After being confined in the County
Worlxhouse for three days Mrs. Mary
p. Miller, who was sent to that insti-
tuition by Court of General Sessions
for nom payment of a fine of 500, was
released last night. the money neces-
sary for her release having been raised.
Mrs. Miller was convicted at the last
term of court on a charge of embezzle-
ment as bailee, the complainant being
Mrs. Madge Fegley. In view Of the
charge given the jury by Judge Spru-
ance her conviction came as a surprise
and resulted in a wave of sympathy
in her behalf.
Subscription Started.
In view OF this fact. Constable
Charles Barnes conceived the idea OF
securing the amount OF the fine by
subscription and worked earnestly un-
til he had accomplished the desired end
but one person whom he approached
refusing to contribute.
Mrs Miller. who was released last
night at o'clock, said this morning;
u want to express my heartfelt thanks
for the kindness that has been showr
me. especially to those people who as.
sisted me whom do not know. I can.
not repay their kindness now. but some
day / will pay them all back. AS FOL
Mrs. Meserve, never saw a more kind.
hearted nor sympathetic woman. anC
Mr.. Meserve, too, did all in his powei
TO cheer me up"
1t was the intention to make public
the names OF those who contributed L
the fund, but several OF those who sub
scribed did not wish their names Il
appear in print.
