YOUNG GIRLS QUEER STORY
Says She Was Detained from Home by q
Man Wearing a Star.
THINKS he IS A GENUINE POLICEMAN
Hans Jensen's Thirteen-Year-Old
Daughter Tells Peculiar Tale
About Being Abducted and
Police Are SkepticaI.

A peculiar story OF the alleged abduction
Of his 1S-year-old daughter by a supposed
policeman was related to Chief Albro yes
terday morning at police headquarters by
Hans Jensen Of 1915 Sixth avenue. When
Jensen appeared at police headquarters ac-
companied by his daughter, he was boiling
over with rage and 1t was some time before
he could collect himself sufficiently to
make his story clear.
The girl had been absent from her home
Saturday night and did not return until
Sunday morning. She said she had been
abducted by a man wearing a star and pro-
Tossing to be a policeman.
The girls story as told her father and
by him related to Chief Albro was substan-
TALLY this: The girl left her home Sat
urday about noon and was accosted on the
street by two men, one Of whom claimed
to be a policeman and who wore a false
moustache. They told her they had to
take her to headquarters to investigate a
complaint that she had called a certain
woman bad names. They took her frst
to what she thought was the county Jail
and then to an office. which she was told
was the police headquarters. They ques-
toned her for a long time about calling a
woman bad names and then they took her
to the home of the woman on Avenue G,
where she was again questioned. When
they finally told her she might 60, II had
become dark and she was afraid to go home,
so the woman, whose name the girl thought
was Martin, permitted her to stay over
night with her.
The girl said she had not been molested
in any way.
Chief Albro showed the girl several kinds
Of stars worn by his men, but she said the
one worn by the alleged policeman was not
like any OF, them. She said it had the
number II" on it, but on being questioned
admitted 1t might have been the mans
suspender buckle that she saw. She was
unable to give and description Of the alleged
abductors or the places where they took her.
While Chief Albro had his doubts OF the
story, she told 1t in a straightforward way
and her father believed what she was tell
ing.
Jailer Martin said no gill had been
brought to the county Jail snd lone was
brought to the city jail. Chief Albro
offered to send an officer with Jensen and
his daughter to try and locate the place on
Avenue @ where the girl said she was
taken, but Jensen refused the proffered
assistance, saying as he left the chiefs
ONCE that his girl would hnd it and tina
the police would hear from him later.

said, had been at the settlement for
fifteen years, and during that time he
had never published any criticism Of
the board. What his private opinions

against him, for to do that there would
have to be a closing OF the lips and

As to the work of the settlement, 1t
