Young Girls.
About 10 O'Clock last night while Officer
O'Hare. of the Fifth police precinct, was pa
trolling his beat two gentlemen approached and
stated to him that q large and able bodied
man was irving TO force little girl into a house
OF bad repute, in what Is known as Rutherford's
alley, on r, between 18th and 18th streets, and
that she was struggling to get away from him
Just at this time two colOred women ran no
and told the same story. The officer fastened
TO the place and saw that the two had come out
of the alley and appeared to be walking quietly
down towards 18th street, the little girl some
what excited Thinking it prudent not to in
terfere just then the officer followed and saw
them enter the private door of a restsur ant on
the corner Of + and 18th streets. After a few
moments he entered the bar and informed the
proprietor that couple had entered there
whom he wished to see, and that he feared
some harm would come to the girl. On going
TO private dining saloon on the second story
he found the door locked, but it was soon
opened, and he took the girl into CUSTODY, the
man protesting they were there to eat oysters.
On the way 20 the station house she told Officer
OHare that the man, Mr.. j. g. Bard, tried to
make her 20 in that house in the alley, and that
she pulled away from him and would notiyo, and
that on her way home she was persuaded to go
and get some oysters; that while In there he en-
deavOred to get her TO drink some wine, which she
refused. On arriving at the station she re-
pested the same story, and in addition stated
that her name was Kate Mayer, that she was IL
years old, and lived with her mother on
street, near Sth; that Mr.. Bard was a printer
employed in the Government printing Office,
and lived at No. COZ II street northwest, that he
was an acquaintance Of her mother, and form
erly lodged in the same house on NJ massachusetts,
avenue, between 9th and eth streets; that last
night he visited her mothers house and asked
consent TO take her out to Harvey's to get some
oysters, but instead of going there went in some
other direction, and tried several times to in
thing to drink; that in passing this alley
he asked her TO 20 In, which She declined doing
saying IL was bad house; that he denied this,
wished to call on q friend who lived there
Still refusing 10 go, he caught hold of her arm
and pulled her up the alley toward the house,
this juDeture the mother OF the girl arrived at
the station-h house in search Of her daughter
and seemed quite indignant that the police
had notified her that the police had arrested
Kate and taken her from his protection, and
she thought il q great piece Of impertinence.
Her anger turned TO astonishment on being told
by O'Hare Of what had happened; and the story
being again rehearsed by her dau zhter, Mrs \
left the station house in company with her
daughter, wiser and sadaer woman. Such
acts as have thus been related are not recoy-
Dized as crimes by our laws, and thus il il that
such scouDcrels get of scott-free, TO repeat the
fered.
This morning Major Richards sent Detective
Miller to see Mrs Mayer, TO aid her in any
action she might wish to take in prosecuting the
asssilant Of her daughter, but she declined to
swear out warrant against him, saying that
ne had apologized for his conduct.
