nigkt she and friends whom she had en-
listed in her scheme of escape started
a fire In the bathroom OF the hous" and
put into operation a deeply planned plot
to free herself and her accompl5ces from
the restraints OF the institution.
Wealthy found Coney Island to her
liking a week ago.. and in the fcrvid
whirl OF affairs at that pleasure ground
provoked police interference. She was
then sent to the Institution.

upon her. Wealthy suggested to some of
the other girls to get up some excite
ment. She and five others met in a
room On the third floor OF the house yes
terday afternoon and there worked out
the details of the plot,

procure the only matches In the house.
Those were in the room of Mrs. Davis,
the ~housekeeper. A bundle of papers
was to be collected In the bathroom and
lgnited. Down In the hallway two girls
were to give ar alarm OF fire. two
other girls were to be stationed in the
front or the mouse. and they were to call
for the Fire department.

hallway gave the alarm prematurely.
Mrs. Davis heard t:.e commotion and
rushed out Into the hall. In a twink
ling she hi the nre in the bathroom
eNllnguished.

the institution affords.
