NWo%eo hC Learn Of F1eT ESCdPdn- An article recently appeared in the i Chicago Irter-Ocean concerning Pearl Hart. who was rece1tiY par,led by | Governor Brodie from the penitentiary | at Yuma. Excepting for the state ] ment that she was in the prison at this | city, the article is true. The dispatch purported to come from Toledo, Ohio, > the former home of the girl and was substantially as follows: The release on parole of the fam ous woman bandit. Pearl Hart, from the peniterIary at Phoenix. Arizona. has only added fuel to the fire of curi- osity that has smoldered il the public mind for several years. That the wo- man was born and raised in Toledo has been well known for some time and that her mother and sister live here has also been made public but the Identity Of these two women has been carefully kept secret But ac- ccrding to the story that is just com ing to the surface, Pearl Hart. the wcman bandit, will ere long not be so much Of mystery as she has been for some years.
 It is matter of general knowledge that among her other deeds that gain ed her no little unpleasant notoriety, the stage robbery in Arizona three years ago was her undoing. With Joe Boot one Of the most desperate Of western highwaymen she held up a stage between Florence and Globe in typical Dick Turpin style. Pearl, as she calls herself, kept a rife leveled upon he passengers of the stage. while Boot relieved them of their val uables

Under the laws Of the com monTealth. she car, leave the terri tory. but il is said that her relatives here have already gone west for at least. 9 brief sojourn. if not to make their permanent home. providing the woman is willing to settle down and live the commonplace and peaceable life of mother and sister. both of whom are widows, the mother for the second time According to the best information here. the girls name was Caroline Hartwell, and she is about 31 years Of age. She was educated in the Toledo schools and has a fairly good knowledge of the studies taught in the city high schools. She finally elopeC with 2 man by the name of Baldwin Dick Baldwin they called him, and h. was devil may care sort of fellow with just enough dash and ginge about him to win a girl like Caroline Hartwell.
 They remained at the family hom' for a time and Baldwin, who had beer connected with a railroad surveyin; corps. appeared to lose a never yer. strong desire to perform any labor Ir fact he concluded he had a goot thing and decided to make the best O it. The death of her father soon afte disarranged their plans and the felloJ finally went to work with a construC ten gang for the Michigan Centra road
