Today in 1871, a 16-year old Swiss girl, whom the @sfchronicle didn't name, was on her way to the SF Magdalen Asylum -- along with another girl arrested in a brothel on Dupont St. (now Grant Ave.). The Swiss girl was "well educated" and spoke "several languages fluently." pic.twitter.com/ndJU4pp5hy
