LAW and LAWYERS -- A young girl named Fanny CARRICK was lately placed in the San Francisco
House of Refuge, by the efforts of citizens. She was about to begin a life of infamy in
the house of the notorious Belle Cora. The girl escaped from the institution and was
captured by the Superintendent of the House, while she was riding out in Belle Cora’s
carriage. Her counsel, Judge FREELON and H.H. BYRNE, (furnished by Belle Cora) succeeded
in wresting the girl from the hands of the Superintendent by means of habeas corpus, and
she is now probably “safely” lodged in Belle Cora’s brothel. The ‘Alta’ says that the
mother of the girl is a dissolute woman who aids these lawyers in their “noble” efforts.
