While her injuries, which consisted OF
bruises and a broken arm, were being
treated she did not say a word. She
did not offer to give her name nor the
names of the friends whom she ejwas

story or the beautiful young girl who

Recently she wrote DIR. Moulder de-

how she came into possession of the
bill. She had discovered the doctors
