money and furniture which she said she had

her removal to an asylum: But her brother,
Mr. Adolf Wilcke, Of No. 299 West Chicago ave
nue., took compassion on her and took her to his
homo, where she remained until couple of
weeks ago when she disappeared and was not
heard of again until the suit was begun. The
persons sued, her mother and stepfather and
Aid. Eckhardt, never deprived her Of anything.
She had no money when she went to her broth
ers. What furniture she had was taken to Mr.
W7ilckc's house, and the pieces-she broke it
up-are there for her when she claims them.
