at O'Neill's store at Sixth avenue and
Twenty-hrst street. at 81 o'clock yester-

when he saw her pick UP a pair OF stockings
and slip them under her long cloak. He fol-
lowed her to the counter where cheap orna-
ments were displayed. and saw her pick up
and pocket pin while examining the stock.
When she stepped out Of the crowd to go to
another pnrt OF tho store. he walked up and
told her that he wanted her to 60 to the Thr-

New York on Saturday. is generally accepted
