Miss Fink, the Deaf Mute, Tells Va
rious Stories

The Denver officials have come to the
conclusion that they have been neatly
imposed upon by young woman giving
the name of Miss Helena Fink, whom
they assisted from that city on her way
to Los Angeles. The Denver Times says
that Miss Fink appeared at police head
quarters and told a pitiful tale of her
journey from New York TO Los Angeles,
where she claimed to have relatives.
She posed as deaf mute, and related
heartrending tale of being robbed of
everything which she possessed at CO.
lumbus, Ohio, and the terrible time
which she had been having ever since.
The hearts Of the officials were softened
and they did all in their power to make
her comfortable, and placed her on the
westbound train, after caring for her
through the day.
It now appears that Miss Fink is a
systematic humbug. and has been tell
ing a different story in nearly every
city she comes to. She has gone under
q number of aliases. and has almost
always succeeded in winning assistance
by her pitiable tale.
