ALMS-SEEKER Is
KILLED BY CAR
Twelve Year-Old Syrian Girl
Run Down While Begging
on Street

Darling in front OF Fourteenth
line car, late Saturday night, while
begging aims from pedestrians on
Beaubien-st, near Illinois-st., Annie
Efraim Yotsitch, 12-yearold Syrian
girl, was run down by the car and
fatally crushed, dying before she
could be taken TO Grace hospital In
police auto. Her body was taken
TO the county 'morgue, after the car
crew had been threatened by menac-
ing mob OF the excitable residents OF
the neighborhood.
Through the fact that the child was
unable to speak word Of English,
and was forced to resort 70 signs In
her quest of aims, the report that she
was deaf and dumb gained currency,
but her father, Efraim Yotsitch, stat
ed TO Coroner Burgess that the
child's hearing was excellent, and
that she could speak huently In her
native tongue.
Tribal custom Of the foreigners
also made II impossible for the cor
oner to learn the child's name, until
late Monday morning, and In the
meantime, she was recorded as Annie
Efraim. That was the name by which
she was known, as 1t Is the custom
to bestow the fathers first name on
female child.
The father admitted TO the coroner
that the girl was sent out to beg on
the streets. and before calling at the
coroner's oflre to view the little body,
he and his family went to the ID. U. X.
Offices to sea about getting pay for
the little girls life," the coroner
stated.
