l think it due to her that she be set

ought TO do that
The fact OF her real identity having

TO challenge universal credence, there
was reason why such further as

Wants Further Information.
Have you gathered all the informa-
ton you desire IN connection with the
casees
No: bat. with the limited means at
my command. ! am gathering other evi-
dence for use in her behalf at the trial:
but ii view OF the conditions sur
rounding her financially and her efforts
bic employment which she WAS COM
pelIed tc accept incognito. the task of
gathering evidence in this country Is not
an easy one. For instance, there are
two coiored boys IN this city whom /
should ike very much 20 locate. When
train. after starting for New York, she
had a eolored boy TO carry her baggage
TO the street car, and another coiored
boy to carry it from the street car TO
the depot; but Ii is difficult to get the
names and addresses Of these two boys.
whose testimony might be very peril
nent and material.
when do you expect the case 10 De
called for trlal?"
Delay OF the Trial.
Il have no positive Information to give
you on that point. The District Attor-
ney's office is quite busy now with the
Crawford case. which may take the bal
ance of this week So that the date of
this trial depends upon things beyond
my control; but the case will doubtless
be brought to a trial very soon now.
1.-THE most aggrayating aspect Of the
case is this: Since. by reason OF her
friendless and destitute condition, she
is unable To give bail. she must remain
in jail and under punishment. so 10
speak, during all the time her counsel
may take in making preparation for her
trial, and, in view of her mental and
physical condition, that presents very
strong temptation to suffer the trial to
take place before her evidence has been
made available.
s'It makes a choice of two evils nec-
essary, but. If bail could be arranged for
would not necessarily prolong her pun
ishment a much more satisfactory
showing could be made in her behalf.
She is a Swedish countess by birr
a German baroness by marriage, and an
Austrian subject by citizenship, and. If
the Swedes. Germans. and Austrians In
this city would come forward and make
common cause in her behalf. she could
be released from Imprisonment and be
made comparatively comfortable while
proper preparations were being made for
trial. Her bail has been fixed at 81 900
and the Germans of this city could make
up that amount IN twenty-four hours,
and there is but little doubt that they
would do II quickly and cheerfuliy, If
some one would take the initiative in
the matter. The Swedes and the Aus
trians would certainly help; but the diff
fcuity is TO get the matter before these
people without Fesorting to something
like a popular subscription
Woman Is Homesick.
THE baroness is quite homesick. Her
sojourn in America has been so beset
with reverses, disappointments and dis
asters that she is quite anxious 10 bring
