RUNAWAY GIRL
ISFOUND HERE
Good Detective Work Of of1cer
SchIey In Locating missing
Person
81 SpeeiaI oo,rsspondent.

TOTTENVILLE. August 1-Ange-
lima Passalacqua, eighteen years old,
who ran away from her home at 226
East Seventy-third street, Manhattan,
Wednesday night, came to Staten Is
land yesterday and was found wander
ing about the streets of T~ottenvi1le
shortly after z o'clock last night by
Acting Detective Sergeant Schley, of
the Ninth Branch Bureau. Angelina
had left home at 11:45 o'clock We'd
nesday night, according to her story
and her mother, who discovered that
she had gone reported 1t to the police
and an alarm was sent Il for her at
2:55 o'clock yesterday morning to ev-
cry station house in the greater city.
When Schley read the alarm and
the description of the slip of a girl
weighing but 100 pounds and five feet
tall his trained instinct as a detective
fixed the girls looks in his mind.
Shortly after 7 o'clock last night as he
was going to his home he saw the girl
at Fisher avenue and Arthur Kill
road, which answered the description
of the missing girl with the excep-1
tion of the shoes. He spoke to Ange-
lima and asked her if she was not the
girl that ran away from home. She
denied it at first, but when taken to
the station houes she broke down and
confessed. When she left homo she
took with her forty-three dollars that
she had taken from a handbag belong
ing to her mother. She still a thtr-
ty-eight dollars left.
She told the police hat her home
was not a happy one, that her father
whipped her and that her mother
did not allow her much freedom as the
usual story. The main trouble she
said was that she had worked at a
shirt waist factory for four weeks and
that her mother thought she did moi
bring enough money home. When she
started to learn she got 81 per week
and when she became an operator she
only could make $5.72 per week. That
caused all the trouble and she de-
cided to leave home. Packing up her
belongings after every n in the
house had retired she slipped out of
the house. She took the elevated train
as far as Fourteenth street, where she
got off. She wandered along Third
avenue and finally succeeded in OBJ
tanning lodging near Fifteenth street
for 81.
She got up at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning and rode down to South
Ferry. After wandering around there
for some time she came over to Staten
Island and landed in Tottenville at
3;15 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. At
ter applying to several places for
rooms and being refused she took a
taxi to Fisher avenue, where she was
found by the detective. Her parents
were notified and her mother came
down to Tottenville last night at IL
o'clock and look the girl back home.
