A STRANGE CASE
A peculiar case was brought before the
notice of the police this morning. Mrs.
Topec 6anrlotar both nf EnpliSh
Welsh nationality, the latter being about
13 years of age, rented a house of Allen
& Pyle, north of the city, two blocks
east of the cemetery. An expressnan
took them up with their trunks and they
stayed Saturday night and Sunday in
the house, though there is no furniture
in it. Sunday night, becoming hungry,
they went in search of something to eat,
and applied at house for shelter. They
were told, however, that there being no
women in the family it would hardly be
suitable to stay there AS the story
goes, one of the men accompanied them
back to their own place, and on the way
the elder woman dropped out of sight
in the dark. Yesterday Mr.. Pyle went
up and brought the girl to the Pasadena
hotel on Mary street. With the assist
ance of Officer Slater search was made
for the mother, and today she was
found wandering on North Raymond
avenue. She said that she deserted her
daughter because she thought the men
were going to kill them both and she
might as we'll be saved. She was taken
to the hotel with her daughter. The
only explanation seems to be that she is
mentally unbalanced.
