AT the COUNTY JAIL,

Mrs. Rose Grayce, who was sentenced
to serve six months in the county Jail
nine weeks ago for shop lifting, was re-
moved from the Jail to the st. Mary's
hospital last Friday. The change was

condition is such as to require hospital
treatment. 1t is said that she is suffering
from tuberculosis, which she contracted
at the county Jail. Only little more
than one third of her term has expired
But in view of the fact that she is suf
fering from serious pulmonary disease
contracted at the Jail, she will probably
be pardoned. 1t is said that an effort
will be made to secure her pardon.
