In the presence of one of . the biggest crowds assembled In the police court room In some time, Luther Frasier, negro 21 years of age, was arraigned Friday morning before Recorder Broyles and was bound over to the su perior court In 15,000 bond on the charge of attempting to assault Miss Orrle Bryan, pre(ty 18-year-old daugh ter of Professor Thomas L. fcryan, of 282 Courtland street, Thursday night, shortly after 8 o'clock. In the court room the girl's father made an effort to strike the negro. At the conclusion of the trial, a great epowd of men gathered In Decatur street In front of the police station and the officers feared that vlolencb might be attempted. In order to take no chances with the prisoner, Detec tive Hergeant Lanford and Police Call Officer Dorset! transferred hltp Imme diately to the Tower, slipping him out of the station through the detention ward and out of a side gate, opening Into Butler street. The maneuver was successfully ex ecuted, the crowd In front of the prison having not the slightest Idea that the negro had been transferred. No weapons were exhibited by the crowd and no tbreuts of lynching were heard by the officers, but the slxe of the crowd and the nature of the crime charged to the negro, together with the present strained situation, caused them to be on their guard. During the progress of the trial the spectators crowdsd about the negro and the Judge's stand and It was ap parent that the case had stirred In tense Interest. Several officers stood In the crowd In close proximity to the prisoner throughout the hearing, pre pared to check any possible outbreak. Father Was Frantic. In giving his testimony. Professor Bryan exhibited much feeling and at one point It appeared ns though would attack the negro. As he toM of the brutal attack on his daughter the father turned suddenly pale and trem bled as though almost unable to re strain himself. In telling that the ne gro called his daughter "honey" und told her he loved her, the Indignant father made u movement toward the prisoner, but restrained himself from striking. The offense of Frasier was commit ted at the Bryan home and was one of the boldest of fho series of fiendish crimes thnt have of lute horrified and uroused this community. Pulling off Ills hat, shoes and trousers and hiding them beside u fence, the negro slipped Into the Bryan home, while Professor Ifrynti was absent, and attacked the family. Getting Into a bed room, In which were Mrs. Bryan and her two daughters, Misses Orrle and Erin, the negro made a rush for Miss Orrle, brandishing a shoe In one *hand and striking at her. As he did so, he exclaimed: "Honey, I love you." Rushed Into Closet. Rushing into a closet. Miss Orrle locked the door and thus saved herself. Mrs. Bryun and Miss Erin In the mean time had dashed out of the room and were screaming frantically for help. The negro, falling to seize Miss Orrle, then ran after Mrs. Bryan, hut she sue reeded In eluding him, the screams having by this time brought assistance. Another family resides upstairs In the house and these people, together with several neighbors, hurtled to the scene, the negro being captured before he could make his Escape. He wns held by the dtlxens until the arrival of Police Call Officers Dorsett, Hulsey and Holcome and Patrolman Bradley, who sent him tq the police station. Mob Hsd Gathered. When the officers arrived they found a considerable crowd on the scene and threuts of lynching were being freely made. Had the police been u few min utes later, the prisoner might have been mobbed. At once realising the situation, the officers pushed through the crowd and rescued the negro. After their arrival there was no further trouble. Frasier informed Judge Broyles he wns drinking Thursday night and had no recollection whatever of his conduct. Witnesses, however, testified that Frasier appeared perfectly sober at the time of his arrest. It was also shown that the negro had been seen loafing about the front of the house shortly before his attack. Professor Bryan was absent at the time at the Young Men’s Christian Association building and n few minutes before the negro entered the house Miss Erin telephoned her father. Fraxier Is osed to have been listening out- and to have thus assured himself that Professor Bryan was away. In addition to the charge of attempt ed criminal assault, Judge Broyles held the negro on the charge of attempted burglary. Militia Called Out .-at Midnight---Wild Scenes.

The Identification of a negro named Charlie Clayton, who la known "Troy," as the man who committed the assault on Mrs. Dottle Kimball, near Oakland City, Thursday, seems almost complete. After he was brought to jail from the Fort McPherson barracks about 1 o'clock Friday morning he guarded by parts of companies K. B and L of the Fifth regiment, state militia, until 8 o'clock, when the troops were withdrawn. Friday morning Marshal Ed Ryan, of Oakland City, brought several white dtlxens and negroes living near the scene of the crime to the Jail and took a look at the negro, yv.lthout an ex* ceptlon, they asserted positively that he Is a negro who was seen Thursday morning on Oakland avenue with blue overalls on and a khaki army coat over his arm, and who has been loafing In tho neighborhood several days. On the other hand, Frank Hughes, who Uvea about* a mile and u half to ward the city from the Kimball home, says that he and members of his fami ly are prepared to swear that between noon and 2 o’clock Thursday the ne gro was not away from the house more than fifteen minutes. The assault was committed about 1:15 o'clock. Clayton was captured about o'clock by a posse of dtlxens from whom he was taken by Marshal Ryan und County Policeman Wright and locked up at the Fort McPherson guard house. Upon request of sheriff Nelms, who went after the prisoner In the automo bile of Renfroe Jackson, the United States officers turned Clayton over to him und the negro was brought to the Tower In u sensational drive through n mob, which had gathered at Oakland City. Besides Sheriff Nelms and Mr. Jackson. Deputy Sheriff Daniel and Mr. E, F. McDonald, Jr., were In the car. As Messrs. Wright and Ryan W'ere going through the gate Into the mili tary reservation some one In the mob which had captured Clayton fired at them, but County Policeman Uurati knocked up the arm of the mnn with the pistol to make him shoot high. Within three minutes after the as sault had been reported, a few minutes after Its occurrence Thursday, Marshal Ryan and several others were at Mr. Klinbnii’H home, and within half an hour county officers and dtlxens and a few soldiers from Fort McPherson had begun the hunt for the assailant. Bloodhounds on Trail. Half an hour later C. R. Robinson arrived with Sunny Jim, an English bloodhound, and a short time thereafter had got onto the trail of the negro. The tracks which the dog followed cor responded exactly with footprints m*ade by the negro as he Jled from the Klin bale home. These showed that he had come to and gone from the house by the same route. The trail was lost at the Camp, bellton road, after leading for several miles through swamps and fields. At the road the tracks started toward At lanta. hut were soon lost, the negro evidently having caught a wagon. After the woods, within a radius of several miles from the house, had been closely examined, the men on the hunt took another tact. Olln Hendon was taken In custody and placed in the Oakland City lockup. Olln had told the officers that he had known the negro who committed the crime, and that he had been loafing In the .neighborhood for the past week. Ho said at first that he did not know the man's name, but Jater said he believed It was Troy. This Is the name by which Mr. Hughes' family knew their servant. Olln was taken from the lockup and brought to the police station by his ‘ 4 COFFEE DOESN T HURT ME ’ Tale* That Are Told. as one of the kind who wouldn’t believe that coffee wns hurting ine," says a N.

They were told that the prls. oner had been taken away, but they had to be shown, and several men picked up a big piece of stone nnd hurled It against the lock until It had been smashed. During this disorder several men In the crowd Bred off their pistols and kept up a regular full-grown riot, to such an extent that Marshal Ryan thought best to ask Sheriff Nelms for assistance. The sheriff In turn deter mined to nsk Governor Terrell to order out the militia. Troops Ordered Out. When Sheriff Nelms decided to com municate .with the Governor It was found that the chief executive was at the Bryan dinner at tho Piedmont, telephone call was sent to the hotel and shortly afterwards Sheriff Nelms went to the dinner and had a short talk with Governor Terrell.

The din ner was several times Interrupted by calls for Colonel Clifford Anderson and other officers of the regiment, but no announcement that the troops had been asked for was made and the diners were left In Ignorance that any trouble was brewing. The soldiers who could be reached started for Oakland City, but It was found that the trouble there had sub sided, and that they might be needed more at the Jail, where the Clayton negro had been taken. The militia, with Sheriff Nelms and several deputy sheriffs and county policemen, stayed at the Jail until-6 o'clock.
