PASADENA, Oct. 18.-There IS
scouudrel still allowed to walk the streets
of Pasadena Lniniured, to whom coat
OF tar and feathers would be most Decom-
ing. He is painter by trade, his shop
being on East Colorado street. He was
engaged in painting a house in the east
ern part of the city and presumed upon
his profession of religion to introduce
himself to lady who has been quite
prominent in religious work, living across
the way from where he was at work. She
had occasion to go away from home and
he offered to let her take his horse and
wagon for the purpose, while her little
GIRL only years old, was left alone at
the house. While she was gone this fiend
in human shape took advantage OF her
absence to abuse the person Of the chill.
aud then made good his escape. When
the father of the child learned of the
matter, which it seems was SONS time
after, he thought it would be better for
the child's future not to allow the story
to get out. The parents refuse to prose-
cute, presumably on the ground that they
do not wish the affair to become public
property. But that reason will hardly
hold now since the matter has become
known, and if ths name of the family is
not already known to many it almost
certainly soon will be.
