SECOND '" 'NEWS SECTION VOLUME 113.— 141. ACCUSED GIRL TURNS ACCUSER Supposed Highwaywoman Released • CHIGO SHERIFF ' - AND JUDGE AT OUTS OVER CASE Seventeen Year Old Myrtle Collins Says She Used ¥ Revolver to Protect Her Honor • Butte county is divided \ over a girl. One faction believes pretty IT year old Myrtle Collins to be a desperate high '* p waywoman and an enemy of society. Another faction declares she is a girl who resorted to desperate measures to i a . Protect her honor. ; . In dismissing the charge against the **• % girl Judge Gray yesterday* agreed with Colonel Eggers, who had been retained „ to defend her since she was committed ♦to the reform school at Whittier, that 2 o * b * he was justified In threatening Lans dale with a revolver, and further stated "-•• that had she killed him no Jury In Butte .; county would have convicted her. . » Judge Gray and Sheriff Henry Weber 0 have quarreled. The district attorney, George Jones, believes the girl is guilty of holding up William Lansdale. but he °* o* ** also declares that the young man and Jesse Chandler, the o-w»ier o*y the ma chine in which with another girl. Rose *■ ""-okum, they went for a ride, are guilty » of serious offenses. The least of these is giving liquor to minor girls. " BORE SPOTLESS REPUTATION ' •,. Rose Tokum until this affair has borne a spotless reputation. • Mr. and Mrs. John Collins are at t the head of the faction which declares • that an effort has been made to "rail road** their daughter to the Whittier ♦ c o reform school to, protect the well to do young men who. they say, are the ,% only ones at fault if a crime has been ■ committed. •* * c *' Although he had committed the girl .. % to the reform school Judge Gray re t scinded | his, action Friday and declared 1 % Myrtle would . have ' another hearing. „"". at which she would have the support of her parents and an attorney. Yes terday she was cleared of the charge and her victims: scored by the Judge. The parents were not present at the . , .first hearing." y* '• ' Briefly young Lansdale's story is ' *-„*. this: ' : . ° .'' •". Miss Tokum and Chandler had left "i*y the automobile at a lonely part of the y road leading from Chico to Durham. Hardly had they got out of sight, he ,*•„ says, when Miss Collins took the big .revolver which she had found on the ; •*• 0 back seat, pointed the muzzle at his | . • head and ordered him to give her all 0 the money in his possession.: He ad •* „ mits she gave him back halfyof the ""jy $14 which he quickly handed her, dis *" * mounted from the machine and fled into * • the darkness toward Durham. He says „ al£*o that previously she had begged « him and Chandler, to drive her to Oak * a * land, where her sister lives, In the " automobile. Their refusal, he says, 0 % provoked her. ■ t - Miss Collins* story is quite different. This is what she told her parents: PLEADED IN VAIN "Rose and I were walking out from Chico, where we had been shopping. o * Tnese two boys stopped the auto .and ' c "asked if they. might take us home. We . • had met them before, and had agreed to 0 ° ride if they would take us home Im ° o mediately. No 'sooner had we gotten /°; e lnto the machine than they turned ° •around and drove toward Durham.*: I o*** ° pleaded with them, but unavaillrigly. - £ 'When we were out of sight of town • and all ranch houses they offered us some drinks out of a bottle.
