YOUNG GIRL TELLS SAD TALE
COMPELLED TO LEAD VILE LIFE IN SAN FRANCISCO
Miss Leta Baxter, of This City, Ran Away From Her Home Six Weeks Ago and
Tells of Life of Sin and Degradation to Police.
Miss Leta BAXTER, a pretty Sacramento girl, only 16 years of age, has told
to the police of San Francisco a sad tale of sin and degradation. According
to the girl's story, she left her home in this city about six weeks ago, and
went to San Francisco. She stopped one night in a lodging house on mason
Street, and the next night went to the Alturas Hotel and saloon at 196
Mason, conducted by E.A. HENDERSON and David BECKER.
While in the place she was approached by Henderson, who engaged her in
conversation and learned her history. Henderson told Miss Baxter that he
knew a woman who wanted a girl, and took her upstairs in his hotel. He
introduced her to a woman named Pauline DE VERE. The DeVere woman offered to
give Miss Baxter employment, promising to pay her room and board and buy her
clothing and permit her to keep half of her earnings. The girl was easily
misled and accepted the offer. From the time she met the De Vere woman, her
degradation begann (sic). The woman kept a careful eye upon her and beat her
for exhibiting a rebellious spirit.
Miss Baxter finally escaped from the house of shame, and reported the
matter to the police. An investigation followed, and Henderson, the De Vere
woman and a man named Harry PECK were arrested upon charges of enticing a
minor to a life of shame, sworn to by the girl.
Miss Baxter will be placed in a proper institution of correction.
After she told her pitiful story to Chief of Police DINAN of San
Francisco, he communicated with Chief DENNY, of this city, and asked him to
notify the girl's father, Charles A. BAXTER, who resides at 1321 Ninth
Street.
Chief Denny detailed Officer Max P. FISHER on the case. Officer Fisher
called upon Mr. Baxter and told him of his daughter's troubles. The father
was deeply grieved at the ad (sic) news. He said he had done all he could
for the girl, and declined to extend further aid. He told Officer Fisher to
notify Chief DINAN to do what he thought was proper.
Mr. Baxter was called upon by a Bee reporter this morning and in
conversation related the following sad tale of his daughter's waywardness:
"I have done all I could for that child, but, like thousands of others, she
has gone wrong. I tried to bring her up in the best way I knew how, but all
my efforts seem to have been in vain. I have spent all the money I could for
her sake, and I have tried to be strict with her, but it has been of no
avail. Her mother is an invalid, and if she hears of this it will be an
awful blow to her. I had her placed in the Beulah Home for a time, and when
she returned we thought she was going to be all right. She was good for a
time, and then she got to running with people to whom her mother objected.
One day her mother ordered a certain party from the house, and then my
daughter got angry and left. We did not know what became of her until we
received this sad news.
"If you do not think that I have done all I could for the girl, I wish you
would ask Officer Daniel HEALY. He knows how I have tried to bring her up.
When I heard that she was to be placed in an institution until she is 18
years of age, I thought that was the best thing that could be done for her,
so I decided not to interfere."
Officer Daniel Healy for the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Children
said he had his eye upon the Baxter girl for some time, and that he intended
to take her into custody, but she left the city before he was able to do so.
He says the father of the girl has done all he could to bring her up right.

Constable Judge a Slow Sprinter
Constable "Mike" Judge is thoroughly convinced that a dangerous criminal
escaped him yesterday through superior sprinting abilities and he is
attempting to ascertain the fellow's identity, and the nature of the crime
which he has evidently committed.
Judge went out in the vicinity of Twelfth Street in company with Constable
BOGGESS, when they noticed a Mexican or a negro crossing a nearby field. The
actions of the man were suspicious, and Judge sprang out of his buggy and
called on the man to stop. Instead of obeying orders the fellow took "leg
bail" and rapidly distanced Judge. The latter fired a shot over the man's
head, but this seemed to lend wings to his speed, and he disappeared over
the railroad embankment and escaped. Judge thinks he is one of the men who
have been engaged in looting railroad cars of late.
