mas very sharp eye. While at the hotel she talked
little, but used excellent language Mr. Nash thinks
That she is an old offender, and belongs either to a
Boston or New York gang.
From the description given the probability
! is that this woman is one Mrs. Scripture Who
formerly lived in Brsttleboro II so she was
one OF family of Boydens, consisting of the
mother aud seven or eight children, boys and
girls They lived here until some eight or
ten years ago. The daughter in question

Their probable that she is the same woman
who has vietimized Brattleboro druggists two
or three times with her morphine dodge.
Not many weeks ago we printed an account
of her exploits in this direction.
