FEMALE SHoPLIFTERs.-Half a dozen
pieces of cashmere were stolen from the
tailor shop Of l.. Beebc, Commercial alley
Tuesday morning, and the trick was SO siyly
taken that scarce a suspicion rested on any
one. The only fact to 60 on was that De-
tsvia Wilson, alias Malvins Garidel. had
been seen in that neighborhood. Captain
Cain, knowing her Of old as thief, pro.
ceeded to her house on Burgundy street.
Wherc he dropped in on her unlimited, Just
i%time to see her arranging and disposing
the plumber. Eliza Louise was there. it
b$ng her home, and she had finger in the
cafsimere. The pair were Immediately

year.
When, this couple were arraignel before
Recorder Houghton, Malsina put i'll dat
denial, but Louise stumbled into a confcs-
zion which settles her completely in the
robbery. Malvina, who is really shrewd
woman, knows too much to criminate her-
self. In chasing up this affair Captain Cain
and special officer Smith gained other in
formation which goes plainly to show that
this old woman has direct relations with
persons in this community whose names
would not look well in print connected with
hers. The commercial alley theft is not the
only one that Garidel was engaged in re-
Gently. Several pieces Of silk were stolen
from the store Of Mr.. Jamison, Canal street,
and she knows what became Of them. 1t
seems that she is an accomplished shop
litter, easily passing herself off as q nurse
or servantcmployed by some Of the numer-
GUS customers who crowd the stores just
now. Before the case is finished we suspect
that few astonishing developments will be
made--at least, if there is not, there should
be-interesting to the general reader.
