Arizona weekly citizen., 1890-11-29


 !" Last Tuesday prepossessing young woman called at the chief office for as sistance. She said that she had jus v arrived m the city from San Francisco . the previous. evening and had terrible experience. She said that she was 8 6 women with one child, and had beer " earning her living in San Francisco as '' seamstress. Her health was breaking down under the hard work and she be-
 all looking for something else to do. She finally called on a Mrs. M. S.
 Jewett who keeps a lodging house at
 No. 1l3 Mason street, San Francisco, who told her that she could secure her 6 posi tion as governess in the family of
 a "Col Hamilton, of Los Angeles. She has told that there were but two child ren m the family, boy and girl, and that the wages would be liberal. She
 promptly accepted the offer, but told
 Mrs. Jewett that she had no money,
 when that person very kindly offered to
 advance the necessary amount S25. Her
 baggage was checked and the checks
 given to the express messenger, who she
 was told would see that the persons she
 was to work for would meet her. She
 left San Francisco on the evening of the
 10th, arriving in Los Angeles on the fol
 lowing afternoon.
 She was met at the depot by
 woman, who said that she had been | 4O oft har %oI~ 4o | house where there were some wooden
 lions in the front yard. She was told
 that she would have to change her name
 as it was not aristocratic enough and
 would be called "Gladys"
 The young woman said that she ask ed to see the children, but was told that | they were out walking, and she was sent to her room to prepare for dinner. 1 She was finally called and on going in- to the dining room was shocked to find | l number of women sitting at the table in | extremely decollete costumes, and from | their conversation she suspected the | kind of place she was in. She at once | left the table and and returned to her ] room, and on trying the door few min utes after she entered she found that | she was prisoner.
 Determined not to remain in the place she jumped out of the window and made her escape, going to hotel, where she was cared for during the night, and as soon as possible came to lay her case before the authorities.
 The chief, from the description, re- cognized the place where the .women had been taken as the house of pros titution formerly kept. by Cora Phillips but now run by woman named Maud Cameron, and he at once sent Detective Wallen to investigate the case, The young woman's baggage was at the house and the chief ordered it sent to the police station, where it was returned to the rightful owner. In the mean time the chief has looked up an uncle of the young women, respectable busi- ness nan of this city. and the young lady was taken to the home of her re- latives, where she IS now.
 The Cameron woman insists that the girl knew where she was going when she left San Francisco, but the the of ticers take no stock in the statement. At any rate the young woman had a very narrow escape.
