She is the woman.

|
| The mystery surrounding Emma Hobart,
the female arrested on Thursday for larceny
from K. r. DORIS residence last fall, was
cleared away by Sheriff Richter yesterday.
| By shrewd piece Of detective work the
sheriff learned that his interesting prisoner
was married woman, whose husband lives
at No. 625 Cook street. She has been mar
ried for eight years, and has four little chill
| dren as result of the marriage. Her hus-
| bands name is Patrick Kelly, and proves to
be a Woodworking man, totally ignorant OF
| the doings of his wife. A sister-in-law of
| the young lady, named Annie Kelly, who
works in laundry at No. 161 West Seventh
street, gave GLOBE reporter the following
facts about Mrs. Kelly: Eight years ago
she was handsome young lady, known as
Mary Davis At that time she was mar
ried, and has lived quietly with her hus-
band ever since. Early last fall Mrs Kelly
wrote to Miss Kelly at Madison, Wis, ask
ing her to come to st. Paul and keep house
for her as she had a chance
to go to work in the telephone office at SIS
week. Miss Kelly came up at once and
assumed daily charge of the four young
children. Mrs. Kelly then left the house
daily, but returned every night for the next
ten weeks. Shortly before Christmas she
told them at home that she had got bet
ter position with Mrs. Cross, dressmaker,
on Seventh street. A little later she said
she had to go to Hudson, Wis, on business
and would
TAKE HER YOUNGEST CHILD,
then Is months old, along with her. She
returned in few days and remained at
home until a week ago last Monday, al
ways leaving home in the morning and re-
tnrning in the evening. On that occasion
she failed to show up as usual and ON Tues
day her husband and Miss Kelly began to
feel uneasy about her. A few days later
Miss Kelly discovered at the laundry guam
tity OF underclothes which she Immediately
recognized as belonging to her sister-in-law.
She made inquiries and found that they be-
longed to young lady who occupied room
over the laundry. Being certain that the
clothes belonged to her sister, she went up
to the room occupied by the lady, then going
by the name of Miss Leslie, and there found
sufficient evidence to convince her that Miss
Leslie and Mrs. Kelly were one and the
same. On making the discovery she i'm
mediately went for Mr.. Kelly, and the two
returned to the room to await the recreant
wifes return. Before waiting long Mrs.
Kelly appeared in company with young
man. When the husband appeared, the
young escort did not wait to excuse himself
but walked off in a hurry. Mrs. Kelly, how
ever, assumed the role Of injured innocence
and
BLAMED HER HUSBAND
for locking the door on the Monday evening
which she failed to return home. The hus-
band tried to persuade her to return home
but she refused to 60, so he left
her. That, was on Saturday morning
last. On Tuesday she was arrested.
Miss Kelly says that since Saturday two
gentlemen and lady, who gave the name
of Miss Coe and said she lived on st. Peter
street, called to see Miss Leslie. The latter
tried to get the young lady's clothes, but the
landlady refused to give them up. She
thinks that Mrs. Kelly is connected with
three or four persons in her schemes for
''doing people up" From the above it APP
pears that Mrs. Kelly had several apart
ments in the city, as these are the third she
is known to have been using at the same
time.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. T. L. Rosser of
Minneapolis came over to St. Paul and
identified her as the girl who had stolen the
jewelry from her last fall. Mrs. Kelly, or
as she is better known, Miss Holbert, also
identified Mrs Rosser. The latter asked,
''Do you know me?" The young lady said,
eyes, you are Mrs. Rosser of Minneapolis"
At the same time Mrs. Rosser noticed that
the young lady was then sporting a gold
chain around her neck, formerly belonging
to the Minneapolis lady, and which had cost
the neat sum OF $780,.
