HER HOME IS
YET A PRISON
Plight of Mrs. Louise
Worthington's Little
Baby Girl.
The Mother Goes to San Quentin,
Where the Child Can.
rot Be Taken.
Sheriff Whelan in a Quandary as to
What He Shall Now Do With
the Tiny Wait.

A tiny waif of three years trots blithly
about the corridors and rooms of County
Jail No. 8, practically without parents and
without home except for the roof that
now covers her.
The little one is the daughter of Mrs.
Louisa Warrington, who has twice been
convicted of the murder of Harry Badde-
ley. and who began her twenty five years
sentence at San Quentin yesterday.
The baby, who bears the name OF Ellen
Worthington, was born since Mrs. Worth
ington was incarcerated for the shooting
of her lover, and has been with her during
the years she has been under the Sheriff s
charge awaiting or und 'rgoing trial.
Now the mother has been taken away
to pay the penalty of the law and Sheriff
Whelan is in a quandary as TO what to do
with the baby. The husband of Mrs.
Wor Ellington is caring for the other two
children that were born to his wife pre-
vious to the tragedy and, being in poor
could support the additional burden of
the third child.
The authorities at the Jail have become
very nue. attached to Inc little one who
is said TO be exceptionally bright, and are
10th to part with her, but they realize that
the institution is no place for her.
She cannot be cared for at San Quentin,
and the Sheriff does not wish to place her
in a charitable institution. 1t is hoped
that some family who will give the baby
a good home will adopt her, 80 she can
be brought up without the knowledge of
her birth almost in the shadow of the
gallows
Meanwhile she plays about and sings
her baby songs totally unaware Of her
mothers terrible fate.
Mrs. Worthington's removal to San
Quentin was accomplished in very quiet
manner. She has frequently threatened
suicide. and the Sheriff was fearful that
she would attempt to carry out her design
if she knew that she was to be taken
across the bay"
No one knew that her time had come
until deputy Sheriff called yesterday to
tell her to prepare for the journey.
She exhibited little emotion when
parted from the baby, and accompanied
the deputy with all the apathy that has
characterized her actions since her arrest,
three years ago.

THE CREW WOULDN'T WORK
Seven Men on the Schooner Elsie
Refuse to Go to the Japanese
Sealing Grounds.


Last night about IL clock the revenue
cutter Hartley found the sealing schooner
Elsie of Port Townsend drifting in the
calm about the lower bay trying to reach
an anchorage. The cutter made fast and
towed the vessel over near Black Point
where she was moored and the revenue
steamer returned 10 her wharf.
Captain Fred Currey Of the Elsie stated
to the revenue officers last night that his
seven sailors had refused duty few days
ago, and their action forced him to run
for this port. The Elsie ssiled with a
crew of twenty-one from Port Townsend
Deem Der 20 Tor a year sealing voyage
in the North Pacific
The hunting along this coast was I'M
successful, snd Captain Currey decided to
run over to the Japan sealing grounds,
and last Wednesday, when he headed
west for the Aslatic waters, the seven sail-
ors refused 10 handle the vessel.
"They not only refused to turn to-" said
the captain, "but they informed me that
| they would not work when they got to the
japanese grounds, and gave no reason for
their action.
when they shipped in Port Townsend
they were given an advance, which of
course they spent ashore before we sailed.

suppose | will have to get rid Of these
fellows and ship new crew. They are all
old sea!ers and knew what they were do
ing when they came aboard the Elsie"
The men on being questioned sullenly
refused to answer or make any explana-
ton for their mutinous action. Captain
Currey will lay the matter before the Fed
eral authorities to-day. There seems to
be no reason why they should persist in
refusing to work the schooner.

husband we'll knows to secure evidence of his
perfidy, which have obtained. He knew this
and took advantage of 1t by suing me Tor
divorce.
Mr.. Dimond and myself have not lived hap
PLY for long time, fact due to his neglect
and cruelty to me. Long ago learned OF his
unfaithfulness and charged him with numer-
Gus intrigues which he could not deny.
Finally his conduct away from home became
so notorious that We have practically lived
apartsince.
These facts VIII be fully set forth and their
truth esta blished when my attorneys, Thurs
ton d Stanley, present my side OF the case In
court.
My visit to San Francisco was by suggestion
OF my lawyers. l had learned that year ago.
when my husband came hither after his faith
er,s funeral, he was guilty of serious conduct.
One OF the intrigues in San Francisco OF
which have secured evidence concerns Two
young women we'll known here and my nus
bands brother well as himself. l have the
dates and places of these occurrences.
But the most serious charges will be able
to prove against him will involve the names
OF several women distinguished by their social
connection in Honolulu.
With the aid of my lawyers will also fur
nish evidence to show that tor two years past
my husband has been consorting with a hula
hula dancer on the island.
In TACT, l have been quietly securing this
evidence against him for many months. He
hnally learned of it, and has tried to antlc1-
pate my civil suit
Mrs. Dimond saws that she and her hus-
band were about 10 separate nearly three
years ago and concluded to patch up their
differences on account of their child.
Until the husband began to drink to great
excess, she says, she intended to remain
with him, and did not leave him until his
conduct became unbearable.
Before ne left for the north yesterday
Mr.. Wilson made the most positive denial
OF any wrongdoing. He said time would
develop the facts in the case and until
then he would do nothing further than
put in a general denial. He did not deny
that he had deep friendship for Mrs.
Dimond. Those who know the parties
we'll say he has deep infatuation for the
lacy, which she has not reciprocated, and
that this has caused the notoriety.
Mr.. Wilson's parents live at Seattle.
