! ed as Lizzie Doe, tall stout, and
wearing eye glasses, gave the name,
Mrs Krebs. " When the plate with
the umbrella was brought to the office
of Justice Oglesby yesterday morning
one of the first things noted was the
name written on the package which
confirmed rumors as to the woman S
identity current the evening before.
She is said to be the wife of we'll
known railroad man, who owns nice
home in Northumberland and to have
been conspicuously before the public
on previous occasion.
During the forenoon a representa-.
tive of this paper called at the Jail.
The two women behind the bars learn
ing of his presence expressed desire
to see him. An interview followed.
The fair prisoners evidently had had q
hard night of it, They seemed hag-
gard and weary they had neglected
to fix up and altogether their ap-
pearance was quite different from
what they presented the afternoon be-
fore when they were doing" the
stores They begged of the newspaper
man to be easy on them. They were
exceedingly anxious that their real
names be kept out of the paper, should
these be discovered; they suggested
that if it were necessary to allude to
them in print that the paper continue
to speak of them as "LiZzie Doe" and
"Sallie Roe" and were lavish in their
promises of reward, if their request
be complied with.
They were asked how they happen
ed to become implicated in what was
SO evidently a bold aud wholesale
piece of thievery.
"God only knows" replied Lizzie
Doe" as she heaved deep sigh,
which was almost groan. She then
told a story, which is quite remark
able--if true .
On Tuesday morning accompanied
by her friend, she said, she left home
for the purpose Of visiting relative
at the hospital for the insane at this
place. She is troubled with bad
heart and on her way to this city was
taken sick on the cars. The fellow
passengers were sympathetic and help
full and a gentlemen offered her
drink of brandy. Hoping for relief in
her distress she thankfully accepted
the brandy. What strange quality the
liquor possessed she does not know,
but the effect was such as she had
never experienced before. The next
that she remembered the two we're
drinking at hotel in this city and
then all was blank to her until she
found herself in the Office of Justice:
Oglesby.
"Sallie Roe was also anxious to
keep out of the public print. In reply
to a question whether she did not live
in Williamsport, she demanded to
know "who ever said anything like
that, denying that she was from that
place. She declared that she was from
the west and was only east on Il visit.
She strenuously refused to divulge
either her name or residence.
Lizzie Doe said she had hopes
that her husband would appear and
act as hondsman to secure her release
OF this, however. she did not appear
over confident "Sal!jr Roe, how
ever, was buoyed up by no such hopes
In reply TO a question she shook her |
head mournfully and remarked 'There |
is no one anywhere about the East
whom | could expect to go my bail. !
Yesterday afternoon i Q. Krebs, of
called at the News
Office, explaining that he was the lluS
band of Mrs. Krebs The object of his
visit to town, he said, was to procure
bail for his wife and, if possible, for
both women. He was in communca-
tion with friends in Berwick, whom
he expected to meet hin in Dauyiiie.
Last evening it was stated that bail
might be secured today. 1t was Mr.
krebs who explained the identity of
the Harr woman
