New York Times, 24 Jun 1884. "Louisville, Ky., June 23. - Saturday night W. W. JONES arrived at Bowling Green, Ky., with a 16-year old bride, the daughter of a wealthy farmer near Gallatin, Tenn., where the groom also resided. On Sunday night they went to the railroad station to wait for a train back to Gallatin. The young groom went away for a while, probably having been decoyed, when a notorious person, Pleas EVERHART, approached the bride and, telling her that her husband had deserted her, induced her to go up town with him in search of a hotel, saying to her that he would telegraph to her husband, but istead of seeing her to a hotel, led her to the reservoir, where he attempted to assault her. The screams of the girl could be heard for a considerable distance. After being released she made her way down into the city and told her sad story. The greatest excitement prevails among all classes. This morning Everhart was arrested, and is now safely behind prison bars. The unfortunate bride is of good family and unsophisticated. The Grand Jury now has the case in hand." I wonder if they ever found the groom! I can't find a follow-up to the story.
