DICKENS IN TROUBLE. HE IS CHARGED WITH A VERY SERI OUS CRIME. And Held to Answer to the Superior Court In a Bond of SSOO. DICKKNB SAVS IT IS “HI.AOK.MAII.;” Dr. H. T. Dickens, a prominent young physician of Norcross, is in trouble, and stands charged with a grave offense. Mrs. M. L. Whit lock, residing near Tucker, iu De- Kalb county, is the accuser. From the facts brought out in the trial it appears that the doctor had been treating Mrs. Whitlock for some chronic ailment. On last Thursday the doctor came down to see his patient, and told, her that he could not treat her successfully unless she would go home with him, whereupon she consented to go. After making some preliminary arrangements she got in the buggy with the doctor and started to Norcross, a distance of six or sev en miles. She states they had not proceeded more than two or three miles when the doctor laid his arm around her and kissed her. This greatly surprised as well as mortified the lady, and she says when they got near the residence of Mr. Jerry Akins she wanted to get out, but that the doctor put the whip to the horse and drove at a furious speed, and she could not get out. Further on, Mrs. Whitlock al leges, the doctor made an improper suggestion, and sought to use force, she declares. By this time it was night. Arriving at the residence of Mr. N. M. Lankford, she told the doctor she was almost dead, and that she wanted to get out and get some water. This, she says, the doctor re fused to let her do, but said he would get out and get her some at a well near the roadside. As soon as the doctor left the buggy she jumped out and rau into Mr. Lankford’s residence and asked for protection. Mrs, Whitlock is 19 years old and is rather prepossessing. She is the daughter of Mr. Hugh Mur rell, a prominent citizen of Brown ings district. Her husband is ab sent frcm the state, -Trouble is feared when he returns. The case was heard before Judge W. P. Lankford Monday at Tucker. Dickens was bound over under a SSOO bond until the superior court convenes. He denies that he is guilty. He says he only asked her pointed questions in regard to her condition. The case is ex citing much public interest, and will develop interesting features. The warrant charges Dickens with assault, with intent to com mit rape. He avprß his innocence, and says it is a clear case of attempt to blackmail, alleging that the father of Mrs. Whitlock has made overtures to settle the case for the sum of SSOO. He refused to enter tain such a proposition, so he al leges, and then the prfce was low ered until S2OO was named. The doctor, so it is said, preferred to have the matter thoroughly sifted in the courts, rather than to suf fer himself to be blackmailed, hence the preliminary trial before Justice Lankford. As the alleged offense was com mitted in DeKalb county, the case will be heard before Judge Can dler at the next term of DeKalb superior court, provided the grand jury finds a bill of indictment against Dickens. Dickens is prominently con nected throughout the county,and has relatives living in Lawrenre ville. It is stated that Mrs. Whitlock is an invalid, and has been for some time under the treatment of Dr. Dickens. DR. DICKENS WRITES A CARD. In Wednesday evening’s Atlanta Journal Dr. Dickens publishes a lengthy card, denying in toto the charges of Mrs. Whitlock, ascrib ing them to delusional insanity, on the part of Mrs. Whitlock, or to a foul plot on the part of her and her father to extort money from him. He says the full facts will be brought out at the trial in the Superior court and that he will be vindicated and his charac ter cleared of the cloud that now hangs over him. In his ca>d Dr. Dickens charges that Mrs. Whitlock’s husband is a fugitive from justice from the stale charged with cowstealing. Dr. Dickens’ friends at Norcross are greatly incensed over the mat ter and are advising him to swear out warrants against the woman and her father for conspiracy, and attempt to blackmail. S. A- L.

Wil son, and'Miss Cal lie Farr, daugh ter of N. G. Karr, two popular young people of Dacula, were mar ried Wednesday night of last week at the home of John G. Lovelace, Esq W. M. Langley officiating. No parental sanction of the union was asked, the young people fearing objection might be offered on account of their age. Secrecy was enjoined after the ceremony was performed,and the contracting parties went back to their respect ive homes, their parents all uncon scious of the fact that a nuptial knot had blended their ardent young hearts in unison to beat as one. But the secret of their union leaked out this week, and the friends of the happy- couple are showering their congratulations upon them.
