PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
Mrs. Charlotte Lambs personal appearance is
difficult thing to describe accurately In all partlcu
married Mr.. Lamb eighteen years ago. She Is Of
medium height. heavy bodied and OF a masculine
appearance with slight beard perceptible on her
chin. Her hair is dark, eyes gray, small and Keen
Her complexion is sallow; she has a receding and
low forehead and the lower portion of her lace Is
heavy and projecting. During her stay at River
Falls she was dressed In mourning and was closely
yelled when starting for her dreary home in the
Ellsworth prison. She has made no statement OF
her guilt or innocence, and is probably under in
structions to keep her later life sealed book, and
her lips as dumb as those OF her innocent victims
decaying in their graves. Concerning her
FORMER HISTORY
but little Is known, and that little is not calculated
to allay the suspicion that her past life may have
been criminal also. She was the second wife Of Mr.
Lamb and had been IN inmate of his family before
the death OF his first, who Is reported to have died
suddenly, as did young woman to whom he after
wards became attentive and before his marriage

str0ying Duchess OF Ferrara will be omitted. She
had kindly maternal instincts, culture and oduca-
ton. Charlotte Lamb does not seem possessed OF
either OF them-Only brutal cunning determination
