has snapping hlack eyes. She was a
very willing witness, with one excep

and seemed determined to tell all eho

alleged blackmailers, and also several
wardmen. Lawyer Price was also
named as a go-between, but. the n*«t
InteresUng statement cnodo by the wit

had been trying to save from a disrep

her /own mother, who wits the proprie

Mrs. Hermann said she made several
attempts to save the girl-through the
police, and even applied to a police Jus

The witness tratified further that
