6 A curvy 20-year-old brunette donned feminine garb today for the first time, after four months of masquerading through, jails and jobs as i homeless boy. Barbara Ann Malpass of AY bany, N.Y., convinced prison ers and officers alike she was Charles Richard Williams, 16 of Shoshone, Wyo. She booked under that name at the Jefferson County Jail on Aug. 2. "We were considering trying to place her in Boys Town, sighed Undersheriff Lew Hawley.

The brown-eyed girl is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 129 pounds. In her guise as a boy "she wore her hair in a duck-tail style. LETTER FOUND hoax came to light when Deputy Sheriff Sam Teague, with whose family Barbara was staying after her release from jail, found an incomplete letter to the girl's parents. He determined from the letter's contents his house guest was a girl. "I just can't understand said Sheriff Art Wermuth.

"I've checked into it thor oughly and she- went 'through the normal shakedown proce dure to discover anything con cealed on her person. She was given jail clothes and told to shower, which she did. But then, we don't go into the shower the prisoners." Wermuth said Barbara was arrested July 21 at Anderson, and told of burglarizing a Jefferson County house. JAILED 37 DAYS A local deputy took the girl in custody at Anderson and returned her here, stopping en route at Omaha, where Barbara was held overnight in the jail. The pleasant, mild-mannered suspect was jailed here 37 days, then when officers were unable to link her witjh any crimes-r-she was released.

Because she said she had no parents, the Teague family gave her lodging. Barbara worked briefly as a carpet layer before the hoax was unveiled. Sheriff Zwermuth said she told of running away from home earlier this year. She posed as a boy "because it was more convenient," said Wermuth. Wermuth -termed the girl a "talented artist, very intelligent" "We think, possibly with some psychiatric help, she will turn out all right." Barbara's parents, a church-going family highly respected in Glenmont, described their daughter today as "a very confused girl," who had run away before.
