seph Myers were brought before Justice
Kaufman this morning charged with tho
burglary of 137 Chicago avenue, and the
theft of a silk dolmah valued at $40,

in whose possession much other property,
supposed to be stolen, vas found, COM
prises also Nellie McCabe, now held On a

j. R. King, and her two sisters. One of
these sisters lives on North Clark street and
the other on Lincoln place, and all property
stolen, it is said, is passed from house to
house as means of avoiding detection.
Many thefts made by the female members
of the gang, have never been reported, as
the losers preferred to let their property
go rather than figure as prosecutors in
such cases. A new charge of highway rob-
berry, in addition to the one of larceny al
ready preferred, was entered against the
woman McCabe this morning.
