the girls story and the postmark OF
the letter received by Miss Joyce are
inconsistent.
The postmark showed it had been
stamped at 9 O'Clock last night. Ac-
cording to this, he said it must have
been mailed in the box at the hotel not
later than 1880 p. m, an hour and a
half before Miss Gfngles said she re-
covered consciousness.
Story Strange One
The name Of Miss Agnes Barrett
was brought into the case in the course
CT Capt. OBrien's talk with the pa
tient. The latter said she recognized
as Miss Barrett the woman who helped
get her into the cab.
The latter conducts a lace shop in
the Wellington hotel building and a
few weeks ago caused the arrest of
Miss Gingles on a charge of stealing
$50 worth of lace from the store.
Miss Gingles, when she came to Chi
cagO two months ago from Ireland,
represented herself as an expert lace
maker and found employment with
Miss Barrett. This employment ceased
with the theft charge.
The case was not pressed, but the
Irish Fellowship club, believing the
immigrants story that she was being
indictment charging the theft was
brought in order, it was planned, that
the girls name might be cleared.
Mr.. O'Donnell was retained to de-
fend her and she often called there at
his office and his home. She spoke
indefinitely at times of being perse-
cuted and of fearing bodily harm
would be done her.
Reads Like Fiction
Little attention was paid to her talk
however, as it was ascribed to a nerv-
Gus condition due to her recent trou-
bles with Miss Barrett.
Mr.. O'DonnelPs version of his clients
trouble is strange as fiction.
I'VE were just about to go to the
states attorney with details of as foul
a conspiracy as ever existed he de-
clared. Suddenly the chase was end
ed. Now we must see that the pun
ishment is swift and sure.
"a horrible act has been perpetrated
and the law of God and man set aside
It is worse than murder"
Mr. O'Donnell then outlined a story
of how the girls youth-she is only
19-her virtue and her beauty made
her the object of persecution on the
part of a man who, he said, was well
known in several states.
This man, he declares, was aided by
at least one woman in his efforts to
secure possession of the Irish girl.
Thwarted, the conspirators multi
piled troubles about their victim
head. Still she resisted, aided by good
friends.
Police SkepticaI
Mr.. O'DonnelIs view of the case
was not fully shared by the police,
who were mystified by the circum-
stantial evidence.
If she could write letter why did
not she perform the simpler act of
alarming the people? If she were
alone in the room, which she says, why
did she not use the telephone with
which every room is equipped?
Why use the comparatively slow
mails to ward off an apparently i'm
minent murder? How did she happen
to be wearing a night dress on which
the laundry mark was "a. Barrett?
These were some of the battling
questions which the detectives were
called upon to solve. Also, in view
of the previous questions, how came
she to be tied so tightly hand and foot?
