Bouer waived examination and was

bound over without making a formal

Some testimony was -taken as a mat

ter of course. Edward F. Donley testified that the girl and Delia , Graves

came to his place and rented a room.

He said that later they were visited by Bouer.

The attention of Donley . was at

tracted to the roomers 'by the groans and cries of the girl. He said that , he

broke, down the door and entered the place. Bouer attempted to espe, but

was held by Donley, who . took him

downstairs and covered him with a

There was some difficulty In finding

the police, and Donley had one of the men In his place hold Bouer until he

found an officer. In the meantime Dr.

hope of escape from serving the pen
