Woman Died in Jail

Serving a year less a day in the county jail, only a little over two 
months of which had elapsed, Mary Slattery of Cresson died Monday morning 
in the Cambria County prison.  The woman had been ill for some time and 
Dr. F. C. Jones was with her through all of Sunday night.  Her husband, 
Richard Slattery, came to Ebensburg Monday afternoon and took charge of 
the remains.

The woman was sent to jail in June by Judge O'Connor on a charge of 
perjury.  She was 28 years of age and is survived by her husband and three 
children.  In 1908 she spent some months in the almshouse, being in 
destitute circumstances.
