MRS. SOFFEL.

Butler, Pa, Feb. 3. -Realizing that
she has ruined her husband, Mrs.
Soffel does not wish to bring further
disgrace and humiliation upon him.
She now desires a charge of venue
when she faces justice. In tears and
with piteous pleading she made this
request to Assistant District Attorney
John s. Robb, Jr., of Allegheny
county in the hospital on Tuesday.
She said she would go anywhere to
have the punishment meted out to her
for her disgraceful crime. She is
willing 10 meet any fate the law may
place upon her but does not want her
punishment administered i'll the court
house across the street from her old
home. She begged and pleaded with
Mr. Robb for almost two hours to
grant her this much. She begged in
the name of her husband, who is Mr..
Robb's friend, and told him her hus-
band was in no way to blame for her
conduct
Mrs. Soffel told the attorney that
she was not bad woman. She said
that while she knew she had been
charged with a crime against the
State, she had never committd one,
since she pleaded that her act was
brought about through her sympathy
for the Biddles,
Mr.. Robb told her he was a friend
of her husbands and would like to
tighten the burden of his sorrow, but
could not make any definite promise
to her at this time. Mr. Robb was
with Mrs Soffel for almost two hours.
When she had finished her pleadings
Mr. Robb spoke to her about her case
but she was reticent and disinclined
to talk about her fight with the Bid
dies.
