Brown County (IN) Democrat, May 7, 1914, p. 5. IVA JUST CAN'T BEHAVE HERSELF, SO IT SEEMS And This Time She's "In Bad" on a Charge of Stealing $10 with Which She Bought Some "Glad Rags" Hello, here's Iva gain. Law-abiding, modest, refined, honest and gentle little Iva. Iva, of nineteen summers, large dreamy eyes, beautiful to look upon and as docile as a pet lamb. Iva, who in the past few months has been trying to make her husband, Thurman Percifield, be good by a continuous string of affidavits charging him with fraudulent marriage, asking a divorce, alimony and damages, two statutory charges and many other allegations for which we haven't space to enumerate. Iva has, indeed, gained much notoriety by her efforts at "law enforcement" and still more by her own law violations. She has been arrested and jailed over at Columbus, where she makes her home, on more than one occasion. Only a few weeks ago she and one William Dill were captured in a rooming house when the police raided the place. She spent the night in jail and next morning pleaded guilty to associating. Now Iva is in more serious trouble than ever. She has confessed to stealing a $10 bill from the home of W. G. Tyrell over at Columbus where she had been employed for a few days as a domestic. After Iva disappeared from the Tyrell home a few days ago, it was found that the $10 bill was also missing. Saturday night an officer went up to Franklin where the girl had been taken in charge by the sheriff of Johnson County and took her back to Columbus and put her in jail. She had registered at a Franklin hotel as Blanche Reed and had purchased a new hat and skirt in that city. In the city court last Monday, she made a written confession that she had stolen the $10 from the Tyrell home. The prisoner was bound over to the action of circuit court and being unable to furnish bond in the sum of $300, she was committed to the county jail. Iva was formerly Miss Iva Harden and was married to Thurman Percifield several months ago, but they did not "live happily ever after." Storms arose on their matriomonial sea, and they were soon estranded (sic). It is very seldom our duty to report a Brown County girl gone wrong, but there are exceptions to almost all rules.
