Furnished Mrs. Orlid and She Re-
turned to Char1estOn With Her
Daughters This Morning.
Heart broken, and with not enough
money to pay her own passage back
home. Mrs. Sarah Orliff arrived from
Charleston yesterday. She went from
the depot to police headquarters, and
in the private office of Supt. Reilly,
met her young and wayward daughters
who left home Thursday night with
Everett Stanley, the Jacksonville Mos
quito, and Charles, alias Young Rober,
Philadelphia wrestler.
The meeting of mother and daugh-
ters was pathetic. While the sorrow
and shame of Mrs. Orliff was unmis-
taxable, and with her eyes dimmed
with tears, she was taunted, and
laughed at, and held up to ridicule, by
the girls who had brought disgrace
upon her. Her entreaties for them to
repent fell upon deaf ears, and her
stern commands, given between sobs,
were answered with gibes and peals
or laughter. In vain did the mother
try to make her daughters understand
what they had done, but their aban-
doned and reckless manner remained
with them up to their departure from
the city.
Mrs. Orliff is a native of Roumania,
but her children were born in this
country. Her story, as gathered by
those who heard her talk with the two
girls is sad one, and the position
that the girls have placed her in she
feels keenly. AS soon as she was in
formed of their arrest along with their
companions, she gathered together
| every cent that she possessed and left
for this city. The amount was less
than enough to secure round trip
ticket for herself, and with the one
thought that her daughters required
ner attention, she came to Savannah
Tor them. Because of the fact that
she had no funds, no officer accom-
| panied her, on the trip.
The mother found herself in an awk-
| ward position, and hardly knew in
| which direction to turn for aid. She
was thoroughly determined to have
Stanely and Rober punished for car
| rying the girls away, but could not
anord to have them taken back to
charleston. Accompanied by her two
daughters, Detective Stark, and a rep
resentative of the Morning News. she
went 10 the office of Justice Naughtin
| IN the afternoon and swore out war
| rants, charging the pugilists with So
ouctlon. Mrs. Orliff signed both war
rants, charging Stanley with the Sc
ouctlon of Hattie. aged 49, and Rober
with the seduction of Bessie, aged Is.
Inc crimes are alleged to have been
committed Friday morning at a hotel
where the girls were first taken. with
their own story as basis for the war
rants justice Naughtin had the prison
| ers transferred from the station house
20 the county Jail, where they will he
neld pending an indictment. At the
notel at which the pugilists put up the
register shows H. E. Everette and

wife of Atlanta They arrived fron,
Charleston o'clock Friday morning
and left after dinner. One of the rooms
assigned the runaways and their com
panions was number "a, and when the
superstitious Jacksonville MOSQUITO"
discovered that and are 13 he de-
clded to change his boarding place, not
knowing at the time that the house on
York street was also No 13.
Mrs. Orliff says that the younger girl
would never have left home but for her
sister, and Bessie was upbraided for
leading her little sister astray. She
paid but little attention to what her
mother had to say, beyond telling her
not to take it so hard and to forget II.
Several times when Bessie's answers
to her mother were particularly sharp.
she was stopped by Hattie with a
Now, you cut that out, Bess" The
younger girl expressed no regret at
what she had done, but appeared to be
somewhat annoyed at the way in which
her mother showed her feelings. Bessie
did not seem to care at ALL but on
the contrary, seemed to take particular
delight and pleasure in watching the
tears trickle down the cheeks of her
mother. and in making some pert OBJ
servation.
The mothers picture OF her own
shame at the thought of having to re-
turn to the three younger children
with shameless daughters did not i'm
press Bessie, and she declared that
as matter of fact she would much
rather go anywhere than home. She
would even prefer entering a reform
atory; not because she felt thrilled
with the idea of becoming an inmate
of such an institution, but because she
preferred any place to home, and con-
Sidered a reformatory the next worst
place. When finally convinced that
she could be forced to return with
her mother Bessie agreed to make the
trip back home without giving any
trouble, but promised to leave again If
she is treated as she claims she was
before her departure. "She amt so
bad. and / could stand for her may
be-" said Bessie. "but it's the old man
what makes the trouble. I'm willing to
take the chances OF going back cause
/ can't help myself, but you can Just
back II up that I'll jump again IL
things don't go right. Hattie can stay
home the next time and they'll never
get next to where / jump to. The
most trouble with me mother, is that
she peaches on us; she tells the old
man the least little thing and then he
uses the stick. I'm done with that
stick business for good, and all the
time, and you can bet II they wants
to hold on to their Bess they's got to
do better by me-"
The charge OF cruel treatment as
made by the girls, is denied by Mrs.
Orliff. She says that every thing pos
sible has been done for both girls, and
that when they have been punished
they have deserved IL. my heart is
broken and believe this blow will
kill me-" said Mrs. Orllff to a Morn
