SIMON ARRESTED AGAIN.
Was Caught Shipping The Goods Of
the HindOOS to Charleston.

They Had Been Hid Under a Floor in
a Garrett on Price Street-Simon Re-
arrested by Detective Wetherhorn,
Who Found Express Receipts and
Pawn Tickets in His Poeket-He
Was Turned Over and Committed to
Jail by Justios Elsinger.
Frank Simon, who was charged with
assisting Lily Fox to rob the East India
men of silks, handkerchiefs and other ar
ticles, but who was released at the time
of the commitment of the woman en- &C
count of lack of evidence against him,
was arrested again yesterday and sent to
jail by Judge Elsinger in default of bond.
Some new evidence developed which, it
seems, connects Simon with the case
more strongly than ever. IL seems that
some articles similar to those which have
been taken from the Hindoos mad been
pawned at various places, and this is
what led to Simon's arrest.
The information with regard to Simon
was given to Detective Wetherhorn by
party named Levy. Detective Wether-
horn, after short search, found Simon
and took him in charge. He was not long
in finding on the person of his prisoner
the evidence which caused the latter to
be sent to Jail.
SHIPPED THEM TO CHARLESTON.
Several silk handkerchiefs of the orien-
tai fashion were found in Simon's pockets,
and with them several pawn tickets.
The latter were the means of locating a
portion of the stolen goods, but they did
not account for all of them. Another
search brought to light receipts for some
express packages that were to go to
Charleston.
Detective Wethel horn was Just in time.
The express receipts were taken to the
Southern Express office, and the pack
ages, which were to have left the city
for Charleston within few hours, were
obtained. They were found to contain
just the goods which had been described
by the HindOos as having been taken
from them There were silk dresses.
handkerchiefs, and various pieces of ori-
entail embroidery. valued, according to
the two Hindoos from whom they were
taken, at S2C0 or $500 They are still IN
the custody of Detective Wetherhorn.
HID THE GOODS UNDER THE FLOOR.
Simon was turned over by Detective
Wetherhorn to Constable Ike Nathans,
who arrested the woman, and was taken
before Justice Elsinger, who committed
him to Jail Ever since the case was dis
covered, the stolen property has been the
missing link in the evidence. The girl
denied all knowledge of it, and Simon
stated that he knew nothing about the
matter. An investigation made yester-
day AFTERNOON at the place where the Fox
woman had lived, in a garrett at 2016 Price
street, showed that the boards of the floor
had been taken up and the goods stored
under them.
The eircumstantial evidence against
the two is thus, in the opinion of the Off
GERS, made very clear, and the only
trouble now is as to the two witnesses,
the victims of the theft. They are said
to be out of the city, and Just where to
find them is not known. 1t is probable.
however, that some of their brethren of
the same nationality in the city will know
how they can be found and brought back
to testify in the case.
The / OK woman was turned over to the
city court for trial last Saturday as the
Hindoos were going to leave the city, but
when her case was called her attorney
demanded jury trial and the case did not
come up. 1t remains to be seen what fig
ure the finding of the stolen articles will
cut in the case.
