C. L. Woodside of Charlotte and J. H. Potts of Greenville, S. C. "The basis of the encounter was the statement by Mrs. Potts to her husband that she had been approached by Mr. Woodside, who was a stranger, in a manner which she considered insulting. 0 "Mrs. Potts arrived in Charlotte last night on one of the early trains from High Point and waited here for her husband, who came in on a later train from Salisbury where he had been on business. Mr. Potts is in charge of construction work for the Southern railroad between here and Atlanta. "Mrs. Potts, who is pretty j and very young and seems a mere slip of a girl, not yet out of her teens, remained at the station here. According to h#?r narrative when she started through the passenger way to the exterior, thinking she heard the train, he made an attempt to draw her into conversation, but she was frightened and retreated into the building. When her husband came she mentioned the incident to him. "Mr. Potts, a tall, slender young man, clad in a straw hat and a Palm Beach suit, told the police that he walked over with his wife to where Woodside was standing and remonstrated with him, giving him credit with having made a serious mistake but warning him that he should be careful, otherwise he might get into trouble some day. Potts said that at this YVoodside began 1 to swear at him, whereupon the railroad man attacked Woodside j and there was a lively tussle for some minutes until bystanders intervened.
