pcni
tentiary yesterday afternoon by Shei
if? Corley and D. R. Haltiwanger, tb
trip having been made in Mr. Luthe
Long's automobile. A record-breal
ing ran was made going and ever}
thing ran smoothe on the return tri
until within three miles of the com
house, when the machine became ou
of order. Fortunately, Messrs. Calvi
Craps and Lav/sou Mills, of near Gi]
bert, came along in a two-liorse wa?
on, anJ Sheriff Corley, the newspaps
man and Lever got aboard, and cam
on to Lexington.
Lever was calm and had but littl
to say. He stated that a negr
"root" doctor by the name of Ler
Judge was the cause of it all; that h
owed Judge some money and th
doctor told him if he didn't pay hin
he would cause him (Lever) to com
mit an assault upon a white woman.
At the trial this morning four wit
nesses were sworn for the State?th
pretty victim, her husband, and R
W. M. Eleazer and Constable L. L
Roof. The womar. testified as to th
attack. Although she could not po*i
tively identify Lever as the man, sh
said she believed he was the person.
Her husband testified as to seeing
Lever pass nearby where he was plow
ing. Constable Roof and Mr. Elea
zsr testified as to the arrest.

assault, but could not explain why h
was in the neighborhood.
Messrs. Martin and Sturkie brief!.
addressed the jury, asking for merej
laying stress upon the fact that tber
was no positive identification by th
victim.
Solicitor Tim merman briefly bu
vigorously addressed the jury. In
few words Judge Watts delivered hi
charge, covering the law in the case.
The jury remained out a short whil
and returned with a verdict of guilty
