Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock
a brutal criminal assault was
made on Mrs. J. W. Camp, at
her home on Cascade avenue,
some three miles from Atlanta,
between West Eml and East
Point, by Joe Glenn, a negro
man 30 years of age. The negro
was captured Tuesday afternoon
by Lieutenant Dunbar and Offi¬
cer Robinson, of the county po¬
lice, carried before his victim
and identified by her, after which
he was hurried, to tne Fulton
county jail, where he will remain
until he is tried for his heinous
crime.
Mrs, Camp was in her'kitchen
attending to her household du¬
ties Tuesday morn ng, she and
her one-year-old oaby being the
only occupants of the louse,
when the negro walked into the
pea'efi I quet of the little home.
Armed with a single barrele 1
shotgun, the negro threatened
M’S. Camp with death if she re
« sted- and upon her offering re
sistance, she was brutally at
ticked and thrown on The flo or,
Pulling a piece of rawhide fro^t
his Docket, the negro tied it
aro ind her neck and drew it so
tight that she all but fainted,
after which he criminally as
saulted her.
The negro then proceeded
rifie the house, searching trunks,
bureaus and closets, after which,
he returned to his helples victim
i t the kitchen. Picking her up
bodily, the negro threw her up
on a bed in tne kitchen again
accomplishing bis nefarious pur
pose. His victim fainted and
was unable to say what direction
the negro took upon leaving the
house. An hour after the assault
she recovered consciousness, gave
the alarm to neighbors and the
county police were quickly upon
ee track of the negro.
He was tracked to a negro
house on the farm of W. F. Poole
and arrested by county officers
Dunbar and Robinson, who im
mediately took him before Mrs,
Camp. When the negro was
brought before bis victim, she
rose from her bed, exclaiming:
“You are the man.” Then be¬
fore bet purpose could be antici
pited, she seized the heavy re¬
volver of Officer Dunbar and at¬
tempted to shoot her ai^fo^ant, before
being disarmed, however,
she could tire.
A crowd quickly collected about
the little borne, and threats
agai st the i.egio’e life were
freely made, but the officers Held
them at bay. The negro was
taken up in the road, and here
another attempt was made to
shoot him by a man who ran
out to intercept the party, but
lie was prevented from carrying
out his purpose by the offieers.
After handcuffing and tying the
negro with a rope, Officer Dun¬
bar mounted his horse and forced
the negro to run along at a brisk
pace until out of reach of the
crowd, until Nesbitt’s store was
reached at the end of the West
End car line. After this point
v, i,s reached no further trouble
was experienced.
The negro denied his guilt,
claiming that he was at his home
a 1 day, but Mrs. Gamp, although
in a semi-conscious state after

BEAUTIFUL GIRL
ENDS HER LIFE
ill and Nervous from Overstudy,
Mary Stanford Commits
Rash Act.
Concord, Ga., November 14.—
Pnysically weakened from con¬
tinued ill health and possibly in
1 st ate of mental aberration when
the deed was committed, Miss
Mary Stanford today ended her
life at the home in this city of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. J,
Stanford,
She was hardly more than a
child, being but 15 years of age,
and on yesterday complained to
her teacher of feeling very
badly. This morning on leaving
the house for school, she protest¬
ed that she felt so badly she
teared she could not spend the
whole day at her studies. Short¬
ly afterw aids'she returned to the
house and fired a bullet into her
brain.
The family is a prominent one
in this section, and the death of
tin? young girl is sincerely la¬
mented, She was bright and at¬
tractive and a universal favorite
among her playmates. She had
been ill for some time, and her
persistence in her studies had
further endangered her fragile
health.
IL r father is a wealthy citizen
of 1 l(i'vseciit;ii;.an‘l the owner of
several large f irms. Her broth¬
er, Henry K. Stanford, is a \fell
known and popular young man of
Atlanta, holding the position of
market re pqrter on The Consti
tution. ,
