Garner and her friends re- plied that they could say nothing about her plans. Special Messenger to Prison. The warrant for her release was sent by special messenger from the office of Senator Harry W. Reynolds to the prison at 11 o'clock in the morning. It was 246 o'clock when Mrs. Cobb passed out of the prison which has Dbeen her home for so many years.
