Several Witnessesm Testify to Seeing
Emailing in Crsnbury, and Hear-
ing the Statement of Little
Carrie Sherwood.
Charles Smelling. who is charged
with attempted assault on the little
daughter of Mr“ and Mrs. Frank Sher—
wood, of Cranbury. was given a hear-
ing this morning before Judge 11': M.
Lockwood, in the N01 walk side of the
town court, The judge found probable
cause and bound him over to the 11rlm~
inai term of the Superior 1ulrt. at
Bridgeport. under $1,000 whl1.. 1.1 was
unable to obtain and he was taken to
the Bridgeport jail by Officer Thomas
Leather-land to await trial. The at-
tempt is supposed to have been com-
mitted on Saturday. October 12th. near
the Allen Bette ice house. in Oman
bury it. is alleged that Smelling. who
is employed Saturdays on the wagon
of the New York Grocery Company. in-
vited the Sherwood child to get into
the wagon with him and ride home and
that after she had consented to ride
with him instead: of taking her home
he drove down the road to the ice house
and attempted the assault. being pre-
vented from the actual deed only by
the presence of a couple of boys. John
Welch and Hayden Wadhams
The court had previously informer]
the defendant's older brother John to
pr ocule counsel for this mornings
hearing. but he failed to do so and
the brother was present and acted in
this capacity. Arler the charge had
been read Smailiug‘s brother stated to
Judge Lockwood that there was no
one present of the name of Frederick
Smelling as named in the writ. He
said the prisoner's correct name was
Charles Smelling and the latterssld
that never before had he been called
Frederick. His plea was not guilty
Judge Lockwood. in view of the fact
that no counsel had been called for the
prisoner. gave him as much liberty as
possible.
The. first witness called was D11 1113‘

noon in question and. a little later came
the child. Shortly before he saw eith-
er he heard several loud screams fro
a child. but was not positive that they
had been uttered by the little girl and
neither did he see anything peculiar
about the appearance of the little girl.
John Welch was the. next witness
called. lie said that he was picking

house and putting them into the wag-
on of (lroceryman Burns. by whom he
is employed. when the, little girl came
over the fence crying and told him
that Smulling had carried her over
the fence and done1 everything to her.
Welch said that he had seen the New
York grocery store. wagon nearby un—
tied and without an occupant. He. saw
a but on the other side of the fence.
but could not see the body of a man.
The judge asked him why he did not
go to the fence and see who it was.
He replied that he was afraid to.
Hayden Wadhams. who was with
Welch, was called to tell his version
of the occurrence. and be practically
corroborated Welch. with the exception
of when they had met the child she was
crying. He was positive that he had
seen Smalling at James Toner's place
driving the grocery wagon though a
four acre lot separated the witness
from the prisoner at the time. He said
that f1cqucnt1y before he had seen
Smelling and knew him perfectly well
by sight.
Carrie Sherwood. the little girl upon
whom the assault was committed wad
put on the stand. She said she was
eight years old and was very positive
thatsbe would be punished If she did
not tell the truth. Prosecuting Attor-
ney .l. J. Walsh asked her what would
happen if she should tell a lie. She
quickly replied that she would go to
hell and to jail. The oath was then
administeled. as she was so positive
that it was entirely wrong to testify
falsely. The little girl is an excep-
tionally bright child and told how she
had got Into the wagon with Smelling
upon his offer to let her ride home.
and instead of taking her there he took
her down the road by the ice house and
When she began to cry Smelling told
her that unless she kept quiet he would
fire her into the “damn" brook. She

court under bonds of $2 000. John

said that there Were many discrepan—
cies in the testimony of the witnesses
and asked the judge to discharge the
accused. He thought that as there
were no marks of violence 011 the child
thene was every reason to doubt the
correctness of the charge. He said
the prisoner was a good worker and
had never been in any trouble before
and the present accusation. if carried
any further. would ruin his prospects
for life.
Mr. Walsh said that he had realized
the fact that it would mar the young
man's life forever and had been very
careful in securing evidence against
him to see that it would be correct.
Mr. Walsh said: “This is a terrible
state of affairs. it is a crime against
the whole community. Our children
must be protected."
Judge Lockwood stated that he had
instructed that counsel be secured for
the prisoner and this had not been
done. To offset the lack of counsel he
had himself seen to the fact that the
evidence be given as favorably as pos-
sible to the accused. “The crime with
which Smelling is charged.“ said Mr.
Lockwood. "is abhorred and the penalty
is a term ill state prison.” He. real-
ized that there would be a stain on the
character of the prisoner and also the
innocence of the child in such mat-
ters was destroyed. He thought that
there was probable cause for binding
the prisoner over so that how wpulu‘be
