C., Nov. 9.— Francis Riley, aged 15 years, told a Police Court Justice last Satur- day, that he had seen his thirteen- year-old sister Edith, suffer hunger in solitary confinement and had also seéen her beaten at least 25 times. The girl Edith was taken to a ‘hospital last Friday night after the police removed her from a closet in_the home of her 'father and stepmother where she had been kept a prisoner for the last fout years. Francis said he had heard his sister cry in hunger. He said he had seen her but five or ten times in recent years. “During the winter they Kkept her in a room on the top floor of the house. Other brought her down stairs to the closet which was about six feet square,” Francis said. He said his sister was given a pan of water and when there was any food left, she had been given somethlng to eat. PFrancis said he had seen his stepmother beat Edith until her head bled. ‘The girl was found when the po- Hee investigated a story Francis had told school mates about his sister being kept a prisoner. The police found the girl in a window- less closet amid filth. She was clad only in a shirt-like garment. Lester Riley, the father, and his wife, were arrested, charged with |cruelty , and released on $1,000 ‘bonds each. After Francis told his story, the bonds were raised to $2500 each pending a grand jury investigation. The father only replied to police questioning that the girl had bad habits and had to be locked up. ———————— SEAL RETURNS HERE FROM WESTERN TRIP After having completed its an- nual cruises in central and south- western Alaska waters, the Seal, Capt.

L. Wood lecture. The speaker pointed out that for 4000 years the world awaited the fulfillment of the promise of the first coming of Christ as the Mes- siah and Redeamer, which today is ‘recognized as a historical fact by which history ' is dated. Will Come to Rule Pastor Wood then called atten- tion to a few of more than 300 prophecies in the Bible, which he declared predict the second re- turn of Christ to this world, but to judge the world and reign |over a kingdom of rlghteou& sub- | Jects. Among these propHecies were some of a most interesting char- |acter. *Henry Ford was not pro- phecied in the Bible but automo- biles were according to Nahum. Described in One Verse * Here the prophet in one verse describes a modern automobile so accurately that the speaker offered any. person the gift of a $11 Bible if they could describe an automo- bile better than Nahum described it ‘2500 years ago, and use fewer words.
