This is case where feel that the
past should be forgotten" said Miss

Miss Conrad, providing she does not re-
turn to live with Garland l do not
think there Is any danger of her doing
that. We have taken Miss Conrad from
her boarding house and placed her In

Fascinated by His Personality
II know that Miss Conrad is now
living a pure life. am also sure she
never erred before she met Garland.
She comes of good Philadelphia fam
lily and was simply led astray under
the fascination of the mans person

league to do but to stand behind this
girl. II we turned her out now l do
not know what would become OF her."

The whole world, Miss Conrad SEEM
