Lena Moss Held for the Action of
the Grand Vurv.

tne GEHHh buELs
Lena Moss, tho young colored woman
who robbed young Shaffer at his brothers
drug store on the 10th instant, was tried
in the Police Court this morning for the
grand larceny Of $500, diamond pin and a
pocketbook.
Messrs. Wells and Moss appeared for tho
prisoner.
Augustus J.. ShafIor, of 713 Third street,
stated that he Is in tho drug business at
Sixth and 4 streets with his brother. On
the 10th instant, tho defendant came to tho
store in the evening and got glass Of vchy
water He had q pocSetbook In his hip
pocket at the time, and there was about
$500 and a diamond in Vt. She left and
said she would return. When she returned
she got to fooling in tho store, and when
she was gone he missed his pocketboolx.
Mr.. Moss cross-examined Sbalfer about
his whereabouts at II. O'Clock on the night
of the robbery. He denied that he invited
the girl to call again whom she came in to
get the soda.
VIM. L. ShafIer testified that he gave the
property to his brother, because he wit
ness was going out. The property was the
estate Of the late VIM. II. Belts.
Detective McDovitt stated that about 2
o'clock on the morning of the Goth inst. he
was notified by DIR. Shaffer that there was .
robbery committed at his store. He heard
that tho defendant aud another woman
left the city and he telegraphed South to
have her stopped, and she was arrested at
Greensboro, N. @.
Major Dye, at his request, had her
brought back. She confessed to witness
that she stole the property and gave a do
tailed account Of the disposition she made oil
tho money. There was S19i.60 taken from
this woman and about $50 from Franci:
Isabel, the woman who won't away with
her.
Judge Mills said 1t had been proven that
the robbery took place, and 1t was more thar
probable that the defendant committed the
robbery, and he would not hear statement
from the prisoner, as it was unnecessary
The case was sent to the grand jury, and
the defendant was committed in default o
$1,000 bail.
