Girl Insists Men
Abused Her
Goldsboro, Jan. 23—With prospects of a battle royal of the
best legal talent in this section of the state the court house was filled to
its capacity today by Wayne county people, among these being a large number of
prominent citizens residing near Mount Olive, to watch the developments in the
trial of Jasper Farmer, Sylvester Mathis and George Hopewell, three young white
men of this county under indictment in the Superior Court here for criminal
attack upon Miss Martha Outlaw, 15-year-old white girl who resides near Mount
Oliver.
Miss Outlaw stuck to her previous statement while on the
stand this morning, in which she claims that the three defendants, Jasper
Farmer, Sylvester Mathis and George Hopewell, carried her into the woods and
terribly abused her.
