Clyde Lingenfelter,
Alonzo Nigh, and Earl Boring, three boys about sixteen
years old, residing in Hanover township, have been arrested on the charge of
attempting to assault Maude Fleetwood, the fourteen year-old
daughter of George Fleetwood, who caused their arrest. The
affidavit says they enticed the girl to the old abandoned church in the Hanover
graveyard, two miles south of Morristown, where the girl's mother found
her. The boys claim that there was nothing improper whatever in their
actions. All are of good families and are now on bond. Fleetwood is
a teamster and declares if the courts do not punish the boys he will kill
them. He is a dangerous man and has killed one man in Kentucky.
