STEALING FROM STORES.
woman calling herself Emma r. Thompson was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives Elder
and M2cdougal. She Is charged with stealing
valuable cloak from the store OF Wilson Gregg on
Broadway. After locking her up at Police Head
quarters the detectives went to her house, and
found large quantity OF stolen property, which
they captured and conveyed to Captain Irvings
Office. Miss Thompson has given the merchants on
Broadway considerable trouble, and the very finest
skill of the best detectives was necessary to trap
her. At one time Miss Thompson made an extern
sive raid on Lord Il Tayl0rs store, on the corner
OF Twentieth street and Broadway, but owing to
the untiring vigilance OF Mr.. John X. Warrn the
superintendent, Emma failed in her enterprise.
Miss Thompson is an old hand, and Cap
tain Irving was inexpressibly delighted yes
terday to see her within the bounds
of the office. Detectives Elder and MacdOugal are
looking for the owners OF the property recovered,
and, soon as they have obtained the necessary
evidence, Emma will be sent before Justice Hogan,
at the T0mbs Police Court.
