terday Nellie Brown and Kate Crowley
were tried by jury on charge of petty
larceny, alleged to have been committed in
stealing $40 from a man named Geo. Will
Jams, a stranger in the city, at a house of
ill-repute. The City Attorney prosecuted
and |. S. Brown defended. There have
been many complaints during the past few
months of robberies committed in these es-
adjustments, but when the women were
arrested and tried they escaped conviction,
and in many cases the men who lost their
money preferred to let it 90 rather than
appear in Court and thus give publicity to
the matter In this case Nellie Brown was
alleged TO be the principal party TO the
theft, and the other woman an accomplice.
The jury after being out two or three
hours, found Nellie guilty and acquitted
her companion.
