A DAILY paper of September 28 contains the following paragraph:— “Charlotte Wittner, a pretty little cigaret maker, aged seventeen years, for ten days was held a prisoner by a party of boys, sons of well-to-do residents of Wilkinsburg, one of Pittsburg’s fashionable suburbs. The girl is now in a Pittsburg hospital on the verge of insanity, as the result of her treatment.” Instances of this kind are multiplying, it being considered “smart” on the part of young villains like those who have destroyed this poor child, to decoy away one who belongs to what they call “the lower class,” and who “leave her for dead” without a particle of pity or compunction. This very paragraph [quoted above] reflects the same spirit of the ruffians who destroyed a defenseless girl, being careful to give her name, age, and occupation, but as careful to protect theirs from the execrations sure to follow their discovery. Such instances as these are burned into the hearts of the poor, and help to prepare for that great day of account which patriots dread even to think about, because they know that if the “mills of the gods do grind slowly, they grind exceeding small.”—Union Signal.
