Worthington took the girl home to
her parents the same afternoon.
lie stated that she left home on
account of notoriety resulting
from a recent assault committed
upon her by man named John
keogh, who is now serving 20
years for that offense. The girl
was the principal witness against
the man.
Miss PCtfen berger was arrested
in barber shop. 1t was her voice
that caused the barber to become
suspicious and call a policeman.
Miss Potfenberger said she
thought it would be easier to
get employment in Washington as
a boy than as girl.
1t is probable that Miss Potlen-
berger will be sent to distant rel
