Grace Johnson, Runaway Girl,
Seems to Be of Quite
Romantic Nature.
TRUTH BEING FOUND OUT.
HER HOME is AT WEST lEBA.
NON AND SHE WAS RECENTLY
EMPLOYED AT THE PURviANcE
HOME IN NEW PARIS.

Grace Johnson, the fourteep-vear-old
runaway, whose home the local police
thought was at Kingman. Ind. proves
TO be fugitive from New Paris, o.
Grace is held at the Home for tho
Friendless, from which institution she
esCdPed last week on the same day that
she was captured here by Chief Bailey,
and on receipt of money for transpor-
tation expenses. she will be returned
to the home of her adopted parents,
whose name she bears at kingman
The story told by the Johnson girl
TO Chief Bailey after her arrest last
week proves to be a mass of fabrica-
ton. According to her statement
she ran away from Kingman. where
she was employed in a physicians
family as domestic. and walked all
the way to New Hope.
In letter received by Chief Bailey
frCIa Mr.. Johnson, the adopted father
of tie girl, he gives a sketch of the life
of the youthful runaway. He states
that her parents are still living AZ
West Lebanon, Ind, but that when she
was only three weeks old he and his
wife adopted her. When still a mere
child, Grace was sent to an orphans
home, where she remained until two of
three years ago. She was then given
home in family living at West Leb.
anon. The Johnson's reside at King
man. After living in this family
short time, Grace was returned TO the
orphans home and officers OF that in.
stitution found a home for her In the
family of Mr.. Purviance, who resides
at New Paris.
Grace lived there for short time,
and about three weeks ago suddenly
disappeared and all trace of her was
lost until she was apprehended in Rich.
mond 1t has just developed that
since the disappearance of the girl
from the Purviance home. the John.
sons, her adopted parents, have had an
advertisement, giving her description,
printed daily in the indianapolis Star.
When Mr.. Bailey saw this advertise
ment he at once notified Mr.. Johnson
and he sent word that he would furnish
money to have Grace returned to King
man. Mr.. Purviance told Chief Bailey
| that as far as he knew Grace was q
good girl, but she seemed to have no
idea what the word truth" meant.
Chief Bailey agrees with Mr. Purviance
in this opinion. Grace is quite roman
tic and it is thought that she ran away
from her home at New Paris just from
love of adventure. inspired by con.
slant reading of trashy literature.

She Has Figured in Police
Court Circles for a Quar-
ter of a Century.
BETZOLD is REMINISCENT.
YEARS AGO, WHEN HE TOOK
MoLL TO FRIENOLESS HOME
IN A WHEELBARROW.

Moll Lewis, one of the best known
members of the old guard of police
characters was in police court Wednes-
day afternoon for about the 'steenth
time in Tie course of her stormy ca
reer. AS usual, Moll was charged
with intoXication. AS usual. she plead
guilty. Judge Converse fined her SO
and COSTS SO for the next twenty days
she will be an inmate of the Home for
the Friendless. This is pleasing to
Moll. Life at the home is a source of
much satisfaction to her. The women
in charge Of the Home never protest
when the Lewis woman is sent to that
institution, for she is hard and will
ling worker. The only thing that
keeps the Home from being a dream of
paradise, in the opinion of Moll, is the
absence of booze and chewing tobacco.
When the Lewis woman was arraign-
ed in the city court Wednesday after
noon, Sergeant Betzold, the veteran Of
the force saw her for the first time in
several years. That woman is over
sixty years of age and l know that her
police record extends back as far as
twenty-five years." he remarked. She
don't look a bit older today than she
did twenty-five years ago." he added.
Taken in WheeIbarrow.
After Moll had been hustled away to
the Home in the patrol wagon, Ser
geant Betzold remarked with a smile:
Il took Moll to the Home once in a
wheelbarrow. l arrested her in the
north end, where she had been found
quite drunk in an alley. She said she
would come with me if did not take
her to the Home. I had another drunk
TO take care of and to get her to come
| would take her to police headquar-
ters. After I had locked my other
drunk up in the city Jail, l told Moll
that I was going to take her to the
Home
Mol! rebelled, but finally started out
with me. When we got in front of
Shofer's livery barn Moll refused to
take another step and laid down on the
sidewalk. We did not have a patrol
wagon in those days, so | finally de-
cided the only way to get her to the
Home would be to wheel her there in
a wheelbarrow which was standing in
! front Of the livery barn. called on
gether we wheeled Moll to the Home. -
Since those days Moll has lost all pref
udice against the Home.

He Is Glad to Escape the Ne
cessity to Naming Babies
Without Names.
INTERPRETATION OF LAW.
SECRETARY OF THE STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH MAKES
PLAIN THE PROVISIONS IN
REFERENCE TO BIRTHS.

The naming Of babies is a very inl-
portant task, thinks DR.. J. n. Hurry,
secretary of the state board of health,
and he has made known his beliefs %
DR.. Charles s. Bond, secretary of the
local board Of health.
In addition to this, DR.. Hurry also
apprises DR.. Bond, that the health of
ficers of the state have no power
whatever to name the children, after
twenty days have expired after birth,
as was the first conception of the new
state law. DR.. Bond for a time feared
that this was the case. and therefore
studied long and hard on a list of pret-
ty names to be bestowed on children
whose parents We're just the least bit
delinquent along this line. DR.. Bond
is now happy that the task does not
devolve upon him, as he says he prob
ably will escape the life long abuse of
displeased parents.
The message from Dr. Hurry also
says that unless the parents name
their child before the expiration of the
time for filing the supplemental birth
reports, the physicians shall file them
with the name of the child given In
fant Jones" or Infant Smith, as the
case may be. Parents consequently
must suffer the consequences if a rec
ord is depended upon to prove the birth
of the child 1t is thought that this
feature alone is enough to stimulate
new parents to action in naming their
children.

COURT AGREES TO THIS.

Edward Decker, against whom the
police have held an affidavit for as
sault and battery, filed by his wife.
since last August, returned TO Rich
mond recently and Wednesday was
arrested. Mrs. Decker appeared at
police headquarters and asked that
her husband be not prosecuted on the
charge she had filed against him.
In the city court Prosecutor Jessup
recommended to Judge Converse that
the prosecution of the case be indefi-
nitely suspended pending the good be-
havior OF the accused. He stated that
Decker had young child and that the
the little one would suffer if its faith
er were imprisoned. Judge Converse
