THE GIRL UNDER fARREsT IN WEST
CHESTER TELLS A NEW STORY.

SAYS THAN THE OPAL RING IN
HEIR POSSESSION WAS EX-
CHANGED FOR A WATCH CHAIN.
CLAIMS SHE LOST HER ARM
WHILE WORKING IN A LAUN-
DRY.
A dispatch from West Chester says:
Mary Smith, or Caroline Giberson, the
one-armed girl under arrest in this
place, told a new story of her life to
Chief Jefferis, which, II true, may re-
suit in her release.
The story told by the woman, which
she only told after three-hour
sweating process at police headquar-
ters by Chief Jefferis and Rev. ]. H.
Chambers, puts her in a much bet
ter light than she has been made to
appear in by both the local and Will
mington police.
She practically admitted that her
home is at Atlantic City. She knows
all about that pace and admits that
she has relatives there. To the latter
the chief has addressed a letter, but
he declines to give out any intorma-
ton until a reply has been received
In the meantime the girl is being
cared for in a manner different from
the ordinary prisoners at the county
prison.
Caroline" admitted that her story Of
the railroad wreck was false in every
particular, and that her arm was torn
from the socket by machine in q
laundry in New York city, where she
was born and lived for some years. She
also admits that the opal ring found
in her possession was secured by hei
at Wilmington, and at the address
from which it is alleged to have beer
taken. She claims, however, that 4
was not stolen, but that she traded he
watch chain for it to a woman there
This story is being investigated, AM
If found to be true she will not b.
prosecuted. She is being held unit
thorough investigation can be made
after which she will be sent to he
home if her story is true.
In her new story the girls claim
that she was driven from her hom
by her parents and being withou
money was compelled to make her liv
ing as best she could. A couple O
years ago, the girl claims. she was
prominent figure in the younger SO
ciety at Atlantic City, and for a lon
time her services as a vocalist wer
in demand. She occupied prominen
places at times in the choirs of tn
Presbyterian and Catholic churches {
that city and sang at a large numbe
Of public entertainments.
Word has been received from WI
mington that she is not badly wante
I by the police of that city and the al
: thorities there have not yet sent a
y officer here to investigate the case.
T Miss Giberson" has apparently b.
come reconciled to her life at the Che
I ter county prison, but she has steal
fastly refused to make a confidant
any Of the attendants.
She occupies a neat and cheerf
cell in the woman's ward. and h
every want is being looked after
She refuses positively 70 talk abo
o herself and the attendants there kno
4 nothing more OF her than they d
when she was first committed to the
? care. She apparently sleeps we'll a.
= seems to be satisfied in every vi
: with her surroundings.

Nellie was contented but not happy
in her new home. Through the inf1u-

had full class of scholars in French,

IN were very fond of her, and tried by

changing her home, but the proposal
met with such opposition both from

abandoned the idea After her first
