running YOUNG GIRIS.-In the Police Court
this morning dilapidated looking white woman,
named Elizabeth Johnson was arraigned on the
charge OF being vagrant. 1t is alleged that
she keeps house on E, between sth and 9th
streets northwest, where it is charged she
entices young girls into her place for evil pur
called upon to rescue a young girl from this
place, which he did, and arrested the proprietor
on the charge OF keeping bawdy house. This
charge was, after consultation with Mr.. Coyle
withdrawn, as the prosecution OF it would com
pei several young misses who have respectable
parents to confess their criminality by becom-
Ing witnesses against her; so the charge of va
grancy was made against her, and of being
suspicious person, without visible means OF
support. Detective Voss told the court
how she had been living, and how men
house He also told OF his going to the house on
saturday and finding the girl there. The girl
testified that she had been knowing the woman
lor two years; that Mrs. johnson had persuaded
her to come there. Mrs. johnson testified
in her own behalf Tat she told the officers that
The girl was not there because she was fright
eneQ; tfat the girl came there Of her own ac-
cord. Judge Smell said that men were bad
enough when they seized upon young girls, and
deserved the names of tigers but when aw0n1an
seized one OF her own sex TO ruin them in soul
and body she deserved the title OF demon, and
she deserved the very lowest portion of hell.
The description by Dante Of the Internal regions
did not convey the idea of a fitting place for
such woman. He would require her to give
bonds, or go TO the work-house for 80 days.
