the state of California, combed the
tenderloin in search of witnesses
to swear away the reputation of
this young girl. Almost at the out
set three of them were arrested
for perjury. The case of one is be-
ing investigated by the grand jury.
They We're eX-prizefighters, tender
loin messenger boys, cafe owners,
and walters from the "Barbary
Coast"
When a young messenger boy
perjured himself by detailed re-
counting of night of merry-mak-
ing with Ethel Williams, when two
bell boys, afterward arrested for
perjury, recounted a fabricated
adventure of the young girls at a
well known down town hotel, the
club women sat unmoved through
the evidence which was afterWard
proven false and gave the frail lit
tie complaining witness, in her
cheap clothes and pathetic home
made hats, invaluable support.
If the arraignment of this man
has proven nothing else. it has
proven that a new consciousness
and a new breadth of feeling over
the victims of such men is being
felt by women, especially the club
women and the social workers of
the cities. 1t was the consistent
attitude of an inconsiderable body
of women that took the case of
this pretty defenseless little girl
out of the degrading oblivion of
the police court, forced it into the
superior court, and focused the at
tention of men and women in every
walk of life on the doubtful meth
DDS the defense resorted to in
order to save a millionaire from
the penitentiary.
The trial resulted in a disagree
ment of the jury and now Ethel
Williams must again bare her soul

again.

when people admired her and gave
her pretty things" because she had
never had them before. She was
then 10 years old.
When she met this rich doctor
with his automobiles, his presents,
his fine dinners and glittering
promises, her poor little curly head
was absolutely turned. She had
never in her life had plenty of
clothes, or even enough of any
sort, and when this new wonderful
person begged her to come to Los
Angeles and marry him and tell
not even her mother until after
wards, she believed him and went.
She told of her black awakening
when after a few days the man
who had promised to marry her
laughed at her pleading and told
her he had a wife, of her coming
home to San Francisco to her
mother, and finally taking up her
old work, once more beset by JOS
len with fresh promises. She told
of his overtures to her little sis

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. IS
a child, wage-earner since
her thirteenth year, Ethel Will
liams, complaining witness in the
trial of DR.. Otto c. Joslen. wealthy
physician of this city, on a charge
of betrayal under promise of mar
riage, has had to bare her very
soul to bring to trial this wealthy
Specialist.
From first to last the trial of
this seventeen-year-old girl has
been a terrible demonstration of
the pitiless plight of the poor and
defenseless in the so-called courts
of justice. At the outset the girls
case was rescued from the police
court. where it was providing en-
tertainment for tenderloin habi-
tues.
Ethel, on the first painful day
when her story was told in the
lower court, was attended by her
younger sister, Hazel, and her
mother. The place was packed to
the doors with the usual tender
loin habitues, always on the watch
for entertainment in the police
courts. Mrs. Williams and the sis
ter, as witnesses to be later intro
dueed, were excluded, and the girl
faced alone the crowd, the leering
officials, and the insulting lawyers
of the rich physician. Her plight
was discovered by Miss Ray Walt
sohn, settlement worker, who raj
lied the club women to the support
of the girl.
The picture of this child in the
police court, when she told the
sordid pitiful story of her undoing,
will never be forgotten by the wo-
men who heard it. Trying to es-
cape the rabid amusement of hun
dreds of eyes under the shadow of
her cheap little hat, her great blue
heavily fringed eyes lifted now and
then in frightened pleading, her
little face growing roster under the
battery of cruel questions, she was
a pitiful example of police court
justice. The presiding Judge join
ed with the Joslen attorneys to
confound this child, whose sin had
been to be born with lovely face
and to be forced to earn her liv-
ing.
She told from the stand in the
police court of her brief childhood,
of being forced with her mother
out into the world, that the rent
might be paid and the little sister
kept in school. She told of the
different candy shops where she

HaCraCe GreeEy's Ride.

ly's Ilde in a stage coach while
on his tour of the west ia 1885
has been told SO many time.
that it has become too old fol
repetition. However, there
are some interesting incidents
in his visit to Denver and the
mining camps on that memor
able tour which have never
been printed. Mr.. Greely
was editor of the New York
Tribune and with him came
the editor of the Boston Jour
nal as well as the editor Of the
Cincinnati Commercial. These
three men represented the
best periodicals in the country
at that time and it was realized
that their reports of conditions
and progress in the great
Pixies Peak region would
either increase or diminish the
public interest, then so mani
fest in that district. The re-
ports of rich gold mines where
fortunes were picked out of
the sand and gravel every day
by men who had notthe means
to pay a weeks board, were
TO goodforthecredu lty of tho G
editors and they resolved to
come,and see.
/ Fortunately at this time the
great discovery and rush to
Gregory's Gulch was on in full
blast. Therich 6eldsat Jack
sons creek placer on Chicago
were also in evidence. The
rich gold deposits were to be
seen on every hand. In Den
yer they saw the largest gold
nugget ever found in placer
mining. In some instances a
single sluice box produced
$500 or $500 in single day.
These wise t.len from the east
were convinced on the spot
and their accounts and pre-
dictions are interesting to read
now since fifty odd years have
sufflced to prove them.
Horace Greely was a man
of great foresight and these
are some of his predic ions as
to the outcome of this new
district. He noted the scar
city and high prices of all lcom-
and the uncertainty
OF a sufficient supply when
everything had to be hauled
700 miles oyer a country in
tested by Indians. He saw
great ealamityin thenearfuture
for all who stayed, He said

stages and freight wagons
would stop when winter once
set in. Thousa IDS would
perish from cold and hunger
in this barren region where no
help could be had short of
700 miles.
However much Mr.. Greely
enjoyed the hospitality aud
admired the open honesty of
our people, he gave a very
discouraging prophesy as to
the future of the Pixies Peak
region. AT the same time he
gave a very a >cu~ate report
of the rich finds of gold. His
predictions did not come ue.
There was very little scarcity
of food and no real suffering
in the district that winter.
Many of the placer miners be-
gan to dig tunnels and shafts
before winter came and most
of them had pay dirt from the
beginning. Nature was also
favorable to this new country.
The winter was open and mild
throught. When spring came
the country took on renewed
vigor. The first great obsta-
