veteran editor. who is a standby of

SECURED HER FREE TICKET
Clever Ruse Practiced by Los Angeles
Woman to Get Transportation
to Chicago.

A woman obtained a free ticket to
Chicago yesterday by novel method
OF extortion. She called one of the
managers of a downtown department
store to the telephone.
1--WE got the smallpox" she said. 1T
doesn't show yet, but | have it. If I
can get to Chicago | can get all the
help | need, but if stay here shall
have to go to the county pesthouse. I
want you to send me a ticket to Chi
cago, and If you don't I'm coming to
your store, get sick there, and you
will have to quarantine the whole
place"
Then she detailed her plan to es-
cape detection. She demanded that
the store manager should give the en-
velope containing the money q ticket
to a messenger, the first messenger to
give it to a second, who would meet
the first at Sixth and Olive streets,
and the second would give the envel-
ope to a third at Fifteenth and Yer
mont avenue.
The department store notified the
police and then consented to the wom-
ans demands. The envelope was
turned over to a messenger boy, who
called. The police followed him to
Sixth and Olive streets. where a Sec
ond messenger awaited. They fol-
lowed the second boy to the Vermont
meeting place. The police were in an
automobile. The third messenger had
a motorcycle. He dashed up Vermont
avenue. turned cross-town, and circled
back, came into town, dashed through
a congested crossing, and disappeared
In the traffic while the police motor
car was delayed at the crossing.-Lof
