the girl had assumed. She Ia the same one who has

INTERVIEW WITH CHIEF CAMPBELL.
The HERALD reporter then visited Chief Camp
bell. He was courteOusly received by the Chief at
his residence so Herklmer street. After stating
the object of his mission and expressing a desire
to understand the exact charges upon which the
woman Mrs. Myers was detained the reporter
sald-

Of the action of the police authorities in OBTAINING

OF the HERALD to clear this question up"
CHEF have for several days submitted with
the best possible grace to all that has been said
against me, and now feel justified In giving an
explanation an OF our course which am very sure
lic will gladly tell you the grounds upon which
the woman was arrested.
REPORrER-Wnat clews did you have to begin

CHIEF-t will be unnecessary and unimportant
at this time to state the means by which we were

1t to say that she not arrested until we had
established beyond doubt that she had been seen
in company with Mr.. Goodrich, and that cores
pondence had passed between them Of the most
Intimate nature. We now come to the arrest and
headquarters. The evidence already published
of her actions at our first interview should
be sufficient to convince the public that the police
pursued the only course open to them in detain-
ing her until the arrival OF superior authorities.
She stated. without explaining at that time that
she had been twice married, that
MYERS WAS AN ASSUMED NAME.
She expressed the greatest establishment that we

that an alteration had occurred there one night
