ETHEL MITCHELL
BROUGHT BACK
ARRESTED WITH COMPANIONS
AIT RED0ND0
DECLARES THAYER ENTIRELY
INNOCENT OF WRONG
Girls Say They Were Tired of Door
of Hope, and Had Decided to
Visit San Diego and
Mexico

Ethel Mitchell, the 16-year-old girl
who ran away from the Door Of Hope,
$500 South Main street, Friday night
the night her brother, William Mitchell
shot and killed the girls friend, Cecil
Thayer, for an alleged wrong done the
girl-was brought to Los Angeles from
Redondo yesterday. With her were
Irene Hi1lin, 16 years old, and Ruth
Robioheaux, Is years old, who also ran
away from the Door of Hope.
The detective department received
word from the Redondo authorities yes
terday morning that three girls answer
ing the descriptions Of the runaWayS
had stayed in a hotel there over night.
Detectives Zeigler and Hawley left for
the beach town and found the girls.
They returned shortly after 1 o'clock
and took their prisoners to the cetral
station.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell were notified
that their daughter had been found and
were waiting for her in the detectives
office. The aged couple appeared
heartbroken at the turn of affairs and
tears rolled down their cheeks when
their child, whose eyes were swollen
from weeping, walked into the room.
While the girl was being questioned by
the detectives and her parents her two
companions were telling their story of
adventure since their escape from the
mission.
They seemed to take the matter as
huge joke, and told with great glee
Of the time they had. Both were quite
willing to talk.
1--WE had decided to leave the place
and had made the plans early last
week. We wanted to leave because we
were not satisfied, and believed we
could do better by going to work. We
left the place without any one seeing
us, caught a street car and rode to
town. We had a little money which we
obtained by borrowing from some of
the other girls. We got a transfer to
Boyle Heights car, and after much
trouble found where Cecil Thayer
lived. We entered the house and hard
ly had time to ask where Cecil was
when George Coulter came running in
and said Cecil was shot.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-01-04
Proud of Escapade

The girls seemed proud of their es-
capade, told their story in a matter-of-
fact manner and seemed to care little
what punishment would result from
their attempt to escape.
They denied that the three bows
seen lettering near the Door of Hope
the night they made their escape had
anything to do with their leaving the
place. One OF the boys, they said. lived
in that neighborhood and they were
not acquainted with any of them.
When Miss Mitchell had concluded
her interview with her parents she
rejoined her companions and corrobo-
rated their story. She declared she
loved Thayer. and tears rolled down
her cheelsc when she answered in the
affirmative the question of whether
she was sorry he was dead
She positively denied having been in
innate with. the dead man. and said
he intended to marry her She stated.
however, that her parents believed she
had been wrOnged by Thayer, and that
her brother also shared their belief.
She admitted that Thayer often gave
her money and said he gave her a dia-
mOnd ring at Christmas
The girl admits having been wronged
by another young man seven months
ago, but is positive in her assertion that
Thayer always acted in a gentIemanly
manner toward her.
When asked if she realized the posi-
ton of her brother she replied she did,
but declared she was telling the truth
regardless Of whether it would go
against the slayer or not.
''We left the home because we
wanted to go to work." said Miss
Mitchell. 1--WE went to the Thayer
home because 1 wanted to see Cecil and
get some money from him. Irene, Ruth
and 1 planned to go to San Diego. We
thought we could get work there One
of the girls had some friends there
and we wanted to get as far away as
possible from this place.
II am so sorry Cecil is dead. 1 loved
to get married later. My brother never
greatly shocked and surprised when |
heard about it.
Il had known Cecil for about two
years. He was a good boy and we
loved each other. About seven months
ago a young man took me home from
work and Wronged me. I told nv
mother that night and 1 was taken into
the juvenile court on account of it,
The I was sent to the Door of Hope.
never told Cecil why I was sent there. -
At times the girl would seem deeply
affected and tears would roll down her
cheeks. Then she would brighten up
and tell her story in an offhand wav
as if she did not care how things went.
Her statement to the effect that
Thayer and she were not intimate
probably will injure her brother unless

Learn of Shooting

ETHEL was greatly shocked and we
felt bad about it. She seemed to be
dazed and did not hear that Cecil had
been shot by her brother. We knew the
police would be out there, so we de-
cided to leave at once
I'VE came to town and went to Sew
enth and Central avenue, to a house
where Irene formerly worked. The
woman owed her some money. She
paid Irene and we went to Sixth and
Main streets and caught a Glendale
car. We rode to the end of the line,
then walked quite a distance and
stayed all night in the hills. We were
not cold or frightened, and passed a
pleasant night.
1--WE had our suit case with us and
had no trouble combing our hair and
making ourselves presentable when we
aWoke next morning. We caught a car
and came back to town. We had
planned to go to San Diego and from
there into Old Mexico. This was be-
fore we left the mission.
I'VE alighted at the Huntington
building and walked to Spring street
There we met a friend of Irene's and
she borrowed some money from him.
Ethel insisted on buying a paper to
learn more about the killing, and that
was the first she knew of her brother
being the one who killed Cecil
1--WE then decided to go to Rednodo.
We went to Fourth street and boarded
car. We arrived at Redondo about
IL o'clock, walked along the beach and
in the evening secured rooms at a
hotel and retired.
1--WE had met a man in plain clothes
who said he was an officer. He told
us he thought we were the girls who
ran away from the Door of Hope, but
we declared we were not. We met him
Saturday evening and saw him again
Sunday morning. He must have noti-
fled the Los Angeles police, for we were
arrested shortly afterward.'

three teachers of piano in the Con-
servatory of Music and Miss Helen
Beebee an advanced pupil of DR.

beautiful. This almost faultless per-

Flour ExceIs That of Years Aoo.

there mas been an open discussion of
tate among millerS, which is particular
~ interesting In cities where flour mill
ing IS one of the chief industries, whe-
ther the -four as milled now is as fine
quality as it was many years ago
WHEN patent -four was first millcd in
Minneapolis. Most of the millers in
slst that modern flour is superior to
any tPat was ever milled. while others,
especially the old timers, claim that
wheat Hour as manufactured by the
Washburn Crosby Co years ago was
so good as to make Improvement a diff
ficult matter.
Inc Washburn Crosby Co. has decid-
ed the question emphatically, and all
through chance, and the modern -four
comes out winner Dv several shades
OF Whiteness. 1t is explained by those
who are familiar with the history OF
the company that II years ago a
scheme was thought out for packing
l1our in cartons for domestic use.
The idea was thought to be so good
that large number of four pound car
tons were ordered manufactured and
the Washburn-C Crosby flour put I'D ir
that shape. But it was too great a de-
parture from custom and the carton
idea at that time was not thought tc
be practical. SO the new scheme was
abandoned
The other day one of those four
pound cartons, packed IA years ago
was brought to light, and it was al
once seen that here was an opportunit,
for comparison with the flour being
milled at the present time. A tes
showed that the flour had kept wei
during the long period of ID years, anc
had only deteriorated slightly in min.
or function. Compared with the new
Hour it was found to be coarser, anc
not as white as the Gold Medal foul
now milled by this company The find
ing of the old carton has set at rest al
arguments as to the comparative dual
ity of the -four now being millcd il
Minneapolis and that of a decade ant
half ago.
