STARVING ON THE STREET.
A Poor but Proud Woman Who Tainted
Away From Lack of Food.

Poor but Proud Woman Who Tainted
Away From Lack of Food.
The central station sheltered a homeless
and friendless woman a night or two ago
who was starving TO death rather than beg
for food.
The unfortunate woman was Margaret
Jones, aged 40 years, says the Pittsburg
Press. She opened the door of the police
station about o'clock. but did not have the
courage to enter until Sergeant Metz Invited
her to step inside.
Her manner and appearance convinced
the officer that she was not one of the class
usually found at the police stations. When
after much hesitation and stammering she
asked If she could remain in the station all
night, Sergeant Metz turned her over to
MatTon Brennan des pite the fact that lOdg-
ers are seldom taken OF Saturday night
The woman was shown to the second floor
and given sleeping quarters When told
that she could retire at any time that she
wished the woman dropped on the bed ap-
par emily unconscious. As there was not
the slightest indication that the woman had
been drinking MatrOn Brennan became
alarmed and called one of the officers to her
assistance.
Inspector McKelyey was in the station at
the time, and went urstairs. He succeeded
in arousing the woman, but at first the
only reply She would make to any of the
well, but would be better soon. Ths In
SpectUr insisted upon definite answer, and
at last the woman exclaimed: " suppose
my weakness is due to hunger more than
anything else" When further pressed she
said she came to this city from Ford City,
hoping to obtain some employment here.
Her efforts were unsuccessful, although
she tried many places to find something to
do. On Thursday, when the streets were
crowded with people carrying Christmas
presents and provisions for Christmas
dinner, the last cent of her small capital
was paid out for supper Her room rent
was paid in advance, aud she remained
there all day on Christmas without any
food. Later, she made another effort to
find employment, but was too weak to do
much walking. When night came, without
any hope of earning enough money for
food, she became desperate from ex-
haustion and applied to the police for
shelter When asked why she did not tell
the people at the clearinghouse of her
condition. she replied that she would rather
die than beg.
1t was only by close questioning that her
story was learned. Even then she did not
ask for food, but Inspector McKelvey had
ordered supper, and had the satisfaction Of
seeing her eniOV it,

lie As Said to Have betrayed the Glen

From st. Louis comes the news that a
sensation is still concealed in the inside
story Of the Glendale train robbery. 1t is
enyeloped in the form or rather identity of
a member of the band who betrayed his

Out of the six men concerned i'll the Glen

been given out One OF the others, whose
name Is concealed, is the man who betrayed
his coufederateS 10 the st. Louis police.
There are various reasons for believing that
Charles Clark, alias Coleman, a safe blower,
known from Canada to Mexico, was the
leader in the daring robbery. More than
this il is asserted that it was he who gave
the officers the straight tip" He was
seen in st. Louis during the many safe
burglaries there just before the Glendale
