Let my daughter starve. Instead OF

Such were the EXPLANATIONS uttered
this morning by Isaac Weinstcin, an Old
man living at 2l5 Madison street. They
were not merely wild CALCULATIONS. but
were addressed suppliantly TO officer
Gormley. of the Gerry Society. who had
come to ask Weinstein what disposition
he intended should be made OF his daugh-

Dora. who became fourteen years old
on May IL last, had been arrested yester-
day by Officer Gormley as u witness
against two women charged with her
abduction for disorderly purposes. One
of these women, Mrs. Amelia Hoffman.

still at large, and only her given name,
Ietta, Is known to the police.

At 6 O'Clock each evening Dora used
to arrive home saying that she was tired
out by work and begging her father to
wake her up early the following morn

In this way the child eluded suspicion
until officer Gormley discovered her
manner OF life at % Orchard street and
placed her under arrest.
