NEGRO ATTACKS GIRL STUDENT ATOXFORD, 0. Prisoner Is Taken from Town When Threats of Lynching Are Made.

OXFORD, 0., May 20. Miss Sara Louise Wilson, of Ft. Thomas, Ky., a junior In Miami University, was assaulted by Robert Burton, 32, a crazed negro, yesterday afternoon. Her clothing was torn, marks of the negro's hands were left on her body, and later she was prostrated by the shock. She was accompanied by Joseph Garrettson, of Cincinnati, a freshman, who despite the fact that the negro was aimed with a knife, fought him off and escaped with the girl. The young couple was walking in a lonely, unfrequented section on the outskirts of town. Burton was digging greens. Later, when Garrettson went with Marshal Sheard to Identify and arrest Burton, a fight ensued in which the marshal used his club freely, and Burton bit Garrettson in the hand. After Burton had been locked up, news of the affair spread rapidly among the university students, and threats of lynching were openly made. Mayor Hughes communicated with Sheriff Pepper, at Hamilton, and was directed to get the prisoner out of town as quickly as possible. This was done before a mob could be organized. Burton is now in the county jail. BUrton has served a penitentiary term fdr larceny, and several workhouse sentences for "peeping." Two years ago he was committed to the state hospital for criminal insane. The first of this year he was released.
