The story Of Louise Schwartz, as told
exclusively in Saturdays Herald. proved
to be a revelation artd distinct surprise
TO those vino know her and her family.
That she is Il modern Sapphira, and OK
ceptionally adept in the gentle art of ly-
ing is. however. the general conclusion.
and her confession of being a bold. bad
burglar and that she had lived life Of
thievery is laughed at. Those who know
her say that she was peculiar and IL is
believed that the fantastic tales she tells
OF her part IN crime are simply the wild,
vague utterinSs of dream IN which she
pictures herself enacting the role OF the
heroine saving the vim whom
infatuated from the prison.
Although to the Denver police she as
serted that she is % years old, she is little
more than l6. She left Salt Lake and her
home last August, wnen she followed
Pretzenbe-ger TO Denver. As tod in The
Herald, Pretzenberger had been an inmate
OF the Schwartz home until the father
discovered that he had betrayed the
daughter Immediately after the disap-
pearance OF PretzenberSer, his victim
Louise. left her home. evidently following
Pretzenberger to Denver.
Her parents. although they had en-
pioyed the police in the search for their
daughter. were ignorant of her where
aoouts until. last Wednesday, a woman
for whom the girl had formerly worked
called up the father. Joseph Schwartz
at the / Y l. furniture store where he
is employed. and told him that she had
just received a Denver paper contain
ing the photograph of his daughter and
s story detailing her arrest. Mr.. Schwartz,
accompanied by his wife. left Thursday
for Denver and upon arriving there iden-
tilted the girl held in custody as their
daughter.
in this connection a curious sidelight is
thrown on the girls character and her
ability as an accomplished liar. When
she was arrested she told the police that
her parents had long been dead Wed
: nesday evening, when Chief Of Police
Armstrong Of Denver received a telegram
from Mr.. Schwartz saying that he was
leaving for Denver. the chief went 70
the matron's quarters and taking the
girl TO one side, asked
Are your parents still living?'
They are dead" was the reply. Il
guess ! ought TO know. | attended the
funerals of both in Salt Lake"
We'll" responded the chief, with some
heat. you're a liar, and you know it.
Here is a telegram from your father.
He and your mother will be here to-
morrow and you VIII have a chance TO
see just how dead they are.
At this. and for the first time since her
arrest Louise Schwartz lost her bravado
and broke down She would make no
explanation. but running to a cot threw
herself upon IL and. burying her face in
the pillow. she gave vent to her feelings
in sobs and tears.
Two years ago Louise Schwartz was
employed in a millinery store in Salt
six months. and was kept on three months
reason that she had made no advance
ment. II is said at the store that during
her service there she was regarded as
