rio,Is thieves. she is regarded rs an access
sorry 10 their crime. The woman seems to
blame herself because OF her visit to Pc
fersburg, which caused the arrest OF her
friends.
The prisoners seem to have plenty OF
money. They totally discard the jail fare,
and order the very choicest meals from the
restaurants three times day.
II is charged here that Horace Hovan, the
Riclgopd boy. was one OF the principals
in M robhing of Mr. Andrew kevan's
store in this city few years ago. Two
strangers took lodgings one day in board
lns-house on BoIlingbrook street nearly OPP
poSitc Mr.. Keyan'S store. They could
i,lainlv see through Mr.. kevan'S store into
his office IN the rear, and were seen hang
in. about the neIShborhood for several
DAYS. Finally, one OF them. representing
himself 10 be dealer in -four, called on
Mr.. keyan, and, stating that he desired to
make some purchases, asked to see sam
pies OF the brands made by Mr.. kevau.
He was very promptly waited upon,
but complaining that he w:iS Il little bind,
asked MIR. kevan TO bring his samples to the
front window OF the store where he might
examine them 10 better advantage. While
thus engaging the attention Of Mr. kevan

and Mr.. keyan, on entering his office. found
that he had been robbed. The bonds We're
recovered by detectives, but the money was
never heard Of. Hovan is said to have been
one of the robbers.
\ communication was to-day received
from the Chief OF Police OF Cambridge,
Mass. enclosing list Of the bonds, stocks,
The Dcchmere National Bank, IN that city,
and describing the man and woman who
committed it. The description does not
answer to that OF Charlotte Dougherty or
either OF the men who were arrested with
her; neither does the list OF securities cor
respond with those recovered here. So it
Is apparent these parties were not engaged
in the Cambridge robbery.
