\ Servant Girl Acknowledges Stealing
From Her Employer-Psrt of the Stolen
, Goods Recovered.
For some weeks past Mrs. VI F. Ferguson,
widow, and daughters have been missing
small articles of wearing apparel, iewelry,
and Columbia streets All efforts on their
part to find them or 10 catch the thief proved
unavailing. The stealing continued and OF
late has been carried on 10 greater extent.
A little Incident happened a short time ago,
however. that led them to believe that the
thief was a young colored girl named Mary
McClary, who is employed by Mrs. Ferguson
as domestic. Miss Julia F. Ferguson had a
very handsome Spanish lace scarf, which had
been made present TO her, and which she
valued very highly. What was her surprise
one dav to see the servant wearing the scarf.
The girl was questioned about il and claimed
that she had bought it at a store on West
Main street. but this was found to be untrue.
Matters eliminated last night. Mrs. Ferguson,
thinking she mad lost enough, sent Tor onlcer
Norton. the latter went to the house and
taking the girl into a room. accused her OF
stealing the articles, among which were two
watch chains, a pair of earrings, set of sill
yer spoons, lace scarf, and several dollars a
money. The girl got very indignant at first
and stormed around at lively rate, but on
some very close questioning by the officer she
admitted stealing all but the spoons, and this
she strongly denies. She told the officer
where.part Of the stolen goods had been placed,
and officer Charles Wood, OF the night force,
was sent TO investigate. He recovered the
chains and the scarf from colored fellow
named Thomas, 10 whom the McCIary girl
had given them. II all the goods are recovered
Mrs Ferguson does not wish to have the girl
prosecuted.
