He opened a conversation with her, and in sisted that she should accompany him to a hollow, near which he had met the youDg lady, for purposes that cannot be here men tioned; also offering her $2 50 by way of in ducement. This the young woman indig nantly declined, and managed to get away from her tormentor. Yesterday the fellow met the young lady on the bridge, and again accosted her, this time offering her his gold watch, chain and money, to induce her to ac company him. The young lady ran away and told her father of the occurrence. He man aged to find Turner and endeavored to remon strate with him on his conduct. The ruffian thereupon turned on the girl's father and gave him a terrible beating. Turner was arrested and when brought before the court this morn ing the circumstances of the case were so out rageous that he was bound over to the grand jury.
