BY the efforts Of Shrrwd attorneys she
was committed Ia that jail on u trumped-
up charge, in order 10 prevent the Clark

I in the sum of - 900, and aS the affair was
/ all cut and dried. she declined to hr re-
leased on bail and went t" jail.

A. she had the freedom 0t the jail prem
| iSes. and could receive her friends al the
| Jail whenever she cared to do 81.
| deputy Sheriff \. J. Baker. who was at
Washington for SOME time, offered I" pro
cure bail for her. but she was cute enough
! 10 decline all offers of that kind. During
all the time she WAS in Jail She
WAS watched by persons in the
employ of Mr.. Whiteley, and
the authorities here were kept thoroughly
pO>trd aS 10 the movements Of herself and
her friends.
| Six or eight weeks ago Deputy Sheriff \.
J. Baker wrote Ia her, telling her that II

To stand trial. She would not be Jailed. She
did not come Immediately, however but a

and in company with Major DuddS and
J deputy Baker, Miss Carroll was driven
/ rapidly to jail After having a short con
Sutatiun with her attorney, she
was left to mediate in a cell in
/ the women's department.
| About haf-paSt o'clock last evening
/ representatives of the city papers called Ia
See Miss Carrull. The gallant pencil-Sh"Ver>
sent up their cards by the turnkey, and in a
few minutes were informed that the lady
did not wish Ia See them.
1t did not take two minutes for the re-

/ be- seen. 50 with the gall that reporters arc
very generally supposed to have, they went
up stairs and raped on the grating which
! formed the cell door. Miss Carroll was
| lying on the bed, apparently asleep, and
| paid no attention to the rapS. Further rapS.
| however. caused her To inquire what was
wanted. That inquiry made an interview
with Miss Carroll a forcgone conclusion.
| In answer To various questions she stated
that, having been ON the road for nearly
| two DAYS, She was very tired. She said
that She did not expect to be thrown III jail

/ said Il don't want to see
| Frank Jones, but suppose
/ they will bring him here when | am tried" "
