POOR WOMAN
NEEDS HELP

A pitiful case of a deserted wife who
is about to become a mother was call
ed to the attention of Chief Austgen
this morning. Her name is Mrs. Bigott
and over six months ago she was de-
serted by her husband. According to
her story which was told at the Cen
tral police station, she has been living
with married sister at t55 Grover
street, who turned her out of the house
yesterday, refusing to give her shelter.
The woman is solely dependent upon
herself and on account of her weak
condition is unable TO work. Chief
Austgen started an Investigation this
morning and hopes to find some means
of caring for her. Any one who will
give a suggestion or is able to lend a
helping hand will be greatly appre-
ciated.
