Frances Mclean, the young woman
wbo defed detectives and Post-Oftice in
epectors for hours in q room at the
Hotel Seville last night, was arraignec
IN tn. United States District Court to-
day with her husband, Thomas o'Con
nor. before Judge Chatfeld They are
charged with using the Urited state:
mails to further swihdling scheme
manipulated from Wall street.
They kept the usually quiet and ex-
elusive Seville in an uproar last night
while detectives battered on the door
of the room and perched on fire es-
cape outside. The woman is handsome
and self composed, and has figured in
court proceedings on previous occasions.
Fl. Gordon Miller represented the pair
before Judge Chatield.
Assistant United States District-At-
torney Lord asked that bali be fixed at
5000 for both prisoners. He declared
that the woman was a principal in the
alleged swindling scheme.
This woman" said Mr.. Miller. "is
the wife of O'Connor He is practically
penniless and cannot obtain bail He
10 willing to go to iail until called for
trial. But It would be a great injustice
TO the woman to fix bal! at 5000. The
fact that her husband is in Jail will
serve to keep her here. She can furnish
a bond of $1,000. and ] ask the Court to
six ball at that amount.
Judge Chatfieid fixed her bail at H-5no
Inasmuch as O'Connor expressed his
WILLINGNESS to 20 to isil no bail was
fixed in his case. NJ Miller said he
thought he could raise a 81. 800 bond for
the woman.

clares the business he and his wife
have engaged in is perfectly legitimate.

good bet he would make money. Then
the investor would risk aonther sum
