Thinks Negro Arrested Attacked White Woman. . . Negro Known as Tom Haynes Arrested by Sheriff at Welcome, Davidson County

Salisbury, April 22 (AP)—Sheriff Krider of Rowan County yesterday afternoon arrested a negro man by the name of Tom Haynes at Welcome, Davidson county, suspected of being the one that on April 7 attempted to attack a 50-year-old white woman at her home five miles west of Salisbury.

The prisoner was brought here and taken to the home of the woman, and she identified him as her assailant. However, he declares he is not the man wanted. He was later taken to a neighboring city and placed in jail. The arrest was not made known until last night.
