BRIDGEPORT. Conn. Dec S.-Tirm in
the belief that she is martyr in the
cause of woman's rights, Mrs. Mary E.
! Wright Smith, worth SSOO,O and more.
was yesterday committed by Judge How
ard J. Curtis to the county Jail for an
indefinite period in contempt OF court in
refusing TO reveal to the Court OF Com
mon Pleas the depository of $500 900 liz
Government bonds which she owns.
She submitted to the commitment with
all the iirmness of martyr, and even
after an hours confinement was cheerful

could force her 20 disclose the hiding
place of her fortune.
She Is the t.st woman to be committed
for contempt under the laws of Connecti-
cut
A WOmHn's Won't.
The litigation to which Mrs. Smiths in
oarccration dates back was begun about
year ago, when Orrin F. Daley. a New
York hat manufacturer. sued her for $500.
which ne alleged she owed him. The suit
was tried. and the court found for Mr..
Daley, awarding him judgment for $500
and costs. The judgment was not salts
fed
Three weeks ago Mrs Smith appeared
in court in response TO summons. and
the court demanded to know where her
personal property lay.
Il refuse TO tell that said Mrs. Smith.
II have the utmost respect for you,
judge she said, but will not tell where
my bonds are and no power on earth will
make me tell"
Three times since. Mrs. Smith has been
given the opportunity to give the court
the information desired. Each time she
declined TO do So
Then a writ of personal attachment
against Mrs. Smith was issued. The sheriff
made the service.
UHmovcd by JnIrs Terror.
At noon yesterday Mrs. Smith was on
hand. apparently as independent as be-
fore. Judge Curtis addressed her. saying
that she had been in contempt in not ap-
pearing on Tuesday, and asked the Tea-
son why.
1T was very stormy dav" she said.
and l did not feel very we'll"
Well said the court. today you
must either pay the judgment or tell us
where your personal property is, or.
obliged to commit you to JAIL"
Il will answer questions to the best OF
my ability" SAID Mrs. Smith. and went on
the witness stand.
Then, where are the bonds?" she was
asked.
Defcs the Powers of Earth.
Il refuse to tell, and no power on earth
can make me tell" was the reply of the
determined woman.
Again the warning was given, and again
Mrs. Smith refused to testify as requested.
Mrs. Smith, / will be obliged TO COM
nit you to jail" said Judge Curtis.
For how long?" said Mrs. Smith.
Until you choose TO purge yourself of
contempt; it will rest entirely with you"
said the judge.
Laughed and Ate Corncd Beef.
Mrs Smith emitted a laugh that seemed
to be mirthful, and yet without disre-
spect. and then said:
81 will not tell you. The bonds are not
in Connecticut, and you have no jurisdie-
ton"
Judge Curtis then directed Clerk Havi-
land to draw a writ of commitment for
contempt, and Mrs. Smith was taken to
Jail, and there she ate her first meal, the !
customary dinner OF corned beef, with ap-
parent relish.
