thought he has fed the city but detec-
tives were on his trail early today.
The raid followed complaints made
to the Anti-cruelty Society and the
Health Department by neighbors, who
say they often heard sounds OF merri-
ment in the asylum.
Mrs. Mary Lillian. until a week ago
employed at the place. was the FIRST to
tell of the midnight merriment and
the severe beatings administered to the
little orphans in the home.
The Sisters of Mercy" are Helen

enger, 10 years old; Fidelia LAZARUS,
20 years old, and Sarapheni Pointer Is
years old.
The Mysliverse girl told the police
how the home was maintained and how
de Lubicz conducted himself. She de-
MED that the children at the institu-
ton were mistreated but asserted that
sometimes they, were ''chastised for be-
ing unruly.''
IT have been at the home for a long
time. but I never kept count Of the
many dollars I turned over to Father
de Lubicz.f she said. we were not
permitted to keep track OF any of the
money handled by us. for that was
one Of the vows we took when we got
the veil. The place Is not so bad as
the neighbors would have you believe,
for there were no scenes there at any
time. We are Sisters of Mercy and
are doing a lot OF good work In that
part of the city. for there are always
lots OF little orphans In the home"
The police will make further investi-
CATION of the home and will probably
ask that the four girls under arrest
be sent to home elsewhere. The or
phans will be taken care of.
