Converse With Her.
PREVENTED BY POLICEMAN
After the Charge Against the Widow
Had Been Dismissed She Started for
the Depot Escorted by officer
AndersOn-HaH Followed Closely
and Endeavored 10 Talk with Her.

Mrs. Belle FarralI, recently acquitted
Of the murder of her husband. the late Fred
erick Farrall at La Plata, Md, and Eu-
gene Hall, a young railroad cmpleye from
Charles county, Md, who figured promi
nently in the trial, were conspicuous figures
IN the police court yesterday. Mrs. Farrall
was arrested Monday night, as exclusively
stated in The Times yesterday morning,
on a warrant sworn out by Hall, charging
her with the larceny. of a gold ring valued
at SO.
The warrant was evidently sworn out
by Hall because Mrs. Farrall would not
allow him to visit her when she reached
this city Monday from Waldorf, Md, where
she has been living since the trial. Hall
made persistent efforts TO see her at her
brothers houseon New Jersey avenue south
east, and these failing he swOre out a
warrant for her arrest.
Even then he could not talk to her. and
yesterday in rhe police court she remained
in the marshalis office and refused abso-
luteiy 10 hold any communication with
him. He wanted very badly to talk to
her, and after the disposition of the case
followed her out OF the courtroom and
down Sixth street to the depot. Mrs. Far
rall secured the escort OF a policeman TO
the train, but Hall managed to get by
them, and just as the train was pulling out
he got on another car.
SHE CAME INTO OCURT.
Policeman Anderson, of the Fifth pre-
cinc;, who served the warrant, accom-
panied Mrs. FarraH 10 the court. She
entered the courtroom and took a seat
on front bench. but as the room began
10 fill with spectators, attracted by the
notOriety won by the fair prisoner, she
became uncomfortable and asked 10 be
allowed 10 retire. She was accordingly
taken into the office OF Marshal McCor-
nEick, and remained there until the case
was disposed OF.
Shortly after she entered the marshals
office Hall came into the courtroom. She
heard him outside and asked that she be
projected from him, saying that she did
not want to talk TO him at all. Hall was
not allowed TO enter the office and did
not speak to her while III the court.
shortly after Hall appeared he was
called into Prosecuting Attorney Mullow-
ney's office and questioned about the
charge. His answers were very myste-
rious To some questions he declined
answer and TO others his answers were un-
satisfactory and vague. Mr Mullowney
very soon came TO the conclusion that there
was no case whatever against the defend
nolle pressed
This was evidently not much to the
liking OF the beautiful widow from Charles
county, as she seemed anxious TO have
the case called in open court in order that
she might get the benefit Of a dismissal
She had 10 take the wind-up of the case
in that way, however, so she resigned her
self to the circumstances and smiled pleas
autly as she Received back her $50 which
she had deposited.
HALLS ROUGH TREATMENT.
Mrs. Farrall said that sB4---rnTn - Wasb.
ing to.s .-s.,ss-ei--Iy afternoon to do some shop
.-r1ng, ana that she had hardly been here
two hours when arrested. As soon as
Hall learned that she was in town he called
to see her, but was not admitted 10 the
1 house. He repeated his visit. and her
brother called on Inspector Hollinbcrger
and requested him to AID him in keeping
Hall from the house.
After finding that his efforts to see Mrs.
