After telling, throds interpre-
ter. the story Of her Sexn life in
Italy up to the time she meI Ruhino
In Genoa, the Vacherrini girl then
took up recital Of the manner in
which she was induced to come to this
country.
II met Giuseppe in Genoa" she
said. HE told me he was looking for
a girl to do some Office work in his
office in that city when he came to an
intelligence Office where my name was
listed. That is the way met him, and
as he offered me the same wages I
was then getting, besides shorter
hours and easier work, accepted the
position and went with him.
"After going to his place I met
Sentina, whom Joe said was his sweet
hart, and they often spoke to me
about coming to America. They show
ed me a photograph Of francesca Ru!-
flno, a brother and continually told
me Of how easy 1t was to make money
In the United States.
Persuaded to Leave Home.
AT last the brother who had been
In this country returned to Italy and
then they all persuaded me to leave
my home and come here. We sailed
from Genoa for New York and landed
In that city May %. We stayed in
New York five days and then all came
on to Chicago where Joe rented 4
house and we all stayed there for q
few days..
"At last Joe said he would take us
to . better place. and the four Of us
went out one night together. We
walked but short distance and then
Joe and Frank stopped at house and
they let US in. After we got inside
Sentina and I were taken down
stairs where our clothing was taken
from us and nothing was left for us
to put on but loose wrapper. Then
we were allowed to come upstairs
where several other girls were sit
ting around.
"Up to that time I had no idea what
sort Of place we were in but found
1t out that night. We were kept there
all night and the next day and night
until about o'clock when Joe came
after us and took US back to the house
where we were living. cried and
told, them that didn't want to 70
back to that house, but about IL

the house. After that they used to
come and take US home every night
about o'clock.
Forced to Remain.
+ I'VE never saw any money at that
house: We would be given brass
cheeks tHEthe padrona and we kept
those checks on string about our
necks. Every Monday Joe or Frank
would come and take the checks from
|-us and get the money from the pa
drona. We never had any money for
ourselves and when would beg them
to let me go and not force me to go
back to the house. Joe or Frank would
threaten to kill me. One time Frank
told me that he would chop my heac
on while ! was asleept If ! didn't do
as he wanted me to and earn more
money. never earned much money
for din't like that kind of life, but
Sentina earned lots of money all O.
which was given. to joe"
The girl then told of the fear which
the keeper of the house expressed, to
the effect that If he kept the two girls
in his place any longer 1T NIGH. get
him into trouble" This was after the
federal officials in Chicago raided sew
eral resorts and captured about fifty
girls who were being kept in nondags.
Brought to Milwaukee.
She said that after that Joe and
Sentina came to Milwaukee while she
and the brother remained in Chicago.
At last, she said, she was brought to
Milwaukee by her keepsr where they
remained four or fvs days and then
started, as she supposed, for New
York to return to Italy. After they ar
rived at Rochester, she said that she
was forced to get of the train and the
two of them went to an Italian board
ing house where they remained until
the police here had arrested Joe and
thus learned Of the brother. Frank
then hurriedly left Rochester, leaving
Enrichetta alone to make her way as
pest She could. She was later found
and brought to Milwaukee to testify
against the man arrested here.
It is said to be probable that after
the trial is completed both girls will
be deported to Italy on the grounds
that they are undesirable emigrants.
II the defendant is convicted, he will
be imprisoned in. federal peniten-
tiary.
Giuseppe Deeply Interested.
While Enrichetta was telling her
story-which was only brought out af-
ter repeated questioning-the defend-
ant. Giuseppe. or Joe, sat nearby, his
face pale, eagerly following the testi-
mony as II fell from her lips in their
native tongue. He Is about IS years
old. and is evidently somewhat OF a
fop. for he is carefully dressed and is
apparently we'll educated. sentina, the
other girl, also sat in the court room
watching the face of the man who
ruined her with wistful and plying
eyes. She can talk some English and
has expressed her pity for "Joe" and
