KEEPS Girl TWO
YEARS IN SHED
Father, Found Guilty of Extreme
Cruelty, Declares She Would
Not Behave.
INSANITY is RESULT
Long Confinement Nearly Deprives the
Young Woman of Sight and Speech
Causes Big Sensation
in Community.

Bucyrus, Ohio.-Jacob P. Menges,
charged with keeping his twenty-six-
year-old daughter, Irene, in a dingy
smOkehouse for two years because she
wouldn't behave" has been found
guilty Of excessive cruelty by a jury
in Judge Rummels' court. The girl,
said to have been driven insane by the
long confinement, is now an inmate of
The State hospital at Toledo.
The case grew out of the fact that
on May 5, Sheriff Edward J. Knappen-
berger went to the Menges home, mid
way between Gallon and Crestline, and
found the girl, partly nude, in a smoke
house near the barn. The shed con-
tanned little but a cot and blanket.
Irene was brought to Bucyrus, where
she was cared for by Mrs. Knappen-
berger, wife of the sheriff She was
reported to show signs of long neglect.
May 16 she was sent to the State
hospital and Menges was arrested
on a state warrant charging cruelty.
Family Fought Raiders.
Chester A. Neck, Crawford county
prosecutor, states that the case is
brought under state law, making the
finding of the justice court final.
The release of Irene attracted wide
spread attention, as the statements
made by county officials at the time re-
vealed that The girl had been a pris-
Oner in the shack for a long time, re-
ports as to the duration of her cap
tivity varying from two to six years.
Members of the party raidlng the
Menges home met opposition and inter,
ference from members Of the family.
The girl was passive accepting RELIEF
without syllable.
When she was brought to, the Craw-
ford county jail here she remained in
ert, and her only words were a few
brief acknowledgements of thanks for
the acts of kindness shown to her.
Released From Asylum.
Under the care of the sheriffR wife
she frightened noticeably, but showed
little response to attempts to induce
her to oxp!&in her captivity in the
shed.

ORLANDO LAWYER
TELLS WHY z MEN
ARE PROSECUTED
Severely Criticized in
: Acting Against Two
Slayers
ny Assncinted Preasl

q
Jones' activity in the recent killing
of Harry Givens by L. j. Gay federal
prohibition agent, who, with J. Z
Bledsoe, was ordered held by cor
oner's jury at Orlando, but later
turned over to the federal authorities,
is severely denounced in a recent
statement issued by the local Minis
terial union
The statement has drawn a warm
retort from MIR. Jones. He request
ed the ministers to acquaint them
selves with the law and facts in the
case before condemning him,
The ministers statement, signed
by T. H. Mcconnell, chairman, and
six others, deplores what it describes
as the laXity in enforcement of the
laws. The statement says that the
Ministerial union deeply deplores"
the death of Owens, but has greater
sympathy for the young officer of
the United States who was forced to
use his gun to make the arrest, and
who happened to kill the criminal"
The action of State Attorney Jones
in appearing before the federal court
in Jacksonville to prosecute Gay and
Bledsoe, after the federal authorities
had obtained custody Of the men
through a writ of habeas corpus, was
criticized by the ministers. 1t re-
GREETED that his action had placed
the great state of Florida in the dis
graceful attitude Of prosecuting an
officer of the United tSates who
happened to kill man whom he had
arrested for violation of the Ameri-
can constitution"
Mr.. Jones in his published answer
said in effect that the ministers
knew little of what they were talk
ing.
He pointed out that his action was
the only procedure to be taken by
him under the state law. Gay and
Bledsoe were placed under charges
by coroner's jury after hearing all
testimony in the case, he said. When
the federal court took charge he
asked Governor Hardee to send the
attorney general to represent the
state, he said, but the governor di-
rected that he attend to the matter,
as he attorney general was unayail.
able.
Mr.. Jones further stated that the
testimony developed at the coroner's
jury hearing does not bear out the
light on the killing shed by Gay and
Bledsoe. Both men had barely at
tanned their majority, it was pointed
out, while Bledsoe testified he had
gone with Gay mostly for adventure.
Gay had no warrant for Given's ar
rest, and TO whisky from Given's au-
tomobile had been produced, Mr.
Jones said. Neither, he said, was
Gays claim of self-defense substan-
tiated by the evidence. Owens was
not armed at the time Of the arrest
and indications point to his having
been badly beaten by Gay and Bled-
soc. 4
Although he had never seen Owens
before his death, he said, he was con-
vinced that his record during the
world war entitled him to a citizens
rights.
Gay and Bledsoe were released in
bonds Of $500 and 5000 respectively
by the federal court. They had been
held here in bonds of $4,000 and
$1,000.

PAVING IN
GLENDALE SOON To
BEGIN IS BELIEF

GLENDALE. Jan. 26-It is thought
that in a very short time the actual
operations on the oity paving pro-
gram in Glendale will begin. The
time limit for all the legal prepara-
tions is practically up and it is
thought that the contractor will sign
around the first of the month. Then
the paved streets in Glendale will
soon be a reality.
In anticipation OF a greater Glen
dale, and making preparations for
keeping up the slogan of the Ideal
Home" city. plans and preparations
are being completed for the erection
of street lights. City Clerk Harry
White has plans for the installation
of 60 single light standards for orna-
mental street lights. These will be
placed in the business district that
will be paved. At the present time
the cost of installation will be neg
ligible as conduit will be laid only
where the wire must cross under the
street that will be paved. Otherwise
lumber will be placed where the wires
will be eventually laid alongside the
curb. These lights will be placed
about 100 feet apart.
