Pearl Boyd, the Youthful Gypsy Grim
inal, Again IN Trouble.
Pearl Boyd, the youthful Gypsy
criminal. is again in the clutches Ui
the law. This morning she was sen
fenced, by Justice II a. johnson, 10
nav n fine 6f So or TO taHc
twelve days in the county jail for an
"offense against public decency.'
When Pearl was released by the To-
cal police officials about three weeks
since, Just after having stolen several
articles OF clothing from Miss "a
brielson, IL was understood That she
was to leave the city lmmediately,aud
IL was only upon that consideration
that the girl was granted her Tree
dom.
But IL has developed that the girl
did not leave the city at all, but IN
stead has been living with her rela-
tives and associating constantly with
friends OF every description and Oi
questionable character.
Sunday eyenSng Pearl attired 10
boys clothes, passed a Commerclal
street cigar store in the door ol Whlch
stood Deputy Sheriff \. i. VAIN, VINO,
thinking he recognized the person as
that or the Gypsy girl, concluded 10
| follow her aud observe her actions.
| lie had not followed but a few blocks
when the girl was joined by we'll
known local character who has, at va
riOus times, caused the local police OF.
| fcers endless trouble by his crooked
methods and practices.
The couple had not gone much tar-
ther until the young man realized
| al - n
arated from the girl. Deputy Sherln
VAIN however continued tufullOv the
girl who returned to Church street
and entered the Yestibule OF church
where she remained for few mo-
ments. Upon making her exit she
was appreheuded by Mr. Vain VINO
caused her arrest aud promptly
escorted ner TO the ullice OF
! Chict Of Police Dilley.
The girl was neatly attjred in a
good suit OF nicely titting clothes.
Her heavy head OF beautiful black
hair was concealed hya large brown
hat.
Arrived az the city hall, the girl
was subjected to rigid and search
| ing questioning by Chef Dilley who
hoped to induce the girl t. dlyulge
the particulars of some Of the recent
burglaries about the city with which
tue girl has, unQueStiOnahly been
connected. But the clever official
was blfiled in every attempt. The
girl evaded answering questions that
would without doubt have confused a
hardened criminal. She is we'll.
verSed in crime for one Of her years.
This is PEARLS third appearance in
police and justice courts. Upon con-
ferring with Superintendent Gardner
OF the Boys and Girls And Society Of
Portland, City recorder EdeS learned
last December that no person would
be committed to the institution from
Salem without an expense TO the
county of 50.
The girls father having faithfully
promised to take her and remove from
the city in case she was released from
custody, Recorder EdeS thought that
tie most eXpedient and economical
way in which to dispose Of the case
but in less than three weeks after
wards she is again trouble.
When arrested Sunday evening
Pearl had a good Seryiceable umbrella
which she had probably stolen, for
when asked as To how il came into
her possession, Slyly remarked my
brother gave IL to me-" Any one
having missed an umbrella might call
and see the one at Chief Dilley'S office
