Dallas,
February 19.- A large number of Dallasites have arranged to visit New Orleans to
witness the Mardi Gras festivities.
Lizzie
Handley, keeper of a house of ill-fame, sent for Chief of Police
Arnold this morning to take away Annie Debreck (sic), a fourteen-year-old girl
of East Dallas, who came to to her house late last night, saying her school
mates continually taunted her about the life of shame of a female relative
[Georgia DeBeck], and she had determined on leading a life of shame. Madame
Handley locked her in a room by herself till morning, when Chief Arnold took her
to her parents. The girl professes to have abandoned her terrible resolve.
Yesterday morning, City Marshal Arnold received a note from Lizzie Handley, the proprietress of a bawdy house on Jackson street, which stated that she desired to see him at once on important business. The official reported promptly, and was informed that a young girl who gave her name as Anna or Edith De Beck, residing near the fair grounds had come to her house and requested that she be admitted as an inmate. The proprietress declined to admit her, but when the girl wept and begged to be cared for during the night, she took her in, and after locking her up in a room, sent a messenger with a note to Marshal Arnold, who did not get it until the next morning. The girl, who has just entered her teens, expressed a desire to lead a life of shame, and when the officer took charge of her to take her back to her parents, she wept bitterly. Her story is to the effect that persons have accused her of leading an unchaste life, and that so long as she got the credit of it, little was the difference to her. The unfortunate young girl was returned to her parents and home.
