Awaiting Report of County Welfare Officer in Charge That William Dilger Harmed 4-Year-Old Girl, Aug. 26, 1925

Dilger Hearing This Afternoon

William Dilger, white man arrested here Monday on a charge of assault on a female as the outgrowth of a swimming exhibition given by a 4-year-old child, will be given a hearing this afternoon in police court.

The hearing was scheduled for yesterday, but was continued to allow officers to make an investigation. Dilger claims the child with him is his daughter, and it is charged in the warrant against him that he mistreated her by making her jump from a high diving stand while she was giving a demonstration.

County Welfare Officer J.H. Brown has been managing an investigation in an effort to get some information about Dilger. He probably will report his findings to the court this afternoon.
