The case of Frank Lewis, white of Stallings, who was to have been arraigned Saturday morning before Squire S.S. Stokes on a charge of criminally assaulting a Charlotte woman, has been postponed until Monday morning.
A certificate was presented Saturday morning by Dr. R.M. Gallant, saying that the woman was too nervous to appear in court Saturday.
Lewis was arrested Friday night by Vic Fesperman, deputy sheriff. He is said to have attacked the woman at her home Friday afternoon, after the man had taken lunch at the home, and her husband had returned to work. Lewis was reported to have bound and gagged the woman. F.M. Redd is the defendant's attorney and Col. T.L. Kirkpatrick prosecuting attorney.
