MOTHER Wanted
CORN-HUSK BED

brought to the attention OF the Blu
reau OF Police this morning in the
arrest OF Mrs Hannah Bernardo and
her two children. James. aged 13
years. and Mary. aged IL years. on
the charge Of trespass.
Complaint was made to the police
by the owner OF a field at Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Brlnckley street.
that the woman and children were
stealing corn-husks. Patrolman
Leonard Skepski was sent out there
and brought the trio to the police
station. where the woman told a pitt
ful tale OF poverty.
She said she had six children to
provide for. the youngest being six
years of age. As she had NO suhi-
cient bedding for them she to5K two
of the older children and gathered
from the fiilds a few corn-husks to
make a bed for her family. thinking
that the corn-husks were OF no spe-
cial value and would provide COM
fort for her children at night.
After hearing the woman's state
ment, Captain Kelleher sent her and
the two children TO the Detention
House, S14 Washington street, where
they will be cared for until the Ju-
venile Court can care for the child
