PSEUDO DEACONES.S CANNOT
RESIST IMPULSE TO STEAL

when all were opening their hearts
and homes at the time of San Fran
cisco's distress.
Clad in Quaker gray with a little
coquettish cap perched on her stately
head, Miss Hunter was daily seen at
the Arcade station helping to minister
to the needs Of the tired and Ill from
the stricken city Of the north.
Her work won commendation from
all who met her, and when she fell
falnting from exhaustion one day, Mrs.
Lyman A. Craig bade her welcome to
her beautiful home at 803 West Thir-
teenth street.
While there it is said that the beauti-
full deaconess nurse began to inquire
from the servants about Mrs. Craig's
jewelry and valuables.
She left that home under n cloud, II
is said, and next took UP her abode
with Mrs. w. II. Packard, 1914 West
Twentieth street.
When she left Mrs Packard It Is
Gained that she took with her purse
containing small sum.
Officials Denounce Her
Denounced as an impostor by church
people, by the officials of the Associated
Charities and by the matron Of the
Deaconess' home, the police were asked
to investigate the career of "Deaconess
Leighton" and the investigation re-
suited i'm her arrest by Sergeant Craig
while the floral parade was winding its
way down Spring stret.
At the police station the young wom-
an became tearfully indignant and bit
terly reproached the officers for the in
dignity of her arrest. But on the fol-
lowing day. confronted by damaging
evidence, the woman broke down and
confessed her wrongdoing.
When her short sentence has expired
It is said that the police will advise her
to seek some other abode.

CHIEF Of POLICE
PRAISES OFFICERS
COM MANDATORY LETTER Is
POSTED IN STATION
Action Taken Because Members of
Force Kept Criminal Glasses
Within Bounds During
Fiesta Week

An open letter of commentator for
the efficient work done by the police
during Fiesta has been issued by Chief
Auble and Captain Broadhead and
posted in conspicuous place at the
police station.
According to the records there we're
few arrests during the week, except for
drunkenness. One measure of precau-
ton taken by Chief Auble and Detec-
tive Captain Flamrner kept away many
eastern crooks. Letters were sent to
every chief of police in the country ask
ing them to forward descriptions of
noted crooks who operated as pick
pockets, burglars and confidence men.
Send Crooks Away
Detectives stationed at the Arcade,
Santa Fe and Salt Lake stations were
able to size up many arriving crooks
from descriptions and these undesir-
able visitors were told to take train
for some other point.
Another measure which helped rid
the city of bad men during the past
week was a thorough rounding-up of
suspicious characters during the past
month.
Many men were told to leave the city
on penalty of being locked up and ac-
cording to detectives Los Angeles was
remarkably free from crooks during the
Fiesta. But few robberies were re-
ported and the week proved to be a
normal one, although many expected
that it would prove a carnival Of crime.

Leaning with her dlmpled chin rest
ing in the upturned palms Of her white
hands, Florence Hunter, otherwise
known as "Deaconess Leighton" gazed
from a cell window at the city Jail
yesterday, listless and forlorn.
In her deaconess garb Miss Hunter
played an emotional role that opened
hospitable doors to her In Los Angeles
and afforded opportunities for petty
thefts.
OF a peculiar, dreamy, sometimes
morbid disposition, Miss Hunter has
been puzzle to the police. She says
she is a puzzle to herself sometimes.

The woman with the heavy masses of
what poets call Titan hair is suspected
of many petty acts Of theft. but the
police were merciful and accepted her
plea of guilty Saturday. She is now
