LOUISA MARKESFELDT IS LAME AND SILENT

With the committal of Louisa Markesfeldt to the Mercer on a charge of vagrancy, which, Inspector of Detectives Kennedy anticipates will take place to-morrow, the nine days' mystery surrounding the Barnardo girl whi is now held on a charge of vagrancy will be ended. "She is over 18 years of age, and the Barnardo Home cannot do anything for her," said Inspector Kennedy. "She is undoubtedly sane, but too obstinate and self-willed. When she comes before the magistrate to-morrow she will probably be committed to the Mercer, and it is most unlikely that an examination will be made into her mental condition."

Despite her positive identification by Miss Sillars, inspector of the Barnardo Home, yesterday, the girl maintains that she was never a ward of that society.

Governor Chambers of the Jail says that she is a very quiet prisoner. "While she is conducting herself well, she is very lame from the effects of the injuries sustained when she made her sensational leap from the Court street station window last week."

"On account of this injury," said Dr. Chambers, "we are not as strict with her as with the other prisoners. She has expressed a wish to be allowed to lie down, and because of her injury we are indulging her to a certain extent. She is eating the same meals as the other prisoners, and no food has ever been sent in to her. No visitors have called to see her, nor has she asked for any person."

LOUISA MAKES A MODEL PRISONER
According to Reports She Has Forgotten to Talk and Pro-German Sentiment Remain Quiesant.
Louisa Markesfeldt, the "German spy," who
is well known here and who a few weeks ago was the most talked of girl
in Ontario, is now a diligent worker in the laundry at the women's jail in Toronto.
She was sentenced to "six months and Indefinitely" in the Mercer
Reformatory a week ago, but was not removed to the institution, as the
place is filled to capacity. It was intended to hold her at the women's jail
until a vacancy arose at the Mercer. Her conduct at the jail so far has
l been exemplary. She performs her in a manner to call forth the
praise of those in charge. If she still possesses pro-German tendencies, she
is wise enough to keep them to herself and thus"escapes.a lot of inconvenience
which might have caused her fellow prisoners.. She appears to have
all inclination to recount the weird stories which she told to tho police
and which caused a profound sensation at the time.
