sissippi of Muscatlne, was committed TO
the Iowa penitentiary from Jefferson
county September q. 1902, for larceny OF a
team Of horses. Josephine Collette, the
woman whom he claims committed the
| murder, is the woman who a short time
| ago wrote to Governor Cummins and asked
his permission to marry Nagle, who has
| been out OF the penitentiary on parole
saying that she could not live without him.
| The papers are mistaken in saying that
the Collette woman was ever in the state
penitentiary as there are no records to
that effect. Nagle was paroled from the
pententiary February s, 1904 and his term
would regularly have expired June 2, 1904
