SAD FOR SARAH.
A Sedalia GIRLS Trouble at
Wyandotte, Kansas, Yes
teruay.
Seduced and Deserted, Her Condi.
ton is Indeed the Most
Deplorable.

At Wyandotte, Kansas, yesterday, a
Young girl named Sarah Smith, aged about
Is years, who claims that she formerly re-
sided in Sedalia, and lett here but month
ago to 60 To Wyandotte, was found lying
i'm commissions at a house there where she
was employed as domestic, and on
physician being summoned ii was discov-
cred that she had swallowed a quantity OF
oil of tansey-enOugh to have killed her
had not medical assistance arrived just as
it did.
The girl, to begin at the beginning, on
arriving at Wyandotte, went to work at
the Ryus house. Sne was a sister-in-law
of the
HEAD COOK
of the establishment, and did ehambermaid
work for about a week, when she became
dissatisfied and suddenly Left. Her broth
erin law, whose name is Gillespie, seems
40 have shaken her off, and to use his own
chaste expression, didn't care where in
she went to-" The next that was seen OF
her was at the Fifth street restaurant,
where she was employed for brief time,
but not coming up to the moral status OF
the place, was discharged. Subseq Ienti!!
she went TO work as
A SERVANT GIRL,
in the family OF Mr.. Wolf. a dry goods
merchant of Wyand0tte, where she took
the deadly drug above referred to, which
is peculiarly supposed To have the effect oil
producing an abortion, aud coupled with
the fact that the sufferer was evidently in
an interesting condition, but little remain
ed to make complete the story OF shame.
The woman is ignorant and uneducated,
knowing nothing OF medicine, and it was
evident that she had been prompted in her
action, ii not absolutely under the manipu-
lations of some one OF the professional
abortionists who ply their
DIABoLIcAL PROFESSION
in Kansas City and vicinity. She at first
refused to give the name Of either this
party or the author OF her trouble, and
was sent to the home of distant relative,
who lives in the outskirts OF the town.
Her brother inlaw and sister refused To
have anything whatever TO do with her,
and she will probably be received into the
Sisters Home for the friendless until her
baby is born, and she is able to work again.
She claims that she was seduced by 8
man named Fogg, with whom she lived
for several months as
HIS MISTRESS,
and then, becoming tired OF her, he cast
| her of, leaving her To bear the brunt oi
shame as best she could.
The name oi FUgg is unknown here, and
ii is probable that Miss Smith did not
give the right name of the party with
whom she had been criminslly intimate
She SAYS ne is we'll of, but this, too, is NOR,
than likely uptrus
4 BAZoO representative made inquiries
this morning for the purpose of learning
something regarding the girls movement:
while in Ssdalia, but was unable 10 locats
her with anything like certainty.
The suspicion that the poor victim has
been I'm the hands of
! PROFESSIONAL ABoRTIoNIsTS
is heightened by the fact that the records
OF the drug stores bear no indication al
any OF the poison she used having been
recently sold-pointing toward 1t having
heen furnished her by outside parties. She
had strenuvllsly been posted 10 preserve
silence and her lips are tightly sealed as t,
the identity OF the guilty ones. The
authorities have the matter now IN hand
and il is To be sincerely hoped will be abl'
To probe it To the very bottom.
