BRIGHT GIRL,S LIFE WMJOffiD
BY 1NH1I3UAN TREATMENT
OP CRUEIi FATHER.
A prss dispatch from Easton, Md.,
tells the following revolting story of
a father's inhuman treatment of his
daughter: , ; ;
One of the most brutal and inhu
man cases of treatment of a child by
a parent that ever has taken place in
Talbot county or in -Maryland was
,fv,oH hv Misa Emma Davies, lo-,
Uliai VJ.AV-V4. wf
cal agent in Easton for the Children's
Aid Society of Maryland, near St.
Michaels. The facts in the case, so
far as canJje ascertained, are as fol
lows :
It is said that nearly 12 years ago
Grace Marshall, daughter of Frank
Marshall, who lives on a farm near
St. Michaels, then 16 years of age,
was going with a young man to
whom her father and stepmother ob
jected, and, to keep her from meet
ing him, they locked her up in a room
in their house about 8 by 10 feet. One
day she escaped from the room and
jumped from a second-story porch to
the ground, breaking a leg. She was
picked up and carried in the house
and the limb reset, but not properly,
one leg being left about four inches
shorter than the other.
After she recovered she never was
allowed to leave the room. Her step
mother, it is said, carried the key to
it in her pocket, and no one was al
lowed to see her. Marshall had other
children, but on the death of his first
wife they were distributed around
among her relatives.
One of these little girls was placed
in the home of her aunt on Kent
Island and about seven or eight years
ago, it is said, this child died and
was brought from Kent Island in a
motorboat to Marshall's home,
whence the funeral and .burial took
place. It is said that the rumor was
circulated and never was contradict
ed by the Marshalls that the child
that died and was buried was Grace,
the reported invalid daughter, who
lived at home with her father and
stepmother.
This state of affairs is said to have
been going on for the past 11 years,
and all of the girl's relatives and
friends believed her dead until sever
al weeks ago, when her uncle, John
Hancock, of Wilmington, came down ;
to Marshall's on a visit. When he
vas ushered up to bed that night by
chance he was assigned to a room
adjoining the one in which his niece
was imprisoned.
During the night he heard such un
earthly moans and groans coming
from the room adjoining that he
could not sleep. It kept up all night,
and when light came he arose and
sauntered out on the second story of
the porch. Still hearing the groans
he started an investigation. The
shutters to Grace's room were fasten
ed, but, peering through the cracks,
he saw the girl wearing only her un
derclothing, crawling around the
floor, apparently picking up crumbs
and eating them.
He returned to the house and said
nothing of the affair to his brother-in-law,
but came to Easton that day
and reported the case to Miss Davis,
who began an investigation of the
case. She went down to Marshall's
residence to see what was the matter
and if she could in her official capaci
ty be of any assistance. She asked
to see the girl, but was frankly told
that no one was allowed to see her.
She then came back to Easton and
through the assistance of Attorney J.
Fletcher Clark obtained a writ of ha
beas corpus from the Circuit court
for Talbot county, which is now in
session here with Judges Adkins and
Hopper on the bench, and, armed
with this and accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff James A. Gannon, they pro
cured Orland Horsey's automobile
and late yesterday afternoon they
went down to Marshall's and brought
the girl back here with them.
Before removing her from the
house Miss Davis was compelled to
get her a dress, shoes and stockings,
in fact, everything except undercloth- i
ing, as she had nothing to wear. Miss
Davis said when she and the Deputy
sheriff entered the room she never
in all her life and experience as agent
of the society she represented had
seen such a pitiful sight. She said
that in the room was an old-fashioned
bedstead with a strnw mattress
on it, covered with a sheet and two
old comforts to cover the girl.
The room was small, with only one
window in it, and the shutters to that
closed, and the ventilation and stench
something terrible. In this condition,
with little clothing, the girl, it is said,
had been compelled to spend the last
11 years of her life, during the win
ters without a fire and the summers
without much air. Miss Davis was
also told that she was given two
very scanty meals a day, which "her
condition plainly show was not suffi
cient for her.
After arriving in Easton she was
taken to the court house. The regu-r
lar session of court forthe' flay hay
lqg adjourned, she, her; parents and
aHirifisaes im the casV were 'taken ln
the court room apd the .bailiff -locked
the doors, no one bejng;, allowed, in
side and an investgatibn started,
Dr. Charles F; Davidson, who made
.J.rir:;,;; "A! At :
she did not have two ounces of solid
fat on her body, and that she had
r.. . , ,.j.jv - tia
barely enougn Diooa ieii. j eey
alive, and that of tne, poorest
In fact, her condition was deplorable,
she being nothing but skin and bones.
Marshall, when placed on the
stand, , could give no reason for his,
treatment of his child in such a man
ner, except to say that he was not
able to send her to a hospital, but
neighbors said today that he is a man
goodN
of considerable means ana a
bank account.
The girl has been taken to the
home of her aunt, Mrs. M. H." James,
where she is receiving medical treat
ment from Dr. Davidson. When
weighed today she weighed only 57
pounds. She frequently is given
nourishment, which -she seizes and
devours by the handful, as if she
never had a meal, and was starving.
From what can be learned, there
is a law against the beating of child
ren by their parents unmercifully,
but there does not appear, so far as
the court or state's attorney can find,
any law on the statue books of
Maryland that covers such a case as
this one the inhuman treatment of
a child by its parrents. .
Today both Miss Davis and Miss
Mary Barlette Dixon, who 5s one of
Easton's most philanthropic and kind
hearted women, went before the
grand jury and, it is said, laid the
case before the jurors, but, from the
absence of any law that could be
found, the jury were unable to bring
any indictment. This action has not
dampened the ardor of these two
women, who say they intend to ap
peal to the governor and attorney
general and, if necessary, to bring the
matter to the attention of a federal
grand jury.
Miss Marshall's former school
chums say that at the time she is
said to have been imprisoned she was
one of the prettiest, finest-built and
smartest girls in the school Which
they a tended.
Father Placed in Jail.
Easton, Md., Nov. 23. Frank Mar
shall, who is alleged to httve kept his
daughter, Grace Marshall, a prisoner
in his home for several years, was ar- J
rested today on a warrant charging i
assault with intent to kill. Marshall
was brought to Easton and placed in
jail here. He is being held without
bail. ;
CARRANZA FLAKES APPEAL.
TO MEXICAN PEOPLE.
In a direct appeal to the people of
Mexico for co-operation in recon
structing Mexico, General Venustino
Carranza urged them in an address
to have patience, as the period of re
construction vrould be long and diffi
cult. "You must all have patience
and faith," he said, "and work with
the Carranza party in its arduous
task of reconstruction and of over
coming the mistakes of former reg
imes." Asked about conditions on the
west coast spf Mexico, General Car
ranza said foreigners now were in no
danger, but that should danger j
threaten them, prompt action would
be taken to afford relief. In regard
to property in Mexico which had
been seized by the forces of the de
facto government, General Carranza
indicated that property taken from
those guilty of offenses against the
government might be confiscated, but
that property belonging to those who
had not participated in political af
fairs would be returned to them. j
It was made plain that to settle
the question of confiscation or return
of their property refugees who fled
across the border, including in their
number many former supporters of
General Hureta, must present them
selves to the Mexican authorities for
trial in order to establish whether
or not they have been guilty of of
fenses against the de facto govern- j
ment. The innocent need have no
fear, General Carranza said, but the
guilty would be punished according
to "the extent of their transgressions.
Is Sickness a Sin?
If not, It's wicked to neglect ill
ness and means of relief. It's wick
ed to endure liver ills, headache, in
digestion, constipation, when one
dose of ' Po-Do-Lax gives relief. Fo-Do-Lax
is Podophyllin (May apple),
without the gripe.. It arouses the
liver, increases the flow of bile na
ture's antiseptic in the bowels. Your
constipation and other ills disappear j
overnight because Po-Do-Lax nas
helped nature to remove the cause.
Get a bottle from your druggist to
day. Get rid of your constipation to
night, adv.
