TWAS ONLY A BOX OF FRUIT.
The Cause of the Trouble Between
Jailer and Visitors.
Three Daughters Of the Good Shepherd Think
They Were Not Courteously Treated-Chief
Jailer Eadeler Thinks Differently.
The Daughters of the Good Shepherd are

The Daughters of the Good Shepherd are
mad.
They are not only mad, but they are In
dlgnRnt and the cause of it all is little
box of fruit that Chief Jaier Hadeler, who
is in charge of the somber building on
Broadway, refused 10 pass in TO McNulty,
the condemned murderer.
Mrs. 1heall, who is the chief spirit among
the Daughters OF the Good Shepherd, sent
a messenger to all the newspaper Offices
yesterday to request a reporter from each
to meet at room 81, 325 Montgomery street,
at stated hour.
The reporters met there and there met
Mrs. Theal and two other Daughters.
Mrs. Theall and the two other Daughters
declared with a good deal of asperity that
they had been very badly treated by Chief
Jailer Hadeler. who had in the most surly
manner refused to pass to poor John Nc
Nulty just little bit of mixed fruit"
why" said Mrs. Theall, her eyes fash
ing and the color mantling her cheeks, 1--WE
had the permission of the Sheriff, Sheriff
Laumeister, to go to the Jail to see Me
Nulty, and when we went there by virtue OF
that permission we were treated as il we
were"
Yes" interrupted one of the other
Daughters, lit was perfectly shameful the
way we were treated. "
Possibly" said one of the reporters,
the chief jailer did not wish repetition
OF the acts committed by the mob At Red
ding in consequence of the frequent visits of
women to the murderer in the County
Jail"
"Ab," said Mrs Thean, 'that was diff
tertRt matter, and We were actuated by an
entirely different motive; we were simply
moved by a spirit of humanity becausee we
believed and do believe that for the kill ing
Of Collins McNulty should not suffer the
extreme penalty. Just think of all the
work we have done. the slums we have Wis
tied and the petitions we have gotten up"
Yes" added one Of the other Daughters
"and to think that we could not be per-
mltted to hand in a little box of fruit"
The three Daughters talked and talked,
and the substance of what they said may
be summed up in these words: "Chief
Jailer Hadeler is not a gentleman"
Chief Jailer H2deler was visited subse-
qusntiy by representative Of THE CALL.
and that official, who does not look like one
OF those jallkeepers that are described by
those who write detective stories by the
yald, in very quiet manner told OF his
troubles with the Daughters of the Good
Shepherd.
at was simply this" said he. Mrs.
Theall and two other ladies came here yes
teTday and stated that they had some fruit
Tor McNulty, and knowing that they had
permission from the Sheriff to visit tile Jail,
aQMIled tneu. lney wanted to Tia I'd him
some fruit they had, but told them in the
quietest manner possible that they could not
pass any food 10 him; that il McNulty
wanted fruit or anything n the world in the
shape OF food, he can have it, but that |
would not allow any one to hand him any
thing to eat.
Mrs. Theall, who is an extremely posi-
tive woman, said some sharp things, and l
told her that there was no use of getting eX-
cited. The other ladies were quiet enough
Then they expressed desire to see McNulty,
and L granted them permission TO do so, al
lowing them to remain in the cell for thirty
five minutes, in the presence of two jailers,
and then told them that their time was up.
i treated them with the utmost eivility, and
because l would not permit them TO give
dainties TO a condemned man, they think
I'm brute.
when / am In charge OF man on whom
the death watch has been set Will not take
any chanceg. But, I'll you what" added
the chief jaler," Mrs. TAealI would like to
see me out Of this place, because on one oe-
casion l refused to receive any instructions
from her 10 regard TO the manner / should
run the jail
why did you not suggest that she be ap-
pointed deputy and take charger" was
asked.
The chief jaIer did no. answer, bat
smile rested on his lips when one of the
deputies who was present remarked, "We
can't talk to a woman as we can to a man."
