TWO PRETTY THIEVES.
Young Annie and Hannah Cleverly
Rob Dressmakers.

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 a 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 conversat tion
that generally followed she would say
who separated from her to do little
shopping, but whom she expected
shortly. She was so modest in her de-
meanor that she invariably made good
This gave her the opportunity to wait.
and whenever she was left alone in a
room by the confiding dressmaker Annie
and disappear. In some instances, 1t is
said, Hannah would figure as her sister
and accompany her to the dressmaker's s.
As a 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 pocketho1Sok OF Mrs. Brunn. q
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
