The young girl went Into the commissary and sold the man the shells, some candy and several ofher small articles. Thru it was, she says, that he ■hoked and attempted to assault her, but the screams of the terrorized vic tim brought her father running. The negro became frightened and escaped from the furious father into a bay- near the farm. The alarm soon ■ pread.
