Mrs. C. s. Mattoon, wife of ex-Consul Mat.
toon, of the Sandwich islands, living at 2Ois
Hillyer place, on looking for n small gold
locket that she usually wears on her chain
found II missing. The thought occurred to
her to make q search for II, and in doing SO
she discovered that valuable lace shawl, n
gold sleeve button and a numborof articles of
jewolry and minor things to the value of $3.50
had been stolen. Mr.. MnttOon told Lieut.. Guy
of the robbery. Sergt. Burgess and Officer
HARRISON went to the house, ana nftor invosti.
CATION they felt satisfied that n colored servant
named Kate West was the guilty party. Mrs.
NATION had confidence in her servant and
could not be made to believe that the woman
would be guilty OF such acts. Tn. woman
was taken TO the fourth precinct station aud
locked up.
The officers then went to Kate house, No.
Lingan alley, near Twentieth and N streets,
where n search revealed not only Mrs Mat.
toon's goods, but also blanket belonging to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
lot of silverware, and other articles that proved
TO be the property of @. U, willard, of the Eb
bitt House, where Kato's husband, Benjamin
West, was employed as lnborer. II was
learned that Kate was at one timo employed
ut Deer Park as a servant, and IL Is believed
she got the blanket there. BENJAMIN was ar
rested by Sergt. Burgess.
The value OF the goods recovered is esti-
mated at between $500 and 300. The officers
deserve credit for the quick work they did in
ferreting out the guilty parties and recovering
the goods In SO short time.
