A TYPICAL SOUTHERN GIRL Adventurer of a Heroine of the Sixties?How She Kept the Federals at Boonville in Alnost Constant Confusion?The Clever Ruse by Which She got Her Brother Out of a War-time Prison?Threatened With Hanging?Alive Today. The daring deeds of a slender blueeyed Southern jrirl, who lived and loved ami fairly terrorized Federal soldiers in Boonville, Mo., in the stirring times of the early sixties, still are made the subject of many a reminiscent story. Marv Carroll, of Boonville. was as fearless as she was pretty, as defiant as she was clever and resourceful She could; says the Kansas City Star, ride a horse as well as any cavalryman and she could walk, too, when the occasion demanded. She smugpled arms and ammunition to Confederate soldiers, right under the very noses of the Federals. She aided in the escape of three prisoners who were under sentence of death. Finally she was imprisoned herself, but her ready wit won her release. So it is only natural that those who were neighbors of this dauntless nineteen year-old girl should still have vivid recollections of her. Today Mrs. Mary Carroll Brooks lives quietly with her son in Kansas City at 634 Norton avenue. She is 70 years old, but her mind is alert and her clear eyes have not altogether lost their laughter. Brother Condemned as Spy. In the winter of 1863 Dennis Carroll, a brother of Miss Mary, was arrested by Federal soldiers on the charge of being a Confederate spy, and, together with two other men, Mastin Patrick and Lieut. Charles Brownlee was imprisoned. Col. D. W. Ware, in command of the Boonville post, ordered the three men shot, but on account of the sudden illness of Patrick, the execution was deferred four weeks. Carroll and Brownlee were held in prison and when Patrick recovered he was placed in the same cell with them. Mary Carroll obtaoined permission from Col. Catherwood in charpe of the post, to take meals to her brother and his friends and to pive him any sisterly relief she could. So day after day, morninp and eveninp, Mary visited the Federal jail with a basket of provisions on her arm. It was almost dark in the cell when Miss Mary broupht the eveninp meal. This caused her brother to devise a plan of escape. "Smupple me in a file and a crowbar when you come tomorrow nipht," he whispered in his sister's ear one nipht. "We'll break out the bars on the window and escape." Brinps Crowbar and File. So the next eveninp Mary carried a short stout crowbar and a file danplinp from her waist beneath her hoop skirt. She left them in the dark cell unobserved by the puards. But that nipht the three men were caupht in the act of breakinp out the bajp and the work had to be done all over apain, under preater difficulties now, for the men were thrown in chains and placed in a cell without windows. For some reason or other Miss Mary was not suspected att he time of beinp responsible for the presence of the crowbar in the cell of the doomed prisoners, anl from then on she worked with more assurance. The only hope of escape now was to obtain a key that would unlock the cell door, and Miss Mary unhesitatinply set herself the task of procurinp such a key. Beinp a comely younp woman, it was not stranpe that the Federal soldiers about the prison should pay her marked attentions on her visits to her brother. Serpeant Proposes to Her. Lucky for Miss Mary and her brother the man who was hardest hit was the young sergent in charge of the jail?he who always carried the precious key at his belt. One day as the execution time was drawing near, the young sergent asked her if he might accompany her to her home. "Why, no, Iwouldn't be seen on the street with a Federal soldier," replied Miss Mary archly. "Then may I visit at your house tonight," persisted the soldier. "Well, perhaps I wouldn't object to that," she teased back at him over her shoulder as she hurried away. Of course he went to her home. He was young and made violent love to Miss Mary, who half encouraged, half repulsed him as women will. He asked her to marry him. She told him she would consider it, provided he helped her to get her brother out of jail. This he sorrowfully explained he could not do. "Well, then, you can at least let me see that piece of iron dangling from your belt," she laughed. Gets Outline of K?v Unsuspectingly he placed the key in her hands. Playfully, chatting all the while, the girl folded back the flyle&r of a book against the cover and with a sharp penknife outlined the key on the flyleaf. ____ SPARTA - %' "" H| * .^r"' w - *'. -xm ShRhHESB pnHHnRHNHH ll^^SBBflSmj * Owned and operated by the Bapi town at the foot of the mountain to go to school this fall because t year at the Spartan Academy.

With an exclamation the young soldier seized the paper from her hand and tore it into bits. But the imprint of the key remained on the cover of the books and the next day and the next and the next, Miss Mary worked to fashion after the pattern i first making one of wood, which her 1 brother feared would break off in the lock, and then one of sheet iron which ' proved too weak. Finally she began , making one of iron. Four days before the time set for 1 the execution of the death sentence : she finished it and smuggled it in tf j her brother and his friends togethej : with more files to cut the chains^ This time the scheme worked, and the next night the three mien escape^ ; Miss Mary and the village blact/4| smith were arrested on suspicio^ i Miss Mary's ready confession exoner- < ated the blacksmith. After havinp ^ been held a prisoner for four weeks she was taken before Col. Catherwood for trial. Asked how she dared ) do such a thing when she was under the oath of allegiance Miss Mary re- j plied airily: I Wit Saves Her. ! "I had your permission to take my \ brother food and any sisterly relief I < could." Her wit won the day and she was ( released. Her brother, however, was , killed before the close of the war. Toward the close of the war the ' jail was turned over to the town j sheriff, and this man, over zealous in the discharge of his duties, threaten- i ed to re arrest Miss Mary and hanfr ' her as a traitor. She was warned of the sheriff's intention and, though it ! was midwinter, she set out with her youngest brother and another little boy, whose mother wanted to get him out ofthe danger zone, and walk ed twelve miles through the snow and ice to Tipton, taking the train from there to St. Louis. Her feet were so badly frozen and blistered that she was unable to walk for weeks. The laboriously made key was kept in the court house of Boonville as a relic of the war until 25 years ago, when it was sent to Mrs. Brooks. And she has it still, an enormous thing four times the size of the keys now in use. "Tales of Honey and Tar" from West ami East. Wm.
