LLOYD GOLDEN ARRESTED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE

Accused of Attempted Rape by Two Young Girls of Brooklyn Village

While fleeing from the Saline officers Lloyd Golden was arrested on the State road the other side of Pittsfield Junction Saturday forenoon by Deputy Sheriff Bert Gillen, who had been not!fled from Saline that Golden had escaped. The prisoner is charged with attempted rape, his alleged victims being two young girls of Brooklyn.

At an early hour Saturday Officer Rogers, of Saline, was notified by the Brooklyn authorities that a warrant had been issued for Golden's arrest, charging him with attempted rape and that when he had heard of the issuing of the warrant he had skipped out. Officer Rogers found Golden in Saline and placed him under arrest.

In company with his prisoner Rogers went to the depot to take Golden to Brooklyn. While waiting for the train, Rogers, it appears, left his prisoner while he went to assist in helping some men to raise a piece of timber to a freight car. Scarcely had Rogers stepped away from his charge a few feet when the latter took to his heels in the direction of Pittsfield Junction.

The sheriff's office here was notified and Deputy Sheriffs bert and Fred Gillen went in pursuit of the fugitive.

Fren Gillen took one direction while his brother Bert took another. The latter officer found Golden as stated above and turned him over to the Saline officers.
