ing, and came near consigning two inno-
cent women to one of the filthy cells Of
the Gregory Street Police Station until to-
morrow morning.
shakespeare is employed by Mr.. Metz
Ter, the Newark avenue clothier. to stand
at the door of the shoe branch of his
establishment and see that no one goes
out OF the place with goods which are not
wrapped up in paper. The presumption
Is that II any persons go out with goods
unwrapped, they have stolen the articles.
About ten O'Clock last evening Shakes
peare called upon Policeman Monahan
TO arrest two women for stealing two
pairs of shoes, which Shakespeare car
ried in boxes under his arm.
He. told the policeman he was at his
usual place at the door and caught the
women leaving the store with the shoes.
lie asked them to have the boxes wrapped
up, and while he was in the store irving
70 ascertain which salesman sold the
shoes to the women, the latter disap-
peared up the street.

THEY COULDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
Inc policeman went around to thu
Gregory street station house with the
women There it was discovered that
they were Polanders and could not sneak
q word of English. Shakespeare told his
story and 1t began to look bad for the
women.
There was nothing about them to suq-
gest that they were thieves. and M.
Metzler wanted to hear their story be-
lore ne made a charge against them.
Accordingly, the women were conducted
TO rear room, while search was made
Tor person who could talk their Lam
guage.
Immediately there was a great SCENE,
The older of the women, who was appar-
emily IN III health, sank down on the floor
III liant, while the younger one. who
was quite pretty, began to wiring her
hands and sob convulsively.
Inc older woman was soon brought to,
ana mingled her lamentations with those
OF the other, and for long time the air
was niled with assorted Polish exclama-
tons of distress.
