The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, September 23, 1908
DR. F.W. SELLS was arraigned in the district court this (Wednesday) forenoon
to answer to an indictment for assault with intent to commit rape upon the
person of STELLA HARTMAN, of Clearfield. He pleads not guilty and gave bond
for appearance. The complainant is from Clearfield and was visiting with
relatives at the time she alleges the crime was committed. She is a cousin
of MR. ROSS SMITH and was with them at the time. She claims that an
anesthetic was administered to her during an examination at the hospital
where she had gone to consult DR. SELLS and that the crime followed. DR.
SELLS denies strenuously any guilt.
The case will not come up for hearing before the November term. The
relatives of the girl, who belongs to a prominent family and has always
borne the best reputation, are very bitter and the community is deeply
stirred. Either the complaining witness or the defendant have been
irreparably wronged.
-- OSCEOLA SENTINEL.
