BOB HAIRED GIRL JOLLIES VICTINS She and Husband Plead Guilty- Face Long Terms New York, April 24.—The hold-up Jig which Celia and Ed Cooney have been dancing to the tune of brand- ished pistols for three daring months culminated yesterday in the Brook- Iyn county courthouse on a flat and" discordant note. The measure end- ed in a dirge—the single word “Guilty” as pronounced by Iyn’s bobbed-hair gunwoman and her husband in answer to an indictment charging robbery in the first degree. The penalty preschibed is from 10 to <0 years. They will be sentenced Tuesday. After that only a single flash of bandjt glory remained for the black- oyed slip of a girl with ironclad emo- tions and her somewhat less mal- icable husband. Detectives hurried them through the Zear door of the courthouse and into a waiting auto- wmobile. For a few monments man and wife were in animated conversa- | tion. Smiles at Crowd Outside. About them swirled the hundreds who packed the street. Celia Cooney turned toward them, tossing back her head with its bobbed dark locks. She flashed a proud and spirited smile. Then the car moved slowly off through the mob toward Raymond street jail. . If any one had expected bobbed-hair bandit to cringe were disappointed. If any one thought the death of her eight-da the old baby, born only a few days after | her daring attempt to hold office of the National pany at 1000 Pacific street, would un- nerve her, they were mistaken. Ex- cept for her bravado before the crowds, her evident gnjoyment of their curiosity, she was hard and cool. Earlier in the day 13 parsons had positively identified Ed Cooney and (‘elia as the bandit pair. Celia ad- mitted it. She was willing to joke, and did so, at the scare she had given some of them.
