JCRORS CONVICT
BRADFORD BOYD.
The State, June 23.
Bradford Boyd, 1" year old negro
farm hand, was convicted yesterday
in the criminal court on a charge of
having attempted criminal assault
upon the person of a nine year old
white girl and Judge Townsend named
Thursday, July 20, as the date for
the negro to .die by electrocution. The
alleged crime was committed Wednesday,
June 14, and the negro was
captured at Camden on the same day.
Eight days later he had been tried,
convicted and sentenced.
The alleged victim is an epileptic,
according to witnesses who took the
stand yesterday, and the little girl did
not testify. She was put on the
stand and Judge Townsend asked several
questions of her without results.
She was asked to tell what she knew
about God, and if she knew what it
meant to tell the truth or a story.'
The -court was not satisfied with the
answers and the-child was excused.
The mother of the 8 alleged yictim
said she was milking a cow about 100
yards from where the girl was playing,
when she heard children screaming.
The Witness said she ran to her
daughter and noticed Boyd running
away. She gave the alarm and ministered
to the needs of the child, she
said. The mother said the girl's body
and clothes bore marks of violence.
| She said her daughter had been an
epileptic for four years.
The physician, who attended the
girl, described her condition and cor!
roborated the mother as to the child

A negro w&s brought from Camden
to relate the details of an alleged
confession made by Boyd while he
was behind the bars at that point.
The negro gave damaging testimony
against Boyd after being remnided of
the seriousness of the situation.
Boyd took the stand in his own behalf
and denied any wrongdoing. He
declared that he was mending a plow
and was trying to take a bolt from
the little girl when she screamed. He |
said another negro on the farm frightened
him and caused him to leave the
j scene.
' The jury deliberated a short time
\ and brought in a verdict of guilty.
Boyd stood before the judge and
stared at him while he read the death
sentence. The negroe's eyes never
blinked and he stood motionless
throughout the ordeal. The negro
was hurriedly taken away after the
sentence had been pronounced.
Courting in Old Folks' H' me.
Holding hands and other love-making
gallantry by the aged inmates of
the Methodist Old Persons' Home at
Chicago is reported one of the greatest
worries of its troubled matron.
Why worry when these persons have
reached the age of discretion? The
situation is not so silly as it is pathetic.
