Show TOLD HIM HOW TO FREE HER. Remarkable Plot to Liberate a Prisoner lievealed In Court. A middle aged man calling himself Henry Bresling went to Jefferson Market Mar-ket court and told Justice Koch that his sister-in-law, Miss Emma de Fontane, had been arrested and sent up for two j months. He " asserted that she was a good woman and that a mistake had been made. "When asked for the date of the arrest, he produced the following letter: let-ter: My Dear Friend I am sorry to tell yon that I have been arrested and was sentenced to two months or S200 bail. I was arrested with other women. The rest got six months. I now remind you that you often told me you would help me. Get some one to go bail for me. You know my bail ia only "straw bail," and you could get any one to go on the bond. If you go to Judge Koch and tell him you are my uncle, and that I am a hard working, decent de-cent woman, and give him a good game of talk, you will have no trouble. One of the women who got six months with me is out. Her friend went to the alderman of the ward, and he fixed it. Come with the discharge yourself, and on the spot I will give youths price of a suit of clothes. When the justice had read the letter, he looked at the man and said indignantly, indignant-ly, "Jl you are in this courtroom in 10 seconds, you will go to the island yourself." your-self." The fellow made quick time for the door. New York Press. |
