Claude Bansbottom retained a verdict finding the young man guilty and sending him to ti e penitentiary b-r twelve years. The case created an immense aniouht of interest not only in this, but also in stark countv and the trial was vAU nded daily by large crowds of people. Ransbottom was charged with getting Fsther Sehrull away from her home under pretext of hiring ber to care for his sick wife. He took her to the house of one Morris, giving a fictitious name for his own n al name. Here she was forcibly detained and Ransbottom succeeded in raping hei. Ransbottom set up the defense that no force was used or needed to perform the deed. Tin' trial was conducted with ability on the part of the State, Mr. Houghton being ably assisted by Messrs. Marti:. dale and Glazebrook, while II. II. Bobbins defended. The verdict gives very general satisfaction. The young man will probably move for a new trial, but it is expected this will not be granted as the case was handled very carefully to avoid any grounds for a new trial.
