TYPEWRITER TELLS
GIRLS REAL NAME
Play of Mysterious WATTS Fingers on
Keys Reveals Identity She Had
Sought to Conceal from the Author

illtN.
st. Paul, MinR.-The desire of Mol
lie Gold aged IA years, to learn to
write on a typewriter in the office of
the clerk of the juvenile court betray-
ed to the officials her real name and
solved in part a mystery of a month
as to who the clever and attractive
little romancing girl wa,f really is.
Mollie came to st. Paul about a
month ago, unaccOmpanied, and told
a pathetic tale Of the death of her
parents within a month of each other
in New York and of having been Sent
west by a Mrs May Roberts. She said
her father had been a travelling rabbi.
The police wired a New York Jew
ish society and received a reply that
Mollie Gold was not known there.
In the meantime Mrs. Morris Axle
rod of 29S st. Anthony avenue gave
Mollie a home.
Mollie was brought into court to-
day for further examination, as the
officials were not sure she was tell
ing the whole truth, and then came
the fatal experiment with the type
writer. She wrote a note to a re-
porter. who, after reading It. turned
the sheet over and found that uncon-
sciously Mollie had written "Mollle
Goldberg" instead of "Mollie Gold,
on the other side.
She was angry when the discovery
was made and fought for the posses
sion of the paper.
on being questioned she admitted
Goldberg was her name and that her
father was Benjarsin Goldberg a tall
or. residing at 1865 Western avenue in
Chicago. She said she attended the
Marquette school.
The court turned over the girl to
the matron at the Jail, and IN the
meantime the Chicago officials were
notified.
