THE REMOVAL 10 THE JAIL.
About three o'clock, or little latte. u
hack was driven up TO the City Hall, and
| Deputy Sheriff Garden told the girl the
time for her removal had come. She was
wrapped in a quilt and carried 20 the hack,
in which she was made as comfortable as
possible, and was driven up EOff street 10
the Jail, where she was carried inside and
placed in a room on the second floor. There
she will remain for the present.
Yesterday afternoon Chief Dclbrugge
stated that he had not been actuated by
mercinary motive in keeping the girl in
custody ut his Office, but that it was in
response 10 her own requests, that she
might communicate with her friends. SO
far from taking money from her, he had Of
fered her money at various times She
had pleaded hard not TO be sent TO Jail He
and his men had been uniformly kind 10
her Officer Shorts said it was true that a
mistake had been made in keeping the girl
at the City Hall, but that it was an error
brought about by kindness, and ought to be
so regarded by the public. She had pro-
tested so emphatically against being sent to
Jail, and had plead so piteously for delay,
that time had been allowed to run on He
admitted, however. that there had been
talk about money; that the girl had said she
could command $500 in an hour, and that
she had said a "high-up' Pittsburgher
would pay 5000 or 5000 to get her out of
trouble In this connection the following
telegram is Interesting:
