Show ACT OF A FROM WHICH A LITTLE WHITE GIRL MAY DIE revolting crime that puzzles the police and the doctors of ogdan from thursdays standard one 0 the most dastardly outrages ever committed in the criminal annals of ogden has just come to light brought out by the serious illness of the two and one halt year oid baby daughter of mr and sirs james cole residing on twenty fourth street between grant and lincoln avenues the little one lies at deaths door her tiny body reeking with a loathsome disease contributed to her according to the police and the little girl her salt by a negro the details of the case disgusting to print and makeup make up one qt the most abhorrent cases ever called to the attention ot the police tho child Is the daughter of jamas cole porter at the st louis beer hall and resides on hudson avenue five of the leading physicians of ogden had examined her and at first pronounced tha disease an incurable one but later stated that it was less virulent than they had first supposed and that the child would provably ably recover the case is one of the strangest and at the same time one of most pathetic it grows out of an old time negro belief that a negro suffering from any venereal disease can be cured of the same by contact with a virgin walta girl the negro in question who by the way Is well known to the police enticed the little girl into one of the dives on hudson avenue and there committed the outrage A few days ago the childs body broke out with sores and an investigation brought out the facts of the case the police are in a quandary over the matter they are searching diligently for the black bauts but BO tar he has not been apprehended they are confident however that they will get him soon the abresi arresi of the negro though Is least of their they can get him but what can they do with him that is the question the very worst he could be charged with would be attempted rape and the intent cannot bo proved on the contrary it Is apparent that the negro did not attempt to rape the child what then Is tho crime there can be no conviction under the utah statutes unless it bo simple assault and that at best could only be 90 days and 90 the cole caso will prove a lesson to some of our lawmakers law makers or at least it Is hoped that it will here Is a black beast guilty of the most revolting crime imaginable and yet cannot bo punished under laws of utah perhaps some of weber coun tys representatives in the utah legislature would like to win undying tame by introducing a bill to cover such cases as these while every effort will be made to convict the black brute it is questionable whether anything can be done with him if he goes free it will be the most appalling miscarriage of justice that ever disgraced the state CAUGHT THE SUCKER boys had started out on a fishing trip two small boys had a painful although to the bystanders it was some amusing experience on twenty fifth street yesterday afternoon which will probably teach them not to carry fish hooks in their bats an express wagon had just left a trunk at the broom hotel and had started oft down the street the boys were starting on a flashing trip and seeing the wagon bound in their direction they decided that a ride was the propst thing accordingly they hopped on behind the larger boy got on first with the younger lad a close second but the latter had much difficulty in making good and the other boy reached down to help him they took no account of the fish hooks however and as boy on the wagon pulled up one of the hooks caught the younger boy in the nose with an agonized cry the boy released his hold and ran up the street with the hook still dandling in bis nose needless to say cihat put an end to the fishing trip and the last seen of the lad he was legging it for home and mother |
