Being hypocrite without pay does
not appeal to the Rev. Jimmy Darnell,
and for this reason after he had been
safely slowed in cell in the Milwau-
kee county Jail on last Saturday after
noon he 4courteously declined the invita-
ton Of Sheriff Melms to deliver a SER
mon to the prisoners in the county jail
on Sunday. The prisoners seemed to
take kindly to the suggestion Of having
minister accused as a slaver' take
the place of the Salvation Army speak
err, but Jimmy said emo" He did con
sent to lead in prayer at the meeting,
but he figured that was about as far as
he could go without being unministerial
in his conduct. True, the Rev. James
stood in the pulpit of a Kenosha church
within twelve hours of his exposure and
after he had wonderfully good bunch
that he was going to be exposed and
preached what he afterward declared
was the best sermon Of my ministry.
However, the Rev. Jimmy has seen
lot Of things since he left Kenosha and
lot of things have been said about
him and he has become more seemly
in his conduct.
This morning Darnell was arraigned
in the United States Court in Milwau-
kee charged with violating the Mann
act and he entered a plea of not guilty.
His attorneys gave it out before the
hearing that his defense would be
plea of insanity and the trial will be de-
layed any way until after the alienists
who have been making an examination
Of Darnell have made their reports. 1t
is said that these men are divided as to
whether Darnell is crazy or just fool
ish.N Darnell evidently believes that
the insanity defense is going to be a
successful one, as when he reached Mil
waukee late Saturday afternoon he per-
sisted in saying that he did not believe
that he would remain long in custody
and that he was hopeful to be able to
get out and take up his life work again
i'm a short time Darnell is mingling
freely with the other prisoners in the
Milwaukee Jail, but the United States
Marshal has made it impossible for him
to do any talking. Strict orders have
been issued that no one be allowed to
visit Darnell save his attorneys and
such other people as may have an order
from the United States Marshal. It is
said that these passes to the Darnell
cell will not be issued to newspaper men
rs the attorneys for the minister are
still of the opinion that he is talking
entirely too much for his own good.
Just when the trial of Darnell will be
reached is good deal of problem. Tt
is understood that the attorneys for
Danell are In no great hurry to get
the case to the jury and the federal at
toTneys have lot of other cases to
take up their time and energy. OAR
nell's return to Wisconsin did not give
hlm chance to get even glance at
the scenes of his former ministry in
kenosha, as he was taken from Chicago
to Milwaukee on train on the Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul road and the
nearest he got to Kenosha was when
the train went through the village of
Truesdell at a rate of sixty miles an
hour.
1t is understood that no effort will be
made to secure the release of Darnell
on bail at this time on account of the
fact that his attorneys are hopeful that
an early hearing of his case can be ar
ranged for
Darnell is still strong for Doris
Vaughn. When he was taken to the
station in Chicago on Saturday after
noon and it was found that he had to
wait an hour before the train would
leave for Milwaukee, at once went into
telephone booth. He finally managed
to get 7 iris on the other end of a tele-
phone wire and he talked to her until
the federal officer dragged him out of
the booth to go to the train. Doris her
self seems to have soft spot some
where for the former husband and II
was evident from the conversation that
she was not averse to the talking of
Darnell.
Ruth Soper is again back in Ovation
ma and it is understood that she will re-
main with her parents until she il
called into court to testify. 1t is adj
mitted that she may never be called as
a witness against Darnen as the Gov
eminent has other testimony of viola
tions of the Mann act which II eonsid.
ers more important to give to the Jury.
