meant?" He told her he did not know what
she referred to, and charged her with being
whole seas over. She denied it, and be turned
away. He had some months before gone to
700 ri Market street, San Francisco, where
frankie Youngs lived, and asked after Will

her because he wanted to find Youngs on
business he had in hand-aud having no rela-
ton to this-and if he had given his true
name Fraukie would have told Youngs, and

a genuine one.

VIM. Youngs, charging him with rape, and
Chief Karcher has gone with the warrant to
San Francisco to arrest that individual.
