slave has been confined TO the hospital
several suspicious acting Orientals
have been frequently seen about the
place. and were caught lowering near
by attempting TO carry on communica-
ton with the woman.
The officers have information to the

show OF being carried out. and the mo-
tion now on file will result in the wo-
mans being taken 10 a rlaee of safety
upon her release from the hospital.
