Ralph Safrit, 22-year-old white man of the Rimer community of this county, waived preliminary hearing this morning and was bound over to Cabarrus Superior Court.
Safrit was carried before ‘Squire G.M. Lore at the court house and his counsel, J. Lee Crowell Sr., waived the preliminary hearing. Bond was fixed in the sum of $1,000 by ‘Squire Lore. Protest to this amount was made by Mr. Crowell but Judge Lore declined to reduce it.
Safrit was charged in the warrant with an attack on a girl with intent to rape. The warrant was signed by her brother, court attaches said.
The girl was in the court room with her mother and other relatives. She appears to be about 14 or 15 years of age.
Safrit conferred only with his lawyer. If he had relatives present they did not speak to hm before the hearing was started. He left the court room once to confer with Mr. Crowell.
