Miss Effie jacques, Mrs Jessie lobe
and Oscar Bishop, Also Of
keokuk, Detained by
Police.
INVESTIGATION is MADE
Advices Received Here Are That Last
Two Were Arrested For Lewd-
ness-Police News
Locally.

Advices from Des Moines are to the
effect that Miss Effie Jacques OF keo-
kuk is being detained by the police
PENDING an investigation and that Mrs
Jessie Jobe and Oscar Bishop, also OF
this city, have been arrested there
for lewdness.
1t is learned that the arrest of the
Jacques girl occurred when she ar
rived from Keokuk and stepped from
the Rock Island train at the Des
Moines depot. The police >.-scovered
in her possession a letter from Mrs.
Jessie Jobe, telling her to come to Des
Moines. This led to further investiga,
ton and the arrests of Mrs. Jobe and
Oscar Bishop.
Bond of Kelly Twins.
Whether the Kelly twins are to be
released on their own recognizance,
m;de to furnish bond in the sum of
500 each or committed to the county
Jail until the appeal case has been
decided will be determined Tuesday
morning. The probability is that
| they will be released upon their own
| recognizance. The case has present
ed several features which have prov
en- interesting
The age of the twins is still in
| doubt. During the trial Attorney
Frank Ballinger failed to put the de
PENDANTS on the stand to testify anc
it was thus necessary for the judge
| to decide the merits of the case or
the testimony of two witnesses Atkin
son, the prosecuting witness being
one, and Frank Burk for the defense
the other. AT nson testified that one
of the twins threw rock at him
while Burk said that he did not see TIL,
rock thrown, hence from the test
j nony it would indicate that the figh
occurring on South Fifth street start
ed with the Kellys. The twins wer
to have been committed to the count
jail in all probability, but Attorne
Frank Ballinger gave notice that
they We're he would sue outza .wri

that the grounds were that tie twin
could not be convicted before jury
He then gave notice of appeal.
