in the case of the State of Nebraska
vs. Melvin Burgess, on a complaint
charging the young man with as

The alleged assault occurred, it is
claimed in Cass county, a short dis

car of the defendant was wrecked
and in which Miss Purdy suffered
injuries that still make her moving
about a matter of great difficulty.
The complaining witness stated

from Havelock, the home of the wit
ness, to Ashland and to Lahoma
Beach, a few miles out of that place
and had remained at the beach until
11 or 11:30 at night and had then
started back to Havelock. The wit
ness stated that one attempt to as
sault her had been made a short dis
tance out of Ashland and that in this
her garments had been torn and she
had resisted the efforts of the de
fendant. After passing, through
Greenwood the defendant had again
renewed his attentions and had been
resisted and stated that he would ac
complish his purpose or wreck the
car, the witness testified. As they
were driving at a good rate of speed
in the Ford roadster the defendant
had grabbed the witness with both
hands and released his. hold on the
steering wheel of the car and which
had then crashed across the road and
into the ditch and wrecked.
On cross-examination by the at
torney for the defense the witness
stated that she did not recall any of
the circumstances of her being res
cued from beneath the car save from
what others had told her later. Wit
ness stated that she was conscious
when reaching the St. Elizabeth hos

denied knowing a man named Cham
bers and who had visited at the hos
pital in the next few days in com
pany with Burgess, the defendant.
Witness stated that she had met Bur
gess on the Saturday before the acci
dent on Sunday.
The defense offered no testimony
in the case and the matter was sub
mitted without argument to Judge
A. H. Duxbury, who held the de
fendant for trial at the next term
of the district court and fixing the
bond in the sum of $1,000. Relatives
and friends of the defendant at Uni
versity Place and Havelock ate to
try and raise the price of the bond
and until which is produced the de
fendant will remain here in the coun
ty jail. ' '

is the best amateur show have ever
