Supreme Court of Iowa May 8, 1900 (State v. Worthen)

Ladd, J.

1 A man’s hand on the person of Grace Fort awakened her at one o’clock in the nighttime of June 6, 1898. She was prevented from screaming by the other hand covering her mouth, and was told to keep still. As soon as she was able to call for help', the intruder left the house through the doors, which were open.
