town from her cell in the workhouse
here, where she had elected to serve a
three-month sentence rather than furnish
q Observation-Disclosures bond to keep the
peace She was thin and pale. and her
condition was considered sufficiently seri-
Gus to warrant sending a workhouse ply

in obedience to writ of habeas corpus
requiring her presence in court there as a
witness in the trial of nine Of her asso-
ciates in the Industrial Workers of the

to release her. She asserted that not
ties she had not partaken Of food. with
the exception of the whites Of two eggs,

week ago.
Should she persist in her hunger
strike It IL considered probable that
her wish to be fed forcibly will be
realized tomorrow.

Miss Edelson arrived here she appeared
to be in q. state OF collapse. She had
to be carried from the automobile to

THEFT CHARGE STRIKES
GSRL'S BOSOM FRIEND
Plaintiff and Defendant Weep To-
gether in Police Court
Trial.

Plaintiff and defendant. both young
and pretty women, wept together in

Mamie OHearn.
Mamie OHearn. when she learned
that the police had traced the theft
and pawning of the trfnket to her
friend, grieved that she had exposed
her friends shame and pleaded for her
release.
Judge Pugh was moved by the duet
of tears, and convinced by the tale uf
the two girls that Miss Dassouri had
never meant to really steal Miss
OHearn's pin, allowed her to go on
her personal bond.
AS she was leaving the court room Miss
Dassouri tainted and was obliged to rest
for a time in the office of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Given.
According to the story told in court
the stolen pin was recovered by the police
from a pawn shop, where IT had been
placed as security for loan to Kathleen
Dassouri. 1t was explained that Miss
Dassouri had been short of money and
ashamed to ask her friends for more, so
she had borrowed the pin and pawned it
to get funds to take her back to her
home in New York. Miss O'Hearn had
reported the theft to the police. never
suspecting that her friend was the culprit.
