Harrisburg Illinois June 20 Herman Watson 27 living with his mother at Muddy was charged with rape in a complaint filed by State's Attorney Clyde A Whiteside in Justice of the Peace Thos J Cain's court. The complaint names a young wife as victim and alleges three assaults in her apartment on Raymond Avenue, with threats of a pistol and the couple's baby present. Watson identified by the woman and husband, alibi questioned, arrested yesterday morning and jailed after officers built circumstantial evidence countering his claim he was sleeping at Muddy. Sheriff Wilmoth noted Watson on two years probation for burglary and larceny in Peoria.
