DESIRES TO REFORM
BLANCHE CUNNINGHAM Has
FOUND A NEW HOME
The Wayward Girl L. Now Surrounded
by Kind Friends and Good
Influences

The mother Of Blanche Cunningham.
the 15-year-old girl who was placed In
the Kings Daughters rescue home sew
eral months ago, called at Justice Nor
rison's court yesterday afternoon to ask
for the privilege Of making periodical
visits to her daughter. The request was
not granted, for the reason that 1t Is not
believed that the mothers influence over
her child would be in any way beneficial
to the wayward girl.
Blanche was first arrested last sum-
mer. She was then living with another
girl and two boys in a gunny sack tent
in a canyon near Azusa. The facts were
published at that time and the depravity
Of one so young seemed almost incred-
ible. The girl was kept in jail for few
days and then sent home to her mother.
1t was not long before she was again
arrested for petty larceny. She was
taken before Justice Morrison and tried
on the charge. During the progress Of
the trial the young fellow who had in
duced the girl to leave her home and
i've with him in the tent where she
was daily debauched, appeared on the
scene and announced his readiness to
marry the girl, II by doing so he could
prevent her from being sent to jail.
Blanche's mother gave her consent to
the marriage, knowing as she did of the
character of the man who wanted to
make her daughter his wife. A license
was issued from the county clerks Of
fee. but when 1t was presented to JUST
ice Morrison he refused to marry the
couple.
He made inquiry Of the matron Of the
Kings Daughters rescue home, and
learned that the girl would be given a
home there II desired. Blanche stated
that she was willing to go. and prom
ised to reform. She was sentenced to
six months in the city jail for the offense
Of which she had been convicted. but
Execution of sentence was suspended.
Ever since the girl entered the home
reports of the matron concerning her
conduct have been most fattering. She
has shown an earnest effort to reform,
and it is believed that with little help
and good influence she will yet grow up
to be a respectable woman.
