Trusted with 1 the weekly bank account, Madam Ar 1 riola is supposed to have charged the supplies for the household, appropriat- ing the money, and was subsequently, released from the employ.
 1 It was then she went in company 1 with a young girl from one of the San i Francisco department stores to the Hotel St Francis, where she posed as a rich widow, and where she ran bills to large amounts leaving at the end of two weeks. and deserting the young girl who had to face the management and account for the bills left unpaid.
