Of that city. The story of the rescue
Of this pretty 17-year- old Russian
Polish girl from forced life of shame
IL az sensational as it is pathetic the
story she tellsl of the manner in which
she was tricked by the man who pro-
fessed to love her, but who is suspected
Of being one of the band of Macquer-
eaux, secret clan founded years ago
in Paris, now infesting every city OF
any size in the United States and con-
tinental Europe.
Rescued from Resort.
Rosie Stein-which is only name
she took to hide the good name which
she bears-lived for eight days prach-
cally a prisoner of her own choosing
in q room at Mabel Moore's resort on
Pearl street rather than become an IN
mate OF the place. During that time
she kept to her room, weeping bitter
tears Of shame and unable to commun-
icate with any of her country people,
until some young Hebrews of this city
heard Of her plight and rescued her
with difficulty.
One night this week an emissary
from the little band of young men
went to the resort where the girl was
kept and talked with her. She told
him she wanted to leave but that when
she was sent here from Omaha she had
nothing in the shape of clothing save
what scanty attire she wore.
Isadole Kroloff went UP to the Pearl
street resort and says he demanded OF
the keeper of the place that she LEI
the girl 60 Instead, he returned to his
friends who were waiting for him in
the store of L. Baron. All Pearl street.
and told them that the keeper of. the
place had literally thrown him out of
the house.
Desired to Leave Place.
Desiring to avoid publicity, it was
agreed that another member of the
party should go UP and invite the girl
to accompany him to the Family thea
. ter, under the guise that he desired her
company for the evening.
There it was arranged Max Brodky
would meet the girl and her escort and
talk with her. The girl speaks little if
any English, and they conversed in the
native tongue.
Are you satisfied with your present
life?. asked Mr.. Brodky.
mo. have been trying to get away,
but could not. I want to leave. and
am willing to do any kind OF hard
work" the girl replied with sobs.
Then let us talk about your future"
he said
Il am ready to co. she replied.
Then go with me now. l have
rood place among your own people,
where you can have a chance to lead a
respectable life,' Mr.. Brodky replied.
Police Called.
The weeping girl said she desired to
70 back and get what few clothes she
had, and asked that two of the young
men accompany her. When they ap-
preached the keeper Of the place, they
state, that they were refused permits
sion to take the girl with them. After
midnight, unable to rescue the girl,
they appealed to Capsain Bridwell who
sent Officer James to the resort and
the woman released the girl, and she
has since been in the home of a re-
spectacle family on the West Side.
Take her with you, she's no good
here, anyway" the keeper of the resort
is said to have replied, as he reluct-
antly relinquished the girl and her lit
tie satchel of clothing, in the presence
OF the police officer and the two young
men who accompanied her. AT 1880
that morning the door bell at little
West Side cottage rang and the party
was admitted.
Rosie Stein, for the first time IN
months, was assured that she was
among friends, who meant to uplift her
life, but she was still doubtful. because
she had been tricked so much, and was
rescued her. Today she knows that
she is among friends and that every
thing possible will be done to avenge |
Ser traducers and to help her lead q i
lie of responsibility.
Rosie Stein came to this country |
with three brothers and two sisters and |
setted in Canada not long ago. Sub
sequntly her cousin in Chicago sent
her Aticket to visit him. At her cou-
sins lpme Max Solar met her and pre-
tended\to love her. He induced her
to con1a to Omaha, where he told her
they would be married.
For atime there they lived together
He was employed there. but the Sioux
Cityans. vtlo interested themselves in /

that Solar's cousin keeps a resort in
that city.
