Unraveling A Mystery: Part 2 (1913)
NO MORE SHORTCAKE FOR AGNES TINKLER
"Agnes Tinkler, the girl sent to jail for refusing to answer questions before the grand jury, had strawberry short cake and cream for dinner Saturday. Her relatives brought the dainties to the jail and the girl had eaten before Sheriff Nicholson knew about it.
Judge
Johns told the sheriff not to make the girl's stay in jail any too pleasant,
but the sheriff did not anticipate any action on the part of relatives in the
way of supplying the girl with dainties.
At noon the sheriff ordered that hereafter nothing be given the girl
from the outside. She will have to take
the regular prison diet.
So far
she has maintained her determination not to answer questions. She is a sister of the girl who committed
suicide by taking carloic [carbolic] acid after a quarrel with her lover a few
days ago.
Saturday
afternoon the girl was ordered returned to Geneva, the grand jury reporting no
true bill in the case of John Judd, to testify against whom the girl was
brought back."
