HIS GRANDFATHER.
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL


A Fast u woman.
Boston, Sept. pa 12-year-old girl OF
birmingham, on Friday, packed a valise
with diamonds and negotiable bonds to
the amount of $50, 900, belonging to her
mother, a wealthy lady, and started for
Boston to meet a young lad and elope with
him. She was arrested, the valuables re-
covered, and the girl taken home.
Boston, Sept. 22.-The amount stolen
was divided as follows: $751; 900 in bank
bills, 81, 900 in United States bonds,
| 81, 900 worth of diamonds, and S35, 900 in
railroad stocks. The girls name is Sadie
Robinson, and she is the daughter of @.
| E. Robinson. Sadie's mind has been
| filled with nonsensical ideas about runa-
way marriages. When charged with steal
ing the valuables she at first denied, but
subsequently confessed. She said that on
Friday morning she took a valise with her
when she went to school at Boston, and
had given it to a woman. She told a
blood-curdling story of having her life
threatened unless she complied with the
demand for money. She said she met the
woman at the Albany station, and gave
her the valise containing the valuables.
The valise and valuables were recovered
in a drug store, where Sadie had left them,
promising to call for them to-day. She
confessed that she loved the young man,
whose name she refused to give, and had
taken the money with the intention of
clipping.
