Bandit Breaks His Vow
Girl's Faith Shattered
Denver, Col., Oct, 26.—Touched by
a letter she received shortly before
last Christmas from a prisoner in the
penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan.,
Miss Marie Ott, of 615 Knox court, be
gan a correspondence with the <han
In a heartfelt desire, she says, to en
courage and reform him. For many
months she harbored the belief that
her letters were leading him to a bet
ter life, and this belief was even
strengthened by his replies, which as
sured her of the good she was doing
him. Marie Ott was ver>' happy and
her work in the candy store at 33
Broadway seemed far less tedious.
But yesterday her dream castles
were shattered and her faith in hu
man nature was shaken. For she
'earned that the man scarcely had
been from jail when he was
rearreste.-l in Cincinnati as a bandit
and diamond robber. And she learned
further that as a result of her efforts
her name had been dragged into the
case and that the letters sheJiad writ
ten out of the fullness of her heart
had been seized by the police as "evi
dence to be investigated."
The man is Leßoy Baker, known
from coast to coast as a robber and
bandit.
When Miss Ott began hfr corre
spondence with him, he had to serve
only one mote year of a long term for
robbery and larceny. He was released
a few days ago from the, penitentiary
p.t Leavenworth.
Baker saw Miss Ott's photograph In
a Denver newspaper. Charmed by
her beauty, he wrote her a letter from
his cell.
Miss Ott was pleased. She had never
seen him, but she felt sure he was
Just a victim of circumstances. She
wrote him a letter of encouragement.
The correspondence became regular,
and some of the wiseacres of Cincin
nati declare it eventually repealed no
little affection on both sides.
"I had no interest whatever in him
other than a desire to help him," said
Miss Ott yesterday. "I received his
first letter shortly before last Christ
mas. He wanted me to write him a
letter to cheer him up."
