Mrs. J. M. Baird, ahortly after 1 o'clock,
while the beautiful young girl, who Is
well known, having attended the West-
ern Heights School and was for some
time a telephone girl In Atlanta, was
standing In the rear of the little home.
The negro, who Is believed to be
named John Austell, 20 years old, 0 feet
tall, heavy and very dark, approached
the house that nestles In the wood two
miles from the West Hunter street c«fr
line and three-quarters of a mile from
the River street car line, from the rear.
Stealthily crawling through the under
brush with a long knife grasped In his
right hand, he approached the girl,
then sprang upon her.
Miss Baird was frightened to such
s degree at first that Bhe could not
scream, as she explained to a Georgian
reporter, but seeing the long knife
lifted over her head controlled herself
and called for help. Mrs. Baird and her
five other children, the oldest being 9
years, rushed out of the house,, and the
negro made good his escape.
