One of the most sensational cases which will be tried at the two weeks term of Wayne county Superior Court, which convenes in this city tomorrow, will be that in which Fitzhugh Lane, Claude Sullivan and Parrott Cade will be tried on a charge of enticing Alice Rose, a Princeton girl, to a two-story house near this city several months ago, where they held her for several days, later removing her to a tobacco barn where, it is alleged, she was compelled to submit to indignities from a number of men. The men are now out on bail in the sum of $3,500. George Bass, who is a material witness in the case, is on bail in the sum of $100.
A Revolting Case
Readers of The News will remember this case, which came up for a hearing at the end of the May term of court, and of the revolting story which the girl told, of how she had been enticed to the house on the outskirts of the city and held there for two days, later being taken to an old tobacco barn on the same premises, where she was forced to submit to the advances of men whom were brought to that place, and of how she had only an old buggy robe to sleep upon.
Since the May term of court the girl has been confined in the county jail under the care of the county physician in an effort to cure her of a loathsome disease.
The case has attracted wide interest. It is one of the first cases scheduled to be taken up when the court gets down to business of the day, and it is expected that a large crowd will be on hand to hear the evidence.
