Then she said:
"All right, papa; thank you"
DIR. MONNISH APPEARS.
In about fifteen minutes a man of
medium height, wearing a light spring
suit and a black derby, came into the
marshars office. 1t was DR.. Monnish.
His wife and he looked for a moment
into each others eyes, but they ex-
changed no word. Her attorneys came
in and talked with her in low tones. He
stood by clasping his hands, glancing
upward, saying nothing. Occasionally his
lips moved spasmodically.
Finally the attorneys came out.
I'VE don't know yet what we shall do"
they said. I'VE may appeal the case; we
may not. Wen take today, perhaps sew
eral days to think it over
Outside the custom house all this while
a taxicab was waiting. Half an hour af-
ter noon, a marshal appeared and waved
to the chauffeur. And then Mrs. Monnish,
supported by her husbnd on one side, and
Miss McColgan on the other came down.
In the elevator she reeled and nearly fell
On the steps of the building she sank
betwe enthe two, her mouth twitching
convulsively. Once she mutttered the
name IF the woman to whom she is al
legged to have written the obscene letters;
anu again the name OF ner CnllO.
She was lifted into the taxicab. Jea-
nette sprang lightly in behind her and
took a seat to her right Then DR.. Mon
nsh and Miss McColgan climbed in. Dep

beside the chauffeur. A crowd of specta-
tors pressed closer to the curbing The
.machine whirred noisily an instant, and
then glided away with the first woman
who has ever received a penitentiary sem
tence in the federal court of this dis
trict.
Until il is decided whether or not her
case is to be appealed, Mrs. Monnish will
be held under close guard at her resi-
dence, 349 Peachtree street. She has re-
Gently sold this property but she will be
allowed to remain in possession until her
furniture is moved. She procures the
privilege of remaining there for the time
being by paying the expense Of federal
buard. Deputy Marshal ]! c. johnson
will sit by the door of the rom in which
she is locked night and day and will car
ry the key in his pocket.
Mrs. Monnish was indicted by the last
federal grand jury on the charge of send
ing through the mails obscene letters at
lacking the character of Mrs. Mary Lou
Montgomery Byrd Preston. In these
communications she is said to have ac-
cused Mrs. Preston with having alienated
her (Mrs. Monnish's) husbands affec-
