Another Case of Criminal As?

(Special to The Times-Dispatch.)
RQXBURY, VA., Dec, 15.-The usua!
quiet neighborhood of Qulnton has agnir
been thrown Into a state of great excite
ment. Handcuffed and tied and followed
by an armed poso to save his miser?
able life, was carried to the jail anothei
negro brute, charged with criminal as?
sault.
The victim was ono ef the most es?
timable ladles of New Kent county, the
young wife of Mr, Iva Gardner, who, he
fore marriage, was Miss Kate, daughtei
of Mr, George Tate, ono of tho coun?
ty's most successful buslnoss men,
The negro, Charles Wllks, tho vory pic?
ture of the lower bruto ' creation, 1;
charged with tho awful crime, which in
must pay for with his Ufo.
It has been only a few months that foi
the same crime a negro was hnngod Ir
this county, The speedy trial and oxocu
tion was thought to serve warning tc
all such, but it seems not to have had tin
desired effect,
The criminal has a bad reputation. Sonu
days ago whllo Mrs. Gardner was at homi
alone, tho negro took advantage of hei
lonely position. "I will kill you on sight,'
said tho brute, "if you ever toll yoiji
husband on me." Knowing the desperan
oharaotor of the negro. Mrs. Gardner kepi
from telling her husband until she wm
assured of protection.
Why the negro Is now living to brentlK
the air Is owing to the cool heads of tin
law-abiding citizens of New Kent.
A special grand Jury will be called tt
Indict the negro. Ills speedy trial wll
follow .
There are now no threats of lynching
ns tho lnst case assured the people of Nev
Kent that speedy Justlco will bo metec
out to all such.
