Occasionally one Of these girls talks to the
wrong person. Some idea Of what happens to
the girl then may be gained by referring to the
case of Dixie Dixon.
The real story OF her death may never be
known, The police can only supply such infor-
nation as contained IN the testimony of
Martin j. Ryan, chauffeur, who carried the dy-
ing girl to Harlem Hospital.
According TO his story, he met Dixie Dixon
the night Of her death when she was searching

did not say that he was a close companion to the
girl He knew, Of course, she had mad her days
of grandeur, but she didn't appear TO be particu-
larly depressed over her lost estate.
He made the rounds of the downtown
cabarets with her. Ryan said. About 10 o'clock
the girl exclaimed
