duced to leave comfortable homes and
come to the city by a man who gave
his name as Charles Redmond, mana

said that some time ago they volunta
rily answered an advertisement of

The girls accepted the proposition
and arrived here last night in company
with two other girls from the came
city. Misses Teller and Msnheur eaid
they didn't much like the actions of
their companions while on the road,
but suspected nothing wrong until on

eat supper. This the girls refused to
do, but their companions psrtook Of
their mea. After supper they were
taken over to the Park fheater saloon
and told that this was the place at
which they were wanted to work.

under false representations. This
seemed to anger their room mates, who
swore'at them all night. Early this
morning the girls left the room and
went out into the street. They saw
the cathedral, and at once decided to
go to the priest for advice. He in
structed them to go to the Mayor. A
policeman accompanied them TO the
station house, where they appealed to
Capt. Kerrigan for protection, He
promised to see that they were sent
back home. Capt. Kerrigsn at once
sent for Redmond, and when he and
Pat Hanifan walked into the Office the
young,ladies identified the latter as the
man who accompanied them from
Chicago and who said his name was
Redmond CAPT. Kerrigan requested
Redn ond to pay for the passage OF the
girls back to Chicago; but this he re-
fused to do, and said lie would have
more to do with the mater.
Capt. Kerrigan secured passage for the
young ladies and sent them home to-
