of mutual infatuation between girls is re-
ported from south st. Louis. The family
OF Mary Gray, pretty girl Of 10 years,
lived at No. $3.50 Hank avenue. Tn to Sep
TENDER last Mary lived there also. She was
employed in down town restaurant mar
Ret. Minnie Freiding, woman of Is
years, sells chickens i'll the market, and
somehow the two got acquainted Mary
had never cared much for the attentions
of the opposite sex, but by strange freak
of nature She became violently enamored
Of Minnie freiding. The affection was
returned and ont of working hours the
two were always together.
Minnie was continually making presents
to Mary Finally, when she gave the girl
d valuable gold watch, Mrs. Gray's indig-
nation broke loose and she forbade MARY
70 have anything 10 do With the woman.
Opposition Only famed the flame Of their
passion, however, and one day Mary dis
appeared from her home. Her brother
Oscar tracked her to Minnie Ereiuing's
house ON Lynn street. A watch was
placed and it was found that no one lived
III the hat but the two girls, that they
never had male visitors, but were con-
tinually together
Oscar wrote kind letter to his sister,
begging her to break the unnatural ties
that bound her ana return home. In re-
ply he received q note not his sisters, tell
ing hiln that she wanted nothing more TO
do with him or them. Ills sisters name
was signed, but oscar believes Minnie
frcidiug wrote the letter.
week Or Two ago he met the girls on
the street and induced his sister 10 go
home with him. The girl was kept there
lur several days, although she begged to
be allowed to go to Minnie. She finally
escaped and returned to the Freiding
house. some days later her brother, who
still persisted in trying TO save the girl,
calico ut tho house and was so vehement
In his demands that the girl went TO Clerk
Heating OF the First Precinct police court
and swure ont y summons charging him
With disturbing the peace. She claimed
that her brother had kept her locked up
and beaten her.
Mrs. Gray, as soon as she heard of the
summons, called on Clerk Heating and
told the story of the intimacy nt the two
girls, adding that her daughter had always
been treated with kindness at home. Then
tic case against Oscar Gray was nolle
pressed.
Miss Freding states that when Miss
Gray first came to her. her back, neck and
arms were covered with wells and bruises
caused by frequent and severe beatings
from her mother, sister and brother.

have authority to resclnd the lease of their
