by Mr.. Robinson Contaiurd the m. 900
worth OF Goods Stolen fron Neirhbors.
When Miss Georgia Brock and her twelve
ycar-old sister, Florence, daughters OF Henry
Brock OF 800 West Seventy. first street, were ar
rested on Tuesday afternoon and held In $1,000
bail each on a charge OF stealing goods
valued at $4,000 from neiehbors, the
police OF the West sixty. eighth street
station were at n loss to determine
what, II anything, was back of the thefts OF
which both girls were accused and to which
most was the apparent lack OF motive for such
acrime on the part OF the elder girl, who Is
said to be engaged to Edward W. Robinson,
now of Elmira.
Tho fact that both girls were removed from
the Jurisdiction of tho New York courts a few
hours after they were amitted TO bail does not
tend to improve their position ia the eyes OF
the police. Furthermore, they say they have
discovered that some OF the statements made by
the father Of the girls about his elder daughter
are not true.
Miss Brooks transaction In trunks with the
Columbia storage Warehouse Company led to
these discoveries. According to the books OF
the Narehousc Company, on Oct. 4. 1899, four
packing chests and two trunks were received
there and entered on the books OF the company
as tho property OF the Edward Robinson estate.
Tho person who hai the goods stored was a
young woman who directed that n receipt Tor
them be made out to Geo. Is. Brock The
warehouse people say the young woman was
Miss Georgia Brock. The trunks were brought
to the warehouse from 367 West Fifty
sixth street. On May 10 the SAM young
woman sent two more trunks to the store
house from 1877 West S!Gty-fourth street. They
were entered as the property Of T.. w. Robin
son, 122 East ChemunG place, Elmira. n. Y.
Tho receipt for these trunks was made out to
Geo. Is. Brock"
