see Helen Forslund was as large yesterday
ms on the day before. Marshal Sims had an
officer in the hallway near the bridal
chamber" who managed to keep q good
many OF the curiosity seekers away. Most
Of them we're women and If they were al
lowed would convert the gloomy little cell
into a bower OF roses. A white handker-
chief hung on the inside of the little barred
opening OF tho door nearly oil day. The
inmate OF the cell took it down for a few
minutes yesterday afternoon while her law
yer, y. W.. Kinsley, was in the hall. The
cashmere dress which the prisoner had
put on the day before was gone and there
stood "Charlie Miller" in male attire. The
dress did not fit her and the trousers, coat
and vest were more comfortable, Jailor
Rice expected that some women would be
at the Jail yesterday afternoon to fit the
dress and otherwise assist in putting Helen
in her proper garb. They are to be there
this morning before the examination beRins
and the curiosity seekers who will crowd
the small court room to-day will not see
Charlie Miller but Helen Forslund. Hel
attorney will not consent to hei
appearance in her boys clothing. So far ae
Helen ia concerned she does not care
whether she wears the attire in which she
became a knight of the road or the finest
Partisan gown that can be bought. Mr..
Kinsley says his client must have q hat, and
a becoming one, too. When she goes into
the court room to-morrow by the side door
the spectators may be prepared to behold q
stunning looking female who will change
some preconceived ideas as to the appear
ance of a female bandit. The hat will
partly conceal the blonde hair, cut pompa-
dour, and the bright colors of bonnet and
dress and other fetching touches, put on by
skilled female hands, will transform this
tanned, boyish-looking "hands up indi-
tive enough to melt the heart Of a stout
hearted juror. In such array it would be
hard to convince anyone that the
woman ever played the part she
has, but then there is her confession and
the damaging evidence of Conductor Rich
ardson's watch found in her possession
There is no doubt whatever but that she
and Henry Clark will be held for the
action of the district court. What story
the woman will tell at the examination to
day it is hard to conjecture. Some OF the
statements already made to several persons
who nave been permitted to converse with
her do not agree when compared. There
is a belief that the highwaylady
has not told all and it grove
out of the unexplained trail OF
blood found on Friday morning
leading through The alley from Eighth ave-
nue. to Seventh avenue. She says she was
at the mouth of the alley when the shots
were fred. Clark and herself fled through
the alley, but left no blood, for both are
unmarked. One theory is that Helen Fors-
lund had a lover and to save him she en-
trapped the low browed, pig-eyed scoun-
drel who was caught in bed i'll the white
frame dwelling on Ewing street, next to
the Alden block.
It Miss Forslund gets ont of this scrape
she thinks seriously of securing an engage
ment with some dime museum either in
Chicago or New York. She would get a
good salary and be a great, attraction us the
''only highwaylady on exhibition" inv
A. gentleman from Idaho called at the
marshal's office yesterday and asked to see
Clark, whom he thought he knew several
years ago in Idaho. CLARK stepped out of
his cell into the cage corridor and looked
the visitor square in the eyes. The caller
did not recognize him. Clark had a
part of a cigar md asked his visitor for a
match. He told Marshal Sims that it WAS
a little cool in the jail. A fire was built in
a stove near the cage and Clark went back
into his cell.
Officer Grogan felt very good last night
and his condition is much improved. sew
eral of his brother officers visited him dur
ing the evening and he talked with them
for some time.
