A CLEVER CAPTURE.
How Il Shrcwd SwindIcr Obtained some
JeweIry and was Arrested.

The Birmingham police have succeed
ed i'll arresting a man giving the name
of George Brain, of Holloway, London,
who is supposed to have been engaged III
an extensive attempt to sWindle BIZ
mingham jewellers. A telegram was re
ceived by Messrs. GOode X Son, gold
chain manufacturers, Birmingham, from
their customers, McSsrs. Lawson, Son "
Ward, jewellers, Hatton Garden, Lon
don, asking them to send an assortment
of gold chains to their traveller, Mr.:
DonohOe, at the Royal Hotel, Bath.
They accordingly dispatched a parcel OF
gold chains to the value of G75. Tele-
grams to the same effect were received
| by other Birmingham jewellers. Messrs.
| GOode n Son also wrote to their house
in London announcing the dispatch OF
| the goods. Next day they received a
| telegram from Mcssrs. Lawson, Son ~
| Ward to the effect that their traveller
had not ordered any goods and that he
| was not III Bath at all. ThercupOn Il
communication was sent to the Birming-
| ham Detective Department, the result
| being that the officers in charge of the
! case wired to the Bath police to 90 to
the hotel at Bath and stop the delivery
of the goods and arrest the sham Traveller.
1t happened, however, that before the
! arrival of the telegram the prisoner had
taken his departure for Bristol, then
booked again for Bath, and afterward
proceeded 10y the Flying Dutchmn to
London. The Bath police tcIcgraphcd
that the missing man was iii the London
train. The Birmingham police tclc-
graphed to London, but the train had
then reached its destination, and for Il
time the man wanted was lost. The
next information received by the Biz
mingham police was that the prisoner
had left Instructions ut the Royal Hotel,
Bath, for all parcels addressed to him
to be redirccted to him nj the Chalk
Farm Railway Station, London. The
parcel of jewelry had then arrived at
Bath. The Birmingham police tcIe-
graphed to the Bath police to take the
jewclry out of the parcel and make Il
dummy one and forward it to Chalk Farm
Station. This WAS done without any
delay, and Sergeant Ore was dispatched
from Birmingham to Chalk Farm to
keep watch ut the station for any one who
came TO claim the package directed TO
Mr.. Donohoc The prisoner went to
Chalk Farm Station and inquired il any
parcel had been sent 10 Mr.. DOnOhOe,
and Sergeant Ore ut once arrested him.
On being searched number of valuable
stones and pledge tickets for iewclry
were found upon him, together with the
letter from Birmingham, announcing
that the jewClry would be dispatched by
train to him at Bath.

her youth her punishment was committed
to hard labor for life. Two years had

day she was taken before the directres8
of the prison, who received her with
great kindness and the startling intelli-

three weeks previously her prosecutor,
Bartos Saudos, had been found dead and
that in his pocket was discovered a writ

having killed Julia Berecs and having
falsely accused the young Jewess. He
proclaimed Julia Weiss's innocence and
begged her to pray for him. He also
