Her, From Cell in Won,-
ans Ward at Jail

The voice of woman floated out on
Lucas avenue from a cell In the. city
Jail. today. The owner was Lumming
little bits of one song and then an
other. Some times she made up the
air. The noise of a rocking chair
creaking backward and then forward
and the tapping of two shoes against
the bare floor was mingled with the
song.
Defiant but humming the woman sat
there, gazing out through grated win
dows. a half cynical look in her eyes,
repressed hatred for all she saw and
heard. the victim of circumstances, a
hardened woman, the police say. but
one who has never had the right
chance, the woman herse-- has told
them time and again.
Suddenly the song ceased. "If they
would only give me the chance they
talk about so much. Quit bounding
NE and prosecuting me and driving
me out OF this town and that town.
Picking on me and no one else and
denying me the right to live peaceabiy
in my, own town. II they would do
that and give me chance" she
ended her TRADE addressed to the wall
with bitterness. Then she stood up

She was Myrtle Stice whom the po-
lice arrested shortly after her return

the girl-she is barely twenty-was

station When he did the daughter
was led upstairs and locked behind
the bars.
Three weeks ago when the girl was
told to leave Keokuk she was ordered
not to return. eff you do, you will be
locked up" saidia police official. The
police carried out their threat.
