The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-06-21

A woman recently died in London
whose career furnishes incident enough for
lalf a dozen sensation novels. For several
Years she served the authorities OF Scot
land Yard as a detective. Placing her.
elf in relation with the parish doctor she
volunteered to nurse those families whose
honesty was suspected by the authorities.
As nurse she disarmed all suspicion,
md did not fail to take careful note OF all
he heard. Her manners were also ap-
parently so loose and low that but little
restraint was observed in her presence, and
her reports forwarded to the Scotland
ward were thus rendered all the more val
liable. While engaged in her duties, she
extracted from her half unconscious and
deblitated fever patients the confession OF
.ome dark deed, and hints as to the where
lbouts of confcdcrates in crime. Such
vas the general plan Of action observed
Wy this extraordinary woman; but this
vas rather slow process, and at times it
vas necessary to fall at once upon the
,erongdoer. On one occasion, for instance,
the police received information that there
was gang of false money-makers in
ertain street, but Notwithstanding every
fort they were unable to ascertain in
which house the coiners worked The
,eryices of the female detective were there
upon requistioned, and she was des-
patched to the street in question to see
what could be done. Feignlng violent
illness, she persuaded child who issued
from one Of the suspected houses, to take
ner indoors for a moment. The sudden
entrance thus obtained enabled the detec-
| tive to hear the metallic sounds proceed
rg from the coiners' S workshop before
The latter were aware that any stranger
vas IN the house. But they soon discoy-
cred their danger, and the chief of the
gang, in his fury, hurled a ladle full Of
molten lead at her head. Fortunately the
poke bonnet that she wore saved her life;
|
though they destroyed her hair and its
roots. The police arrived in time, on
hearing the alarm, to arrest eighteen
coiners. After this, she disguised herself
as boy, and penetrated many thieves
den. On one occasion she was discovered,
and struck down with blow which frac-
tured her skull, before the police arrived
to her aid. Still undaunted, with return
ing health she resumed her dangerous oc'
cupation, often engaging in hand to hand
fights, and armed with the magic whistle,
rattle, and number given her by the au'
thorities, and which ensured the assist
ance of every policeman, stranger or not
whose services she might find it neces
sary to call. Sickness at last subduec
this turbulent spirit, and thieves need
no longer fear the visits Of the female de
tectlye.

her money-bags. During this period the

the paper for libel putting his damages

much more by these developments than
by the assertion of the paper, He not

An exclamation of horror burs from the
strangers lips as he gazed upon the blood,
scene before him. Two men lay dead
across the doorstep. Two others, their
garments torn and blood-stained, were ly-
ing upon the porch, bound and helpless,
while little Tom, the youngest son,
crouched between them, cooked revolver
in his hand.
"You don't pear to like the way your
specilation's turned out" laughed Uncle
Lie. "Never mind; thar's two on 'em

Five minutes later the truth of his story
was fairly proven, and the traveller met
far different welcome from that which
had greeted the suspected spy. Uncle
Lie was too immensely disgusted with
himself to tell the story, but little Tom
quickly supplied the deficiency.
1t seemed that he had been out cunning.
