Today in 1904, 17-year-old Belle Jones was sentenced to the St. Catherine's Home and Training School for running away from home. Note how the SF Call names her, but not her "heart-broken" father. St. Catherine's was the new name for the SF Magdalen Asylum, as of about 1903-4. pic.twitter.com/T8ISzurZlG
