POLICE DO NOT BELIEVE THE YARN SPUN BY
GUSSIE KILLER.
Gussie Hitler fifteen years old. who says she
comes from Calvert. Tex, was found at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning by Patrolman Town wandering
about the neighborhood OF Nostra nd-ave and Ber-
gcn-st. She sent TO the Childrens Society and
told remarkable tale there. which the agents Of
the society refuse 10 believe. She said she came
from Texas with her mother three weeks ago to
find relatives. and that she went TO Manhattan on
Saturday afternoon by way OF the Grand-st ferry
TO look up friend whom she had met in the
Juvenile Asylum while she was an inmate OF that
Institution some time ago.
According 10 her story she got lost while trying
to disembark from the ferryboat after II reached
the Manhattan side. and became 50 bewdered by
the intricacies OF the ferryboat that she was
brought back to the Brooklyn side where she sue
ceeded in getting ashore. She could account
for her presence al the place where she was found
early In the morning, nor could she give any In
formation as to the whereabouts OF her mother.
The Chldren's Society hunted up the address
which the girl gave as that Of her friend but found
there who had ever heard OF Gussie They
believe that the girl is runaway. and hope that
with the new evidence which they intend TO hunt
up to-day they will be able TO make her break
down and tell the truth. She is at present In the
OF the society.
