In Baltimore.

The express arrived at Union Station
at 5:23 O'Clock. Sheriff Mason was on
hand to see that all had gone well. He
raised his hat as Mrs. Irwin approached,
and took her in charge, while the deputy
went off to see about her. baggage.
The woman was dressed almost ex-
actly as when she was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty in the courtroom at
La Plata little more than a month ago.
There was the same black cloth sailor hat.
the same ruffled black cape, and the same
sombre-hued dress. She looked as if the
confinement in prison had done her no
physical harm. She was StouUer, IL any
thing. and her face seemed fuller, but
quite pale. Her manner was subdued, as
il has been ever since her arrest.
Sheriff Mason sat with her in the la
dies waitiug-room for five or ten min
utes, until Deputy Armstrong returned.
In that time scarcely half dozen per
sons at the station were aware of her
presence. She paid no attention TO the
scrutinizinG glances turned upon her.
on reaching the main entrance of the
depot Sheriff Mason left Mrs. Irwin, who
then walked down Charles street with
Armstrong. They entered Streets drug
store. at the corner of Mount Royal avenue
where Mrs. Irwin bought a quantity Of
letter paper and dozen 1-cent stamps.
Having completed the purchase. the couple
crossed the street and took a Blue Line
cable car. There was no one aboard who
knew her except three ne wspaper men.

At the Jail.

At tile corner OF Calvert and Madison
streets Mrs. Irwin and the deputy alighted
and walked the three blocks to the city
Jail, the big gong announcing their arrival
just at O'Clock. They were at once
shown TO Warden Bailey's office. The war
den had not been notified officially of the
woman's coming but had heard a report to
that effect less than an hour before. He
assured her that she would be made as COM
Portable as possible under the circumstances,
and Mrs. Irwin was then shown tothe female
department and given in charge of Mrs.
Reed, the matron. She was placed in cell
No. IL.
Mrs. Irwin would not speak Of her case,
saying that she had been told by ner counsel
not to talk.

Baltimore, Jan. I3-Mrs. Emma Irwin,
who is to be tried in the criminal court OF
Baltimore on next Monday, charged with
being an accessory to the murder OF her
husband. James j. Irwin, at Aliens Fresh,
Charles county, was brought TO this city
from La Plata yesterday, and taken to the
Jail.
This step was taken in order that her
counsel. Congressman-Elect Sydney E.
Mudd and william F. Campbell. would
have her close TO them for consultation
in the preparation OF the case OF the de
fense. Although Mr. Mudd is a resident
of Charles county, he spends much OF has
time in this city while Congress is in
session.
Mrs. Irwin was removed here with very
little publicity.
Sheriff Mason, OF Baltimore city, had
been requested by her lawyers and States
Attorney Posey, of Charles county, to
lend his aid in the matter, and yesterday
morning he dispatched one of his depu-
ties. George Armstrong, to La Plata to
act as her escort. Mrs. Irwin was loath
to leave the county jail, where she was
quite comfortably fixed. and remarked
that she would rather remain there until
the day Of the trial. The situation had
been explained TO her, however, so she
regretfully attired herself for the journey.
Trip From La Plata.
The train left La Plata few minutes
after 8 o'clock in the afternoon. Mrs. lr-
win walked to the depot, about quarter
OF a mile from the jail, with the wife Of
Sheriff Wade and a Mrs. Maloney. The
sheriff aud Deputy Armstrong drove.
There were about twenty-five persons
gathered at the station to see the woman
off. but they were not allo wed in the wait
ing room, where she was kept until thetrain
arrived The trip from the county seat to
Bowie, where the cars were changed for
Baltimore, was made without any notewor-
thy incident. At Bowie, however, Mrs. Ir-
win was the target for many curious eyes,
and when the express from Washington was
boarded the news that's was among them
spread quickly among the passengers, who
manifested much interest in her She and
her custodian were the part occupants Of
an ordinary day coach.
