MAMIE WARDE DIED AT JAIL HOSPITAL

A young white woman named Mamie Warde died at the jail hospital yesterday after a 
lingering illness of several weeks.  She was formerly employed in local concert 
halls as a song and dance artist.  Some weeks ago the police raided a house in an 
objectionable quarter of the city and the Warde woman was among those arrested.  
On her arraignment in police court, she, with the others, was committed to prison. 

After her incarceration, she grew seriously ill and was removed to the hospital 
quarters of the city jail.  Her condition was hopeless from the beginning and she 
realized that she had only a short time to live.  The Rev. Father Walsh 
administered to her spiritual wants, the minister being by her bedside when she 
died.

Friends of the dead girl took charge of the remains, which they had removed to an 
undertaking establishment for preparation for interment.
