A BRIDLE ON HER TONGUE.
Mrs. Hedpeth Is Determined Not to Betray Her Husband.
San Francisco, Jan. 11.—Mrs. Maggie Hedpeth, wife of Marion Hedpeth, who is wanted for complicity in the robbery of a train at Glendale, a few miles west of St. Louis, Mo., left for St. Louis tonight in charge of Detective Tracy and Policeman Charles Cody. As it was feared that an attempt might be made to release Mrs. Hedpeth, Chief Crowley selected Cody to accompany her to St. Louis. The woman has not had anything to say concerning her arrest, and the efforts of the police to get her to talk have proved futile. She is determined that her husband will never be caught by any lapse made by her. While in the city prison she talked freely on any subject but the robbery.
