A TERRIBLE TALE.
A Mother Sacrifices Three
] aughters.
Horrible Details.

From Jefferson City there comes to us a
story Of horror and crime that has seldom
been equalle6A and can never be excelled It's
details are h able in the extreme, and al
most beyond belief 1t is tale of the prosti-
tuition Of three beautiful girls by an unnatural
n tiendish mother.
In the upper portion of Jefferson City
(SiXth Dstrict), there has resided for some
time Mrs. George Wimprun, in small cot
tage house, with her three daughters, said to
be triplets, all beautiful and accomplished
though the woman herself is common and I'M
educated. The family Were held in high es-
TEEN by the neighbors, and no suspicion of the
TERRIBLE CRIME
being committed was ever aroused.
On Thursday evening Mary Ann Wimprun
called at the house Of Mr.. Wooley, deputy
sheriff of the society for the prevention and
suppression of the cruelty to animals, and
asked protection from
HER MOTHER.
With him she went to the office of the Pre-
sident and made known her wrongs, and they
were Justly considered of such a nature as to
warrant the arrest of Mrs. Wimprun.
Accordingly an affidavit was made, and
yesterday Deputy Sheriff Van Kirk took
her in charge and locked her up in the
Seventh Precinct Station.
Hearing of the affair BULLETIN reporter
proceeded to the house OF Mr.. Wooley, on
Peters Avenue, near the Levee, where he saw
Nhn1
small and slim, dark complexion, and very
pretty.
HER STATEMENT
was as follows:
She said about three weeks ago her mother
introduced into their house two men, Robert
Collins and Louis Folger. and, after prelimi-
naries, requested her and her sisters, Mary
Louise and Mary to submit to their embraces.
This the girls emphatically refused to do, and
her mother beat her and Mary Louise severely,
the other sister escaping and leaving the house.
BY cruelty they were
FORCED TO SUBMIT,
and the men have visited them ever since.
On Monday last. Mary Louise made her
escape, and went to the house of a neighbor,
and, as stated above, Mary Ann left ON Thurs
day.
The body of the girl is in fearful condi-
ton,
BRUISED
and blackened and showing the marks in
deep blue lines of the fearful castigatiOn
which she received.
After hearing the girl orr reporter visited
the Seventh Paecinct Station. where he saw
THE WOMAN.
She is tall and stout. and very rough in APP
pearance.
She denied the statement Of her daughter,
and said that the girls We're willing victims,
and that she had shipped them on account OF
their impertnence to her.
The matter will be thoroughly Investigated,
and until then the case is submitted without
comment.

1t was our good fortune to be present at the
annual examination Of the Principals depart
ment, in charge Of that energetic and able pro-
fessor, Uric Bettison. Most of the pupils ac-
quilted themselves admirably under the close
questioning to which they were subjected.
The exercises were enlivened by some inter

Chamberlin, Max Samson and Arthur Palfrey
The beautiful maps drawn by Willie NJ. Railey

Here now we have the above sum divided

ask? Are the affairs Of the bank settled ?
No; and never will be. SO long as there re-
mains dollar Of assets to be divided among
the assignees and Others
When will the creditors of the bank the
note and stockholders obtain dividend at the
rate of expenses in the past three years Of its
liquidation, incurred by the commissioners
and assignees? When all of the available
assets have been realizedand appropriated Tor
expenses, then the unfortunate creditors may
hope for statement which will exhibit an

they will have the satisfaction of knowing that
the affairs Of the once great bank. the Ajax Of

disgraceful exhibits that was ever made to the
public Whether Mr.. Norton or Mr.. NIilten.
berger, Mr.. Willoz or Mr.. p. Fl. Morgan, Mr..
Irvine, or anybody else, is connected with it,
we care not when, We have the figures to
show that in three years time no less than one
hundred thousand dollars have been absorbed
by these so-called commissioners and assignee>
in settling the affairs Of this bank.
When charged by the BULLETIN with ex-
ceeding the law in their claims for fees and
commissions, one of the assignees excuses
himself by showing that his charges We're less
than his predecessors. If they We're Illegal in
their charges, it is no justification for the as
signee to say that his were little less, but
still not within the provision Of the law.
We give the following statement show
ing the cost of settling the Bank Of Louisiana,
which is to-day no nearer completion than il
was three years ago, and yet over one hpo"i,rd
thousand dollars have been paid to commits
