Mrs. McJilton To Be Brought Back
I.W.W. Sympathies Hinted For Woman Indicted in Corbin Dynamiting

   Corbin - Feb. 16 -- Deputy Sheriff C.N. Young of Williamsburg left this
morning for San Bernardino, Cal. to bring back Mrs. Dudley McJilton under
arrest there in connection with the blowing up of the Meadows Hotel in this
city.
   It was stated here today that the local authorities enlisted the
co-operation of State and Federal authorities in solving the mystery of the
explosion when it was learned that the husband of the woman for some time
before his departure from Corbin for California had been seen frequently in
the company of a known member of the I.W.W.
   Mrs. McJilton has been indicted by the Whitley Circuit Court and a copy
of the indictment was in the hands of the California authorities.  She will
be brought to Williamsburg, it was understood.
