GIRL IN KNEE BRtSSE u. Il !
TELLS PIT|FUL STORY.
White Slave Escapes From Parasites Appeals
The Poice-Lle Girl From North the Matron'
Ward in Atlanta Tells Her Experience Money Sup
port and Woman.

One of the most pitiful instances OF
tne white slave traffic ever brought to
light in Atlanta is the case of little
Nettie Lewis, a girl in knee dresses
who until six months ago lived on a
farm near Winston-Salem, N. C.
Since then she has been travelling
about the country, she says, support
ing two parasites, from whom she at
tempted to escape innumerable times,
only to be caught, brought back, cruel
ly treated and forced to continue her
life of shame for the gain of her mas
ter and mistress.
The girl has been held in the mat
ron's ward for the past three days;
while the Atlanta detectives have been
trying to apprehend the man and wo-
man, who brought her to this city.
Their efforts have been futile and ap-
7arently both have escaped from the
city.
Here's the girls story as she told it
IN the matron's ward: "Six months
ago a woman, whom l. have known as
Cassie Cobb, and her friend, H. M.
Burt, asked me to slip away from her
home for a few days trip to Char
lotte. Cassie is from small town in
South Carolina and Burt is originally
from Aberdeen, N. c.. had known
them only d short tim but was
tired OF staying home and wanted to
see Charlotte.
"Since then I don't know where we
have been-all over Alabama, Tenn
essee and Georgia. They travelled as
nan and wife and -was CaSSie'D niece
They forced me to 90 out on the
streets and make money for them.
They would always take my money
away from me an gooR an got 1t
Rnrt said he was horse trader, but
-eMlly he didn't do a thing and the
money / made provided the three OF
up with clothes, board and railroad
fare.
Sometimes I would try to get away,
but they would always catch nae. Burt
told me that he would kill me sooner
or later if kept trying to escape
Both OF them cursed me, and was
terribly afraid, because know that
Burt would really kill me. / have
seen him beat Cassie terribly time
and time again, and one time, when
he knocked her down with q chair,
he accidentally struck me during the
fight" /"
The girl was brought to police
headquarters by the proprietor OF q
local hotel.
On Saturday night she was sent ont
to the street by the woman, it In al
legged. Instead OF going back TO the
Neal house, whore the trio had been

large as it is, however, it would be
impossible to entirely break up the
practice complained of.
II am informed that the State laws
of North Carolina are very drastic re-
iative to the manufacture and safe of
distilled spirits, but it appears that
State officers do very little to prevent
or punish for the violations of the
iaw, though suspect that there are
one hundred State officers to every
one internal revenue officer"

manslaughter in connection with the
killing of c.. G.. sKoFnegay, formerly
of fGOIdsboro, N. c. was acquitted this
afternoon: The iury,s verdict reached

eide whether to appoint commission
to examine her.

the court room. At the same time
