Four weks ago she Teaped the fence at the Riverview Deténtion home, clad only. in -her full-length apron, the same as other girl wards, and for three weeks was a wanderer on the streets, evading juvenile au- thorities at every turn.

After spending three weeks in quarters provided for her she was induced to accompany one of the men to a small town in Missouri. In transporting the girl from one state to another for im- moral purposes, the companion un- wittingly violated the Mann white slave act and the atttention of fed- eral afficials has been called to' the case.
