TWO GOLD PINS CAUSED IT.
Peculiar Feature of a Petty
Larceny Charge.
Miss Emma Wilson Arrested for
Taking Jewels.
She Is Released on Bail and Then Re-
arrested and Lodged in Jaii-A
Story to which There Are
Several Sides.

Emma Wilson, q handsome young
woman who has been occupying room
on South Main street, was lodged in the
city prison last evening upon charge
of petty larceny.
The case has many peculiar features.
She was first taken to the police station
by Detectives Anble and Rice yesterday
morning upon a search warrant. The
complaint was made by Miss Dugan, q
chambermaid at the Natick hotel, who
charges that Miss Wilson took two gold
pins with pearl settings from her room
over two weeks ago.
The story is two-sided. 1t is claimed
that while the young women were room
ing together the Wilson girl took the
pins with no intent of stealing them.
Soon after she did SO, another girl saw
them in her possession and unloaded q
tale OF woe into Miss Dugan's ear.
Miss Wilson became angry at the
ultra zealousness displayed by the third
person, and to get even, it is said, kept
the jewels longer.
The ether side of the story is to the
effect that the Wilson woman malicious
ly and feloniously took the pins from
from Miss Dugan.
When the officers went to the Wilson
girls room at IL O'Clock, she was found
with her male friend. The search war
rant was produced and Systematic hunt
made. The police matron, who searched
the young woman. had about given up
the search when she noticed a peculiar
twitching of Miss Wilson's mouth.
With q policeman's instinct, the ma
tron left the head until the last portion
ON which to search for the Jewels, and
when she saw the movements of those
ruby lips she solved the mystery.
The command was given, the mouth
few open and the missing jewels few
out.
There is also another side to this part
OF the story. Miss Wilson claims that
she was not told what the search war
rant was for, or she would have pro-
duced the pins. She also claims that
she had the pins sticking out OF her
mouth, and that when the matron took
them she said that they belonged to
friend.
The Wilson woman was taken to the
station and released on $25 bail.
Later in the day, when Justice Sea-
man had occasion to look into the cir
cumstances of the case. he raised the
amount of the bond to 5000. Not being
able to secure the amount, the prisoner
was locked up.
