BY A MASQUERADE.
Attempt of Woman to Save Her
Brother From Jail.

Chester, H., Dec. 2.-"Ellis Glenn"
until yesterday believed by everybody
ITO be man, turns out to be a woman.
She was recently arrested and pleaded
guilty at Hillsboro, Ills, to a charge of
forgery. Her sex was discovered yes
terday when she was taken to prison.
Miss Glenn says that the offense she
was sent to prison for was committed
by a twin brother from whom she could
not be distinguished when in mans at
tire; that she met him in Paducah, KY,
changing clothes with him, that he
might escape; that she resembled him
so strongly that she deceived acquaint-
ances, and even deceived the girl that
he was to marry.
The woman stood the ordeal of cross
examination. She did not appear dis
concerted by the questioning of the
wardens or the gaze of the throng of
officers surrounding her.
my brothers name is Ebert Glenn
and my name is Ellis Miss Glenn said.
I'VE are twins and We're born in Ash
tabula, Ohio, 3S years ago. The re-
semDlance between us was so marked
that our friends and our own relatives
We're puzzled to distinguish between us
when we We're children in the, same
clothes. AS we grew older, however.
and adopted the habiliments of our re-
spective sexes, there was no such diff
Guilty, although in form and feature and
general complexion the same startling
resemblance continued. I have photo
graphs of myself and brother at home,
taken in Texas two. years ago, which
will bear out my statements.
About 10 years ago l went to Texas
and settled on a cattle ranch about so
miles from Greenville, that state. My
brother drifted about the country and
about six years ago he obtained en-
ployment as a private detective with an
agency at For Worth, Texas. He trav-
eled all over the country in his capacity
as a detective and at the time he was
in Hillsboro and vicinity in the guise
of sewing machine agent he was real
ly working under cover as a detective.
When the officers arrested me as
Ellis Glenn in mistake for my brother
| did not attempt to reveal my true
| identity for weighty reasons. During
| my conversations with Gilbert he had
| told me he saw no hope of escaping
| conviction for the forgery of the note
| at Hillsboro, and he said he had de-
| clded as soon as he obtained some
money to return and stand trial on the
| charge.
| When I realized that my brother
| was determined to return for trial l
begged, pleaded and insisted that l
| should take his place and suffer the
| punishment for the crime, as we both
| DeileVed there was no chance for him
to escape conviction. I finally persuad-
| ded MN to let me take this step when
| ever we saw that his arrest was immi-
| nent. Accordingly. when l was arrest
| ed, l made no denial of my identity.
| and allowed them to bring me back to
| HillsbOro.
| THAT is all there is to the story. I
| do not know where my brother is now,
| but l am satisfied he is not far away
| At the proper time l am certain he will
| appear and secure my release. I am
| not al all alarmed at the outlook, and
| even If the worst comes l will be sat-
as Ebert is at liberty"
