LG. WEIR SAYS THERE'S NOTHING IN 1T

Mrs. Jennie Marsh and James Mcintosh
are in the county Jail awaiting trial on a
charge of larceny preferred by Harry Fehl,
administrator of the estate of the late Su-
perintendent of Police Gamble Weir They
arrived from New York yesterday morn
ing, where theT were arrested, in charge of
Detectives Sol Coulson and Robert Robin
son. The arrest Of the prisoners seemed to
be unexpected by their friends, as no one was
at the depot to meet them. At the Jail
Mrs. Marsh was in rare good humor, greet
ing Warden McAleese with a smile. Nc
Intosh did not seem to relish the idea of
being locked up again.
During the afternoon Mrs. Marsh was
visited by her husband with the attorney
who will have the case in charge, but there
was no effort to secure bail. Marsh talked
with his wife for a long while. When
leaving he said: Now, you just keep up
your spirits and go right along"
Wanted Good Things to Eat.
"well, you'll send me something to eat,
won't youP'' asked his wife. L can't eat
this stuff they give Inc here" With that
she began TRADE against the jail food One
of the deputies, who was standing near,
said: "What are you complaining about the
food for? 1t is the same as 1 eat and find
no fault with it. 1t is doubtless better and
cleaner than you could cook. As you are
making such fuss we won't allow any
thing to be brought into you at all, so you
will have to be satisfied with what the
others get"
After this Mrs. Marsh quieted down and
returned to her cell.
At Marshs request he was allowed an in
terview with Mcintosh. As he ap-
preached the bars Mcintosh said, "Hello,
Harryp' which was answered by "Hello,
Mac" from Marsh. They engaged in con-
yersation for quite time.
A reporter asked Marsh and Mcintosh if
they had anything to say for publication.
Marsh replied: ''You papers have roasted
me ever since this trouble began, and 1
won't tell you anything" Mcintosh said
he hadn't word to say.
The attorney who has been employed is
making a careful investigation in the case,
and declined to talk until he should have
all the facts in his possession.
Flowers From the Sheriff.
At the Richmond county, N. Y, Jail
Mrs. Marsh made quite a friend of the
sheriff, who, as she left the prison, presented
her with a large bouquet of fine flowers,
which she proudly carried until she reached
the jail in this city. On the
way from New York the woman and
her companion were kept under close
surveillance by the detectives, the privi-
lege of sleeping car being denied them
The detectives talked to them and were i'm
pressed with the cunning they displayed
Mcintosh was particularly careful in his
speech. Detective Coulson said of him:
''McIntosh is a smart fellow, and if he is
guilty it will take careful work to prove it.
don't think ever talked to sharper per-
son than Mrs. Marsh" |"
Mrs Marsh hinted strongly to the de-
tectives that she will give away some sur
prising secrets when her case comes to trial
which will seriously affect those whom she
calls her prosecutors. County Commits
sioner Weir, when informed of this, said
he cared nothing about any statement Mrs.
Marsh might make.
''She is smart woman" said he, sand
is probably concocting story to tell, but
think my record in this county is proof
against any statement coming from such
person. If, as she says, she can produce
receipted bills for every article of furniture
taken from CANDLES room and claimed by
her am free to say she will astonish us
very much. The administrator, Harry
Fehl, who is making this prosecution, has a
few bills in his possession which think
will be conclusive evidence. No." said
Mr. Weir in conclusion, 81 don't care what
Mrs. Marsh may say. Her stories will have
no effect upon me. -
