From f. J. Brumhack, who visited
Vinton on Wednesdav, we learn that
on last Sunday, fames Hayes, ot
West Point township, attempted a
crime, wnicn none except mosc as
sessed with demons of the blackest
and deepest dye, would be guilty of.
As Mr. Al. Walley was going home
from Vinton, he had to pass through
some timber, and when about halt
through, he heard the cries of a wo
man a short distance from the road.
He stopped and listened, and again
heard the cry. Help! Murder!
Help! He immediately put whip
to his horse and was soon at her side.
He found Hayes attempting to out
rage the person of Miss . Hayes
upon seeing he was discovered in the
hellish act he was about to accom
plish, mounted his Jiorse and disap
peared in the woods. Mr. Walley
said the young lady had had a des
perate struggle with Hayes, which
had lasted about fifteen or twenty
minutes, and wis completely exhaust
ed, and had almost concluded that
unless someone heard her cries, she
would be ruined. Fortunately for
the srirl Mr. Walley heard her, and
saved her from his hands.
.We have know young Hayes sev
eral j ears, and, when a mere boy,
he was liked by all who knew him
As he grew older, and his parents
had less control over him, he became
wild, reckless, and took to drink and
associated with only bad women and
men. liis parents have the symoa
thy ot all.
Dr. Hayes is well known in this
county, being one of the first settlers
after the war, and has made many
friends. Young Hayes left for parts
unknown and at present writing he
is still at large.
