named Henrietta Sondheimer from brotheI at
the corner of Q and 1917 streets, where she had
been taken by fast young man. The brothers

possible, from leading life of shame. She had
been there only one day, and when brought to
headquarters bad her hair bobbed of and
frizzled, and was otherwise rugged out in jaunty
style. She appeared quite stubborn and indif-
ferent, alleging AS an excuse for her conduct
brothers. Ma, - : Lizards and other gentlemen
tried to persuade her to return to her home and
reform, but she showed very little signs of
repentance and remorse. Finding that earnest
and good advice was wasted upon her, she was
furnished lodgings for the night, ana this morn

appearing TO bring charges against her, she was
