Girl Arrested in South Bend
Tells Story Coinciding
With That of Mrs. Nugent
of a Few Weeks Ago;
Brothers Heavily Fined.
WAS THE VICTIM OF
VAMPIRE BROTHERS
Sold Her Into Slavery, Collecting
Blood Money From Her and Black
mailing Men Who Compromised
Themselves By Becoming Ac-
quainted With Her.

In publishing the story OF the arrest
of Mabel Farm OF South Bend and her
two brothers. who are believed to have
been involved in a Matchmaking plot,
the mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance OF Mabel Nugent from Gary a
few weeks ago is solved; the two per-
sons are Identical. The maiden name
of Mrs. Nugent was Farm and it was
her two brothers who were trying to
get her to a convent in Detroit. on
which they based as their defense for
the blackmailing scheme, which was
nipped in the bud.
Several weeks ago the report spread
about the city that the woman who had
killed herself in a rooming house and
who was known as Mrs. Smith. was
Mabel Nugent, but this has since been
disproved. Upon the arrest of Mabel
Farm the entire matter has been clear
ed up.
As a result of their arrest in South
Bend George Farm has been fined $50
and committed to the county Jail, and
Fred was fined 800 and released on
suspended sentence and ordered to
leave the city. Mabel Nugent, alias
Farm, will lbe sent today to the House
of the Good Shepherd at indianapolis
The police of South Bend declare that
they have positive evidence George
Farm has been living OFF the earnings
of his sister and that he brought heI
from Gary to South Bend for that pur-
pose. The plan, the detectives claim
was to make her acquainted with men
then blackmail the victims and demand
part of her i'll gotten gains. Farr
claimed that he was trying to get his
sister to a convent in Detroit.
Her story a Sad One.
The story of Mabel Nugent. from the
Gary end was one of the most pitifu
cases that has been brought to the at
tentfon of the police. Here she wa!
arrested on statutory charges and lat
er released on her plea of innocence
when she related a story of having
been forced by her own family to mar
ry man whom she did not love. Judg'
| Fitzgerald. who tried the case. showed
as much clemency as possible and re
leased her on condition that she would
go to work This she agreed to do bu
refused to live with her husband again
She kept her word in every respect.
After her release Mrs. Nugent re
peatedly complained that her famil!
was bounding her to desperation be
cause she would not live with her hus
band and threatened to send her to
convent She finally disappeared from
| Gary after working several weeks a
| the Jefferson hotel and nothing wa
heard from her until she was arreste
under her maiden name, Farm. It i
not believed that her brothers intende
to take her to Detroit when they lef
! Gary.

At the conclusion Of a brief business
session OF the Gaelic Society OF Wash
ington last night in the main auditorium
OF Carroll Institute. an interesting and
highly instructive literary and musical
programme was presented. in which we'll
known Irish-Arner!cans participated.
A literary feature was an instructive
paper on THE origin OF Irish place
names" by John T. Coughlin. or the dip
lomatic service Of the state Department.
In which he traced the nomenclature OF
Ireland from the earliest history of the
country 10 the present time He pointed
out that IN the selection OF names by
the Irish for rivers. hills. mountains.
towns and other places the names Sc
lected had an especial appropriateness
FOR the particular thing named. He said
II was strange that while Ireland has
been under the domination OF the con-
quest and for centuries the power OF the
English. neither had oblterated the no.
menclatuee Of the country, nor had those
conditions left their impress in names 20
any marked extent.

Service, read paper written by DIT.
