San Francisco, Jan. 31.-Marian
! prisoner ever seen in the Alameda
county JAIL" faultlessly gowned is on
her way to the Canadian border. to
be deported from this land in which
| she was born.
The moment she crosses the line
| there will be race with death in
which the girl must battle not only
against time and distance. but must
reckon with the immigration author
tiles of the United States.
She is being deported because, for
letting her American citizenship by
marrying Canadian, she entered this
country after being rejected by the
immigration authorities, and without
| the required immigration examination
given all foreigners.
She will race back to San Francis
co to reach the side of her mother,
widow Of the late contractor, John l..
Lenehan, whose physicians say that
she may survive the shock of the
daughters deportation for two weeks.
The mother is very ill and the girl
has been nursing her at their home,

unusual ever known in the immigra-
ton service. One similar case has
occurred here, that of Mrs. Nora Loaf
who was sent back to Victoria. r. c..
for coming into the United States af-
ter being rejected by the immigration
authorities.
! Marian Lenehan was born in Des
MOines. but came here with her par
ents when she was a little girl. AS
she grew toward the end of her teens
she adopted a life that led to an es-
arrangement from her family and which
came to the attention of the immi-
grafton bureau.
Still she was entitled to the rights
Of an American citizen. But in Seat
tie she married Harold Greig, veal
thy Canadian and thus became a citi-
zen of her husbands country.

He was found apparently drunk and
was taken to the city Jail, where he
spent twenty-four hours. Upon his
release it was found that several of
his ribs were broken completely away
, from his spine. and it is thought he
was run down and crushed by an au-
tomobiie.
The daughter attempted to return
to the United States by way OF

her. But she went to Croville, East
