JEMISON PUZZLE IS FURTHER COMPLICATED

Immigration Agent at Windsor, Canada, Deported Mute Woman and Her Three Children. The Louis Jemison story has another chapter and it is probably not the last. Mrs. Jemison and heir three little children, the oldest not more than four years of age, arrived in Rensselaer Wednesday evening, and Night Officer Critser and Sheriff McColly learned with some difficulty that the immigration agent at Windsor, Canada, had declined to admit them into that country and had deported them to Rensselaer, from whence they had gone last Sunday. Evidently Jemison’s intention was to meet them there and take them across but for pome reason he did not put in an appearance and as she was unable to talk she could not make the officers understand and she was sent back here. The sheriff and nightwatch took the poor woman and her little ones to the Gallagher boarding house and they were kept there over night and it was planned to take them back to Detroit, Mich., • this Thursday afternoon, an officer accompanying them and*to try to get her across the line. She denies that her husband is to meet her, but evidently does this because she fears he will be arrested and returned to the penal farm from which he escaped. The best thing that can happen, however, for the interest of Indiana is for them to get into Canada, otherwise they will be a charge on the community and Jemison a menace to the peace of the state.
