EIIis Glenn In Parkersburg.
Parkersbnrg News.

!
arrived in this city yesterday after
noon at $3.50 O'Clock on No. 10, in Gus
tody of Special Sheriff Jude Richard
son. She was turned over to Police
men O'Neal and Weyer, who took her
to the county Jail.
She was no sooner lodged there than
at her request she was taken before
Squire Drennen. She was not repre-
sented by counsel, but personally waiv-
ed examination and was bound over to
answer an Indictment at the next term
of Criminal Court, for forgery. The
bond was fixed at $4,000. Glenn could
not furnish this bond, but intlmated
that She would be able to do so later
In the meantime she was reconsigned
to Jail
In order to prevent a fasco similar
to that which occurred in the Illinois
court, Judge j. NJ. Jackson declares his
intention to have reputable physicians
examine Glenn in order to decisively
establish her sex before an indictment
is brought.
During the proceedings in Squire
Drennen's court, Glenn displayed much
familiarity with legal processes and
particularly showed an interest in the
warrant scrutinizing that document
carefully.
Glenn is still attired in mems clothes
wearing blue trousers, gray slouch halt
and dark overcoat. She is of stylish
build with thin, sallow face, showing
visible marks of worry and illness.
She had refused food for couple of
days prior to leaving Hillsboro, and
steadily declined to eat anything on
the trip here, stating that she was
sick. She ate a fair supper last eve
ming at the Jail.
1t was not generally known that the
Richardson's would arrive with their
prisoner on No. 12 so that very large
crowd did not greet the arrival but as
soon as it spread about that Glenn was
here, she was an object of much curos-
ity as she was taken through the city
to the Jail.
THE TRIP FROM ILLINOIS.
When Glenn was told to make ready
to leave the Hillsboro Jail She either
actually collapsed or very skillfully
pretended to go into a trance. She had
to be conveyed to the railroad station
in cab. Arrived there she sank down
upon bench and remained perfectly
motionless for full half hour, while
the party were waiting for the train.
When told that the train had arrived,
she braced UP and walked aboard. On
the train she curled up in a seat and
covered her face and refused to say
word or be seen. Somehow it got
noised ahead of the train that Ellis
Glenn was aboard and at every station
crowds of curious people thronged the
the car trying to get a view of the no
torious person. Glenn kept her face
covered and the Richardson's respected
her evident wish to evade public cur
iosity
She maintained and still maintains
strict silence beyond asserting that
it is her twin brother who is wanted
here, not herself. 1t is believed that
silence is her one object and she will
keep it up throughout, no matter what
is done with her.
She asked for women clothes before
leaving Hillsboro, but this request was
refused, the officers wishing to bring
her back hre in the same garb which
she wore when here before.
Now that she is here, she will be
furnished with feminine attire. She
will also be placed in the female ward
of the Jail. She was placed temporar-
lily in the insane ward until a place
could be prepared for her.
There seems to be no doubt that the
prisoner is the same Ellis Glenn who
scmmitted the forgeries in this county,
William and Jude Richardson having
no trouble in identifying her. She,
however, persists in not recognizing
anyone.
IDENTIFIED AS MOLLIE UHL
1t also seems almost certain that
Glenn is Mollie Uhl-Rader, who form
erly worked for Mrs. Ellis, on Depot /
street, and afterwards kept store on
Seventh street and on the Sand Road.
A number of reputable persons who
knew the Uhl woman, took occasion to
see Glenn as she left the train and all !
unite in thinking Mrs. Uhl-Rader and |
Ellis Glenn as one and the same per-
son. They say that while the face is !
somewhat altered by time and recent |
confinement in prison, the form and |
general appearance is the same She
is particularly identified as Mrs. Uhl-
RAIDER by her walk, which is peculiar
to marked degree.
1t is an interesting coincidence that |
Mrs. Bette Cole, whose bank book !
was found in Glenn's possession, hap |
pened to be passenger on No. IL on
her way from Wenona, H., to spend
the holidays with relatives. Since
Glenn's arrival here the Jail has been
besleged with curious parties wishing
to get sight Of the prisoner, but no
one has been allowed to see her from
motives of idle curiosity.
