Towanda, Pa., April 22.—While Anna Barnes, of Luther Mills, a frail girl of 13, was returning from a neighbor, she was set upon by a stranger and assaulted. Charles Brooks, aged 25, was ar- rested later. He protested his inno- cence and said his twin brother was the guilty one. ‘Chis saved himfrom lynching and he was brought here to jail. He afterwards confessed that he had no twin brother. The girl’s father, William Barnes, to-day got admission to the jail and went to the cell of the prisoner. Drawing a revolver, heshot Brooks twice. One bullet struck him in the ribs near the heart and glanced off. The other hit him in the left wrist and shattered the bones. Barnes was locked up. The grand jury, an hour later, voted not to indict him and he was released. His neighbors are jubilant over the jury’s action. A true bill was found against Barnes. Barnes was accompanied to the jail by his son. They evidently plan- ned to become jointly guilty, as when they got to Brooks’ cell the boy took arevolver from his pocket and hand- ed it to his father. Barnes fired two shots through the cell door at Having on hand u large amount of idle money we are making low rates.
