123 Clinton street. and Hannah Goldman.
aged eighteen. of 9s East Broadway.
before Justice Feitner, in the Yorkville
Police Court. They are pretty girls and
1t is said that they have both proven
themselves to be clever sneak thieves.
Their mode OF operation was very
clever. BY advertisements in news
papers the girls would get the addresses
OF dressmakers. Annie would then pay
one of them visit and blushingly con-
fide that she was about to be married
and that she wanted a nice dress made
for the occasion. In the conversation
that generally followed she would say
that she left home with her mamma,
who separated from her to do a little
shopping, but whom she expected
shortly She was so modest in her de-
meanor that she Invariably made good
impression.
This gave her the opportunity to walt,
and whenever she was left alone in a
room by the confding dressmaker Annie
would appropriate some article of value
and disappear. In some instances, 1t iS
said, Hannah would figure a her sister
and accompany her TO the dressmakcr's.
As general rule Annie would do the in
side work while Hannah would wait out
on the street and take the stolen prop
erty from Annie.
by this ruse Annie succeeded in steal
ing the pocketboOk OF Mrs. Brunn, a
dressmaker at 1H East Seventy-thiri
street. Mrs. Brunn discovered the theft
before Annie got far away and gave
chase. Detective Weller, who was pass.
ing. caught the girl. She confessed and
helped Weller locate Hannah in East
Broadway.
Annie was held by Justice Feitner this
morning and Hannah was discharged for
lack of evidence. The police say that
they have several other cases against
the girl.
