SAYS She Stole TO
HEAR GYPSY Smith
PARADoxIcAL EXCUSE MADE BY
A sHoPLIFTER IN Po-
LICE COURT. ....

st. Paul, April S.-Fannie Bird did
wrong that she might do right At least.
that is the paradoxical assertion she
made when brought before Judge
Hanft in police court this morning on
a charge OF shoplifting.
Fannie was arrested in a department
store for stealing several articles Of
wearing apparel. When arraigned on
the charge of larceny this morning she
told the court that 1t was her desire
to hear the great revivalist, Gypsy
Smith, that led to her downfall.
An up-to- Date Excuse.
She claimed that she had neither
money nor clothes, and that pride for
bore her from mingling with the vast
throng of rejuvenated christians unless
she could make a respectable appear
ance. Hence II was that she stole,
thinking that the greater right would
compensate for the lesser wrong.
The psychological process which
evolved this philosophy being q trifie
obscure to his honor. the judge de-
cided that Il was predatory shoplift
rather than moral uplift that she de-
sired, and taking It upon himself TO do
a little evangeliEing, he urged Miss
BirG to contrinute &, 10 ine uulice
court collection. also admonishing her
TO keep her flnery aspirations from
going to her fingers. The lady. wish
ing to preserve her original cognomen,
and be known as Fannie Bird rather
than jail bird, readily complied.

hero today, sharing honors with their

Pincher rushed at the man, who put
the boy down and fed.
Candy Doped.
1t was learned later today that Fred
die slept like one under the influence

len eyes and slight illness indicated
that his condition was not natural
The doctor was unable to detect pois-
on, but 1t is thought the candy the man

Boyle, the accused kidnaper of Billy
Whitla, comes to trial he will be de-
Tended by Judge S. HI. Miller. Mrs.
Boyle has not yet retained her attor-
ney though reports from Chicago are
to the effect that rich relatives will
furnish the funds for her defense.
A curious reversal of position has
occurred in connection with the Boyle
case. Many of the principals in for
mer trial of Boyle's are to be i included
in this case. Boyle was prosecuted
three times by District Attorney
James M. Campbell, now a state SEN
ator. A conviction was secured each
time and then petition to suspend
sentence was prepared. Among the
signers was James p. Whitla, father
of the boy Boyle is charged with kid
MAPPING. The judge before whom Boyle
was tried and who suspended sentence
was Judge S. H. Miller, now counsel
for Boyle.
