JOHN yesterday morning charged with seduction under promise of marriage. Under the new law the offense is a felony, but the latter may be compounded any day before the filing of the criminal information by the District Attorney, if the defendant marries the plaintiff. The case was conducted with closed doors. The complaining witness, Angie COWLES, is a pretty brunette, 20 years of age. The intimacy occurred 2 years ago, and Miss COWLES claims that the defendant is the father of her infant child. The local interest in the case is increased by the fact that CRAWFORD, the defendant, is said to have become engaged to a lady school teacher on the West Side. Deputy District Attorney JONES and A.C. WILLIAMS appeared for the prosecution. The defendant was represented by E.D. EDWARDS and E.S. VON METER. The only testimony taken was that of the complaining witness, Miss COWLES. She testified in a very clear and direct manner. At the time the intimacy began, 2 years ago, she lived on a ranch adjacent to that of the CRAWFORDs, and she stated that she yielded to the blandishments of CRAWFORD only on the assurance of marriage.
