The Carroll Woman Bobs Up Serenely
and Is Interviewed rs Soon as She Ar
rives.
Shortly after the 10 o'clock train on the
Bee Line road thundered up to the station

pronounced gait and carriage that was a
mixture of legitimate self-p0ssession and
indefensible swagger, entered the Lagonda
house. She was alone, and carried a small
handbag in her daintily-gloved hand, while
handsome wrap was thrown jaurtily over
her arm. She was richly dressed, and her
clothing was in good form. Her appear
ance was such As to attract at
tentiOn, and did not fail to do so.
eighty dozens of pairs of eyes watched her
as she sailed up to the clerks desk-cool,
self poised, dcbOnndir.
The polite clerk dipped pen into the
ink with flourish and held it towards her
with one hand, as he whirIed the reporter
gracefully around with the other. But she
declined to append her name where the vul-
gar and the curious could gaze at it. She
waived the register away, and taking a
blank card, wrote on it with a pencil in a
scrawly and characterless band:
Miss J. ID. Carroll,
Spring City,
Tenn.
Yes, it was Daisy. There was no room
for doubt on the subject She had come
with the defiant look still burning in her
eyes. The clerk assigned her to room "a.
A reporter sent up his card, and was in the
presence of the imperious little woman, who
has been written about till she regards the
Springfield press as an animated and hu-
manized version of salysilic acid. The
courtesies of greeting were quickly dis
patched.

with an expressive shrug.
Jessie ID. Carroll was admitted to bail
August 14th, George Spence being her
bOndsman. She is under Indictment for
grand larceny as the accompiice of Frank
Il. Jones, who is at present doing time in
the penitentiary for his crime. The history
of the case and the relations of the man
and woman are thoroughly remembered.
Miss Carroll is looking better and fleshier
than when she left the city. Liberty agrees
with her better than confinement evidently.
But her temper remains unameleorated.
