IN FILTHY APARTMENTS.
More Battered Jewelry and Some
Clothing Are Found.

The woman who was arrested by Detec-
tivese Splann and Wilson for receiving
stolen goods was in Police Court yesterday
morning and answered under the name of
Anna Miller to charges of receiving stolen
goods and grand larceny. She was bound
over to the grand jury and her bond fixed
at $500 for both cases. She still refuses
to give the name of the man connected
with the robberies.
Yesterday morning she told Matron
Gregoire that IL she would be confined
I'm the jail she wanted her clothing, and
agreed to accompany the matron to her
rooms, the location OF which the detectives
had been unable to learn. She led Mrs.
Gregoire and Detective Thornton to small.
filthy rooms in a building at Susquehanna
and Wabash streets. A quantity of cloth
ing was found which is supposed to have
been stolen, though this is denied by the
woman. In a Bible was found written the
name of Mrs. Kate Wyley." and this is
thought to be the womans real name.
number of pawn checks were also found.
a picture of herself and man was also
found. A part of the clothing she claimed
for herself was identified as having come
from the home of Mrs. j. A. RUBBISH, 1850
Union street. More pieces or battered Jew
elry were also found.
The woman Is thought to be on the point
of yielding TO the pressure brought upon
her to reveal the name of the man who
she says is her husband and the father
of her three children She claimed she
was king in the office of soap con-
Germ and that she was obliged to do as she
did because her husband would not supply
her with enough money to live on. What
has become of the man and the three chill
dren the detectives are unable to learn.
The woman is Smooth" one. but now,
according TO her story, 1t appears that she
has been led into the trouble by lack of
necessaries of life, and this story is given
some cTedence by the detectives.

MR.. EMMETT WILL SETTLE
HE WILL REFUND THE ILLEGAL
FEES THAT HE RETAINED.
1t Is Also Understood that Other Ex-
Sherifs VIII Pay Back the
Amounts Claimed.

1t is understood that former Sheriff Rob-
ert Emmett is preparing to pay the county
what he owes on account of the retention
of certain fees while he was holding office.
Experts Bookwalter and McCaslin in one
of the reports they made to the County
Commissioners claimed that ex-Sheriff
Emmett had illegally retained fees aggre-
eating a sum between 500 and $1,000. The
same report claimed that ex-Sheriff
womack had retained about $500 of fees
belonging to the county and that ex-Sheriff
Shufelton was Gin the same boat" and
also owed the county.
The report was turned over to County
Attorney Brown. who after careful inves-
tigation of the law, concluded that ex-
Sheriff Emmett owed between $500 and $500
less than the amount claimed by the ex-
perts 1t is pointed out by the county at
torney that ex-Sheriff Emmett was in Office
under the fee and salary law of 1891 This
law provided that county sheriffs in addi-
ton to their salary should be paid travel
ing expenses in transferring prisoners to
the different penal institutions, and should
also have $3.50 day for the deputy, who
would be in charge of the prisoner. It was
under this law tat Sheriff Emmett re-
tanned large amount of fees which 1t Is
now admitted he is entitled to.
In 1895 the Legislature enacted a new
fee and salary law but neglected to pro.
vide expenses" and pay for a deputy. ir
the transfer of prisoners. Sheriff Womacl
served for about six months under the Law
of 1891 and the county attorney concludes
that between $500 and 5000 should be cut of
the amount the experts claimed he owed
EX-Sheriff Shufelton is examining the
and as soon as he has completed this worl
it is the understanding that he will pay
over to the commissioners all that Is due
the county. A. A. Womack will also pay
Messrs Bookwalter and McCaslin agree
with the county attorney on the interpreta
ton of the fee and salary law.
