Wilmington, April 26—Robert Southerland, young white man, was jailed today on a charge of assault on a white girl to the extent of making improper proposals to a six-year-old girl. Her father, S.F. Hook, had been fined a penny in recorder’s court for assaulting Southerland. The young man was unable to raise the required bond and is in jail.
Southerland, according to evidence brought out at the trial of Hook, was identified by the child. Her father immediately attacked him, administering a terrible beating in the youth.
