Peari Maltby spent another night as
prisoner In the matron's room at NO.
station Pearl would have gone home
last night had She been permitted TO do
SO, III fact, she consented TO accompany her
parents home, but the matter had taken
such a couIse yesterday afternoon that
heI release from custody was impossible
last night
The Tact that she is temporarily
prisoner. however, did not trouble The
young lady apparently in the least. she
was bright, happy and talkatlve, ana iier
face was wreathed in smiles almost con-
tinually when speaking to those " ho were
permitted 10 see her. She was treated
more like guest of the two matrons. Mrs.
pennifil and Mrs. Mcleod, tnan as a
prisoner, and during the Intervals when
she had no callers, renamed quietly IN
the witness room reading her novel Al
which, she seemed deeply interested
Pearl is happy -go-luc ky-oon t-care
sorr Of a girl There is nothing vicious,
dissipated or depraved in her appearance
vet with single exception OF ie"
moments size remained Indifferent TO CIR
cumstances and her surroundings Durlhg
the afternoon her uncle and young iauy
cousin called TO see her she received
them as cheerfully as though she had
been III her own paTior at home, ana
with that same sweet, bewitching smile
which had adorned her countenance since
she was taken into custody She Is not
inclined to be moved by sympathy, pity, or
shame Her actions are certainly peculiar
and indifferent,
1t was fortunate that her relatives
adopted the proper course to work upon
the riUl She loves 10 talk and they con
versed upon subjects which pleased her.
Finaliy they worked up 70 the matter
OF hei returning home in such way tiIat
tb.. girls heart seemed slightly to;irhed
hy the appeal which was made, and this
for ire first time Finally she burst out
and said: w ell, yes, VIII 60 home and
yon can send for papa and marna and
have them come down here, but II they
don't treat me right / won't stay. that's
| al = She did not show any signs OF
| breaking down, however, but spoke Ia
calm tone, but it was something they
wanted to hear.
Immediately Mt and Mrs. Maltby were
| sent for and came hurriedly to the sta
| ton AS the gnef-stric6en mother burst
into the room and beheld her daughter
| for The first time since her disappear
ance sne exclaimed;
Pearls this my same dear little Pearl?
| Pearl, nv child"
-, f,H IN hnr 10
and, placing heI motferly arms about the
| giri, burst into flood OF tears. Pearl
| simply arose and replied, in a stoical
manner "Yes, this is Pearl-the same
| Pearl" but the feelings OF anguish were
not reciprocated
When the first affecting scenes were
o--eI they began to talk much upon various
subjects, the mother appearing 10 bear up,
and hard as 1t was, to make the best Of
things, while Tearl conyersed as though
nctl ing had happened In the meantime
| the father was seeing about the release
| or his daughter, but found that new
| col tingency had arisen to prevent her re-
| leas Yesterday afternoon Anderson and
| his attorney, r. Newton Donaldson, had
| gone To the trouble of securing writ Of
/ la beas corpus and had the same served
| unon Lieut.. Amiss, commanding him to
| produce Pearl this morning before Judge
| Cole, of the District supreme court. BY
this procedure and supposed sharp trick
on the part of Anderson he had delayed
instead of hastened the release of the girl
| The order upon Lieut.. Amiss was bind
| ing, and he could not permit her to 20 with
| out proper bail for her appearance was
| given This Mr.. Maltby at once started
| out to procure, but found that tie court S
| had closed and that Judge Cole and Dis
| trict Attorney Davis had both gone out
| Of town A bond could then only be given
before a clerk of the court, but by the time
| a bondsman could be found these had also
disappeared, so that it was midnight when
| the parents decided that Pearl must remain
for another night at the staton-house and
returned home.
District Attorney Davis was consuteC
| yesterday in regard TO the release of
| Pearl before the writ of habeas corpu
| was issued, and after an interview witt
the young lady, decided that she coulC
not be detained, but the police refused
To le: her 20 without the proper authority
Ii has now been pretty clearly cstab
iished that since Pearl left home she ha!
alternated between Enrichs h. < o
Hotel and Anderson's Fort Myer club
house in Virginia about a mile and u hal
beyond Rosslyn. 1t was that she nigh
remain at the hotel that her trunk was
taken to the Baltimore and Ohio station
and was Immediately carried across TO tn
hotel and is believed to be there at The
present time. Generally she spent To,
day at the hotel, and atdusk rode over Il
the clubhouse and met Anderson.
1t might be said, however, that Mr. En-
rich and his clerks deny this, and viii
| orly admit that Pearl called AT the Ayen Il,
hotel several days ago for the purpose
of seeing Mrs. Beckwith, the wife of
| Mr. Beckwith, Of Paterson, n. j., wla
had become acquainted with the Maltby
by employing Mrs. Maltby as a dress
| maker. and Pearl had become much at
tached to her Air. Enrich also admits
having seen the girl pass his hotel riding
a bicycle, but before he knew that III.
| c1rl had been found was positive that shC
had not run away.
AS for Anderson, he is perhaps thirty
five years old and has anything but
creditahle and honorable record. II ap
| pearance he is not such man as ever,
girl would fall in love with, but Pear
seems TO be madly infatuated with him
despite the fact that he has wife and has
been married for ten years. He is hardly
