Miss CampslI Who Solicited ID
vertisements for Program
Here Arrested In Phila.
ulREs HALL FOR A CONCERT.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19:-Eliz-
abeth C. Campbell, who was arrest
ed in westchester on charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
was arraigned lin the Central Police
Court here yesterday morning. The
arrest of the young woman came at
the end of chase of over tow weeks,
which led Detectives Wood and Lee
to Frankford. Willow Grove and
Jenkinstown, and thence to Doyles-
town, Wyncote, Kennett Squaer and
other places in Bucks, Montgomery,
Chester and Delaware counties.
Miss Campbell, who is young, pret-
ty, well dressed and a persuasive talk
er, is charged with having Swindled
unsuspecting storekeepers out of con-.
siderable sums of money by an en-
tirely new scheme. According to the
detectives the young woman's plan
was to hire hall and announce that
an entertainment was soon to be giv-
en-. The young woman, according to
the police, would then solicit adver-
tisements from storekeeperS with
which to fill the program.
About the middle of July the young
woman hired a hall in Frankford and
announced an entertainment would
be given on the 29th. 1t is charged
that she then started out TO get adj
vertisements, cash in advance. The
program being filled she announced
that the entertainment would not be
held until August IA and left the
town. 1t was the change in date
which aroused suspicion and caused
the police to be called into the case.
In court the young woman indig-
nantly denied to Magistrate Beaton
that she had ever obtained money un-
der false pretenses.
Il make my living by giving elo-
cutionary entertainments she said.
Il do literary work and have written
a little poetry"
She declared that she had kept her
promise TO give entertainments ev-
cry time and would do so now. Mag
istrate Beaton decided to hold her in
$500 bail for court, however. This she
could not furnish and she was sent to
Moyamensing prison.

KANSAN TO TESTIFY.
FL Dorado Man a Witness at the Trial
of Caleb Powers.

Georgetown, KY, Dec. 24.-Reading
of Ex-Governor Taylor's deposition.
which was begun late yesterday, was
completed at the Powers trial today.
Taylor made a general denial of hav-
ing had any knowledge or participa-
ton in plot to murder Goebel as has
heen alleged by Youtsey, Golden and
Noakes. n. P. McGlove testified that
Youtsey, after his arrest and while in
the Frankfort Jail admitted to him
that he had filed off a key to Powers
private Office the day Goebel was
killed and that Powers and Captain
John Davis ought not to have ac-
cepted a pardon and left Frankfort as
that tended to cause them to be sus-
pected of being guilty of the crime.
j. NJ. Hardgrove stated he saw
Youtsey emerge from Powers private
office, directly after the shooting, hat
less and coatless. with a pistol in his
hand, and apparently very much ex-
cited. Hardgrove said he informed
the prosecutor of these facts before
Powers third trial. but that he was
not called to testify. .ssss
Captain Stephen G.. Sharp United
states marshal and former state treas
urer, testified that directly after the
shooting of Goebel he went to Cover
nor Taylor and offered his services to
defend him. Governor Taylor directed
him to take charge of the defense of
the building, which he did, not allow
ing anybody to enter. Captain Sharp
startled the court and spectators by
stating that three days before Goebel
was shot he (Sharp) was given re-
liable information by prominent
Democrats, that the Democrats had
ordered 1000 guns, ammunition for
the same and that men would be on
hand to man the guns and Taylor and
other Republican state officers would
be forcibly elected from office. This,
he said, was why armed Republicans
were about the executive buildings and
why state troops had been notified to
be in rea dine to move as he had
communicated these facts to both
Governor Taylor and Adjutant General
Collier.
Former State Treasurer w. R. Day.
arrived today from El Dorado KAN
and will be a defense witness
