would have thought it was a nice
place"
The girl testified that Allen urg-
ed her To swear that they were
married, "and we will get out Of
trouble all right" At his persist
ent urging she told the people in
the rooming house that she was
married, then told Patrolman Pry-
or the same thing. Later she con-
fessed TO the officer that it was
through fear that she told him she
was Aliens wife. Allen said he
was married TO her and that they
had two children.
Aliens attorneys tried to show
that the little girl had been guilty
Of misconduct before coming to
Louisville, but even though the
Judge ruled that she not answer,
her straightforward story was told
anyhow and completely established
her innocence. Allen took the girl
up the river with excursion parties
and because she had few wraps, he
gave her 81 to buy some clothing.
She was afraid TO use it for any,
thing else, she said. She had ask
ed him for change" before, but her
requests had been refused. Marie's
mother came to Louisville last
night and was present at the trial.
She will take her daughter home.

HEART-BREAKING
STORY OF GIRL
Who Was Betrayed by a
Supposed Friend.

MAN HELD UNDER $1,000 BOND

The Louisville Times says:
Curtis Allen, the young man who
was arrested Saturday afternoon,
July 29, By Patrolman James Pryor
on a charge OF enticing fourteen
year-old Marie Burke, the pretty
golden-haired daughter of a Lex
ington, KY, trained nurse, to this
city nearly a week before and keep
ing her in a room with him until
the time he was arrested, was held
10 the grand jury at the conclusion
Of his examining trial in Police
Court before Judge Goecke In the
sum Of $1,000 on the charge OF
criminal assault.
Little Marie told a heart-break-
ing story of the actions of man
who through months OF acquaint-
ance with her and her mother had
gained the respect OF both, and
then had thrown it away In the
most ruthless and revolving man
ner. Her story could not be doubt
ed. and it was not questioned by
the counsel for the prosecution or
the defense, except to bring out
points that she barely touched in
the recital.

lens ofense, whether it was de-
tanning a girl under fifteen years
old or whether it was criminal as
sault. could have been less pardon
able" said City Prosecutor Robin
son. The defense asked for his
dismissal on the charge of rape
because of its improbability."
As shown in the examining trial,
Marie Burke told her mother she
was going to the country and re-
ceived forty cents-enough for car
fare both ways. She came, instead,
to Louisville with Allen because he
promised to get her a nice room by
herself and to show her a good
time. lie took her to one Of the
parks on Monday night, July "a,
and, returning late, escorted her to
a house at 115 West Walnut, the
owner of which has once been in

house. The house has a most I'M
savory reputation. Allen sat in the
room with the girl for more than
an hour while she waited for him
to leave. Then he told her 1t was
too late 10 get another room. He
stayed with her every night in that
room until he YVES arrested.
Marie heard a woman who was
cleaning the rooms Friday after
noon say that the house had been
indicted and saturday morning
she prepared to go home. but she
had no money. Allen had paid her
fare TO. Louisville, but refused to
pay II back to Lexington. "The

"Genevra" is a play in SIX acts Of

old armour chest which has a spring
lock, and is buried alive. Upon the
mystery Of the lost bride hinges the
plot to this play.
