Mrs. George was seen coming across a lot
nearby. AS she attempted to go around the
house to get in the back way she was put
under arrest by the officers and brought to
police headquarters. When she was brought
into the station she seemed to be self-pos-
sessed. She was given chair, and one of
the officers took small cape which she car
ried and placed it on the table. Prosecuting
Attorney Pomerent. who was present, pulled
his chair in front of her and said:

swered in perfectly calm and quiet tone:

There was no answer to the question.
II will say to you, Mrs. George" said the

swamp to Tuscarawas street, and where did
you come from?"
Still no answer.

Not muscle of Mrs. Georges face moved
and her head did not move a particle to see
whether there were sany burrs on her dress.
This ended the examination.
Mrs George was taken into the women's
department and an examination was made.
Nothing was found on her. The skin of her
hands was scraped and will be analysed
to see whether there are any traces of gun
powder on them. She was then locked up
to await a hearing.
1t is common talk that Mrs. George made
frequent threats of taking Saxton's life.
Many of these threats are said to have been
sent through the mails. and the federal
grand jury setting in Cleveland last fall in
dicted her for alleged improper use of the
mails. Mrs. George gave bond and the in
dictment, so far as is known here, is still
alive.
Sample G. George, the husband, is now re-
ported to have been married to a second
wife for more thar = year. He is reported
married in Wheeling to Miss Lucy Graham,
of Alliance, and the marriage was kept
secret until after the settlement with Sax
ton AS soon as George got his damage
money from Saxton he announced his mar
riage. Mrs. George claims Saxton deceived
her and deserted her for another.
