GEORGE BURKHART CHARGED WITH ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO RAPE BY MISS LENA BAKER OF RAYMOND AVENUE – George W. Burkhart, a young man about 25 years of age, was arrested last night on the charge of assault with intent to rape. The charges were preferred by Miss Zona Baker of 32 Raymond avenue. She testified that she is the daughter of Peter Baker of Greenwich having lived there for 13 years. She came to Shelby six weeks ago and has been living with her uncle Fred Baker on Raymond avenue. Last night she went to Stuckey’s meat market about 7:30 o’clock to see a friend and left there for home about 9:30 o’clock. She first saw Burkhart following her near Higgins jewelry store and she then walked fast so that he would not over take her. She says he increased his pace and finally over took her at the Main street crossing of the Big Four. Without saying a word to her he caught her by the arm and continued to walk with her. The young lady asked him who he was and upon being told that his name was Miller she replied she did not know him and that he should mind his own business. Notwithstanding this he continued to walk by her side and when they reached her home she walked up on the porch to go into the house Burkhart then pulled her from the porch and attempted to assault her, holding his hand over her mouth so she could not arouse her uncle who had retired. She finally pushed his hand from her mouth and shouted so that her uncle heard her. He came to her assistance and the fellow ran when he heard him coming. Fred Baker testified that he secured a description of the fellow and at once started after him. He met Roy Pettit and asked him to accompany him. He over took the fellow on West street. Mr. Baker then shadowed the man while Pettit secured an officer. As soon as Burkhart was locked up Miss Zona Baker was called and identified the man as being the fellow who had attempted to assault her. She was positive of it. Burkhart claims he was talking to Miss Jess Sharkey and Miss Emma Nazor about 9:30 o’clock. He denies ever having seen Miss Baker and pleaded not guilty to the charge when arraigned in police court. He claims he has been braking on the B & O running from Chicago junction to New Castle. He came to Shelby yesterday and testified he was with E. H. Hunter yesterday afternoon for about two hours. He says his home is in Crestline and that he knows George Greter. Mayor Long asked him if he had not been arrested in Shelby before. He replied that he had. That was about a year ago when he went to Peter’s, Converse’s and Crowell’s drug stores and asked for strychnine. He failed to secure it and was arrested and locked up until the next morning when he sobered up. Miss Emma Nazor testified that she had known Burkhart for two years but that she had known him by the name of Baker. She also stated that when she and Miss Sharkey met him on West Main street last night that it was nearly 10 o’clock and that they did not walk over to the depot with him as he testified. This seemed to put Burkhart in a bad light but he stoutly maintained his innocence. Mayor Long bound him over to common pleas court in the sum of $300 and he will be taken to the county seat today by Marshal Gates. (Headline of the article lists her name as Lena Baker but the article shows her name as Zona.)
