Once in Toronto Vernetta walked | hours and while looking in a shop | window she was noticed by William | Murphy, who works at the Carls Rite Hotel on Front Street, but who during the past summer spent sev- eral months in the construction of the new basement for the new St. George's Anglican Church, Centre | Street, Oshawa. He took the girl to the hotel and informed the manage- ment there that he would not be working that (Wednesday) night. They then proceeded to the home of | Mrs. Morton, a friend of Mr. Mur-| around the streets for about three] phy's who lives at 3 Sumach Street. | Here Vernetta spent Wednesday ceiving entries at his office, 19 King|- | had |.would have returned home | fore night, all day Thursday and that part of Friday up to the time she was called for by Oshawa friends. Received a Telegram On Friday morning a telegram was received at the Irish home on Athol Street from a mam who signed himself "Willlam Brown," This stated that Vernetta was safe with friends and that Mr. Brown would send further particulars when he received a reply. An answer was immediately idespatched instructing Mr. Brown to hold the girl, Mrs. G, Clarke, 6 Athol Btreet, West, then motored to Toronto with Mr. James Ingles, of Whithy, who is connected with the Singer Sewing Machine Company, Prince Street, Oshawa, The telegram that had been recelved from Toronto inform- ed the Oshawa people that Mr. Brown was connected with the Carls- Rite Hotel, But a search on the part of the Oshawa people and Tor- onto detectives showed that no Mr. Brown is or was connected with that hotel.' About half past five o'clock Friday evening Mrs. Burnett, 4 Athol Street, West, received a phone call from Mrs, Morton, Toronto, giv- ing particulars as to where Vernet- ta was, Mrs, Clarke and Mr. Ingles, who were Lhen in Toronto, then got in touch with the girl and brought her back to Oshawa last night. As for the telegram it appears hat the operator made a mistake in the transmission of the name as the Irish family take it for granted that it was sent 'hy "William Murphy," and not "William Brown." The wire was sent from a telegraph station at the corner of King and Yonge Streets, Toronto sometime on Thursday but was not delivered in Oshawa till Friday. Go To Business College When The Reformer asked morning if Vernetta would be going back to school on Monday it was stated that it 1s hardiy likely as the family is considering sending her to a business college, The Oshawa police in circularizing the police de partments of the province stated that Vernetta had an aversion to school, and would probably scek employment. Speaking to this pap er Vernetta stated that after she had the ride to Pickering she on Wed- negsday morning but seeing that she comld not get back to Oshawa be- noon she was afraid to come, as she dreaded a whipping from her mother. She then decided to go on to Toronto The family hardly express sufficient thanks Mr. Murphy in girl. She had and her mother day had no friends | whom she knew. Vernetta stated to-day that if she had known that her mother was going to be so len- ient with her she would have walk- this this morning could what they thought for the action of taking care of the no money with her stated last Wednes- in Toronto of TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY WANTED A GENERAL SER- vant. Apply Dr. Hoig's residence 245 Simcoe St. N 67-a ed back from Pickering on Wednes- day. She states that she hardly slept and ate but little all the time she was away from home. Between nine o'clock Wednesday morning and one o'clock this morning the girl lost three pounds in weight, The man .who drove Vernetta from east of Whithy to Pickering was Mr. Samuel Schwartz, 135 Sim- coe Street, South, When interview- ed by The Reformer, Mr. Schwartz stated that he had picked the girl up east of Whithy, She stated that she had friends in Pickering and wanted to go there. He took her as far as that village but would not take her any further. At her re- quest he put her off at a store in Pickering just before it started to rain, Her mother this morning stated the girl has no friends in Pickering. Mr, Schwartz comment- ed on the fact that the girl spoke but little 'while in his car and she and he got into a little argument when she informed him, near Whit- by, that she thought nothing of walking such a distance as to Pick- ering from Oshawa, When he read in Thursday's Reformer about the lost girl, he realized who had heen his unknown passenger and now tells The Reformer that "not for a thousand dollars will I ever give another person a lift, if I don't know him or her," ROTARIANS GUEST OF REGENT Oshawa Rotarians numbering about sixty-five were guests of the Regent Theatre Thursday evening when a special programme was given for the occasion.
