Moscow (UP) A tale of
been kept in solitary confinement by her parents for 21 years
in the belief that she had developed the dread disease pi
leprosy, was revealed by the police Wednesday. '
The soviet authorities freed the unfortunate girl and

but a minor skin disease.
The girl in spite of her youth, was
completely gray haired when dls
copered by the police. Her faceswas
shrivelled like that of a very old
woman and she was half blind and
entirely undeveloped mentally.
Her parents locked her In a
barn 21 years ago for fear that if
her disease, believed by them to be
leprosy, were discovered, she would
be driven from the town with a hurl
ing of stones, as was the custom
then. This custom. Incidentally,
still exists in some sections oL the
country.
Soviet authorities were In the
Tashkent district seeking informa

a human voice Issuing from the

refused to open the barn and re

to do It.
Finally, however, they yielded.
The astonished officials found what
looked like an old woman, crusted

a heap of straw.
