Their shawls, and which were well filled
with sundry market commodities. On fol-
lowing them they were seen TO leave the
market house on street and go into the
dry goods store of Began 81 Wvlie. After some
minutes two of them came outside the store, and
one OF them was seen to slip piece OF dry goods
under her shawl, which she picked of from the
stand in front of the store. Officer Column
bus at once started, after her, and she
seeing him approaching, took TO her
best speed up the street, the officer following on,
and captured her on sth street, between NJ and
