Two Great BurglarIes.

| The Men May Not BE Brought to
washingtonAStran Infatuatfon OF
u White. Girl for One of the Negro
Burglars, Who Luvished Her With
Jewelry.

There is very little doubt now that the
two Washington cOlored crooks recently
CAPTURED in New York, William King and
Henry Wilson, are the ones who committed
the Barnes robbery in that city, and the
local police have given up the idea of hav-
ing them rertnfled here and tried under
under indictmfpts pending against them.
King and Wilson are the negroes who
robbed the residence of Mr.. Louis II. En-
inert, on Fourteenth street, several months
ago, and the indictments against them here
are for that offense. They were seen IN
the hall by Mr.. Emmert's butler, on whom
they Dire W a revolver, nd escaped with their
plunder. They, were also seen trying to
enter the house of Senator Woicott, next
door to Mr.. Emnfert's, but they were fright
ened away.
When the robberies were reported, with
the buffers description or the men, IN
spcCtor HollinDerger's detectives at once
suspected King, and one OF them went 10
New York and had hirn arrested. He was
brought back here, arraigned i'll the police
| court and held in $500 bonds to await the
action OF the grand jury. He gave Dono
and disappeared, and the security has since
been declared forfeited. 1t was learned
/ then that Wi Hson was the other burglar.
and he was included in the indictment
aga inst King.
A STRANGE INFATUATION.
One of the remarkable fea lures of the case
is the mratualion of Annie Renshaw, the
young white girl who was also arrested, Tor
the negro Wilson. The two lived together
in n tenement house at No. l19 East Eighty
fourth street, with the aged mother of the
I girl. The mother informed the police that
| her daughter met Wilson two years ago, and
at once showed great rondneSs for him.
| Since then they have been living together,
| despite the old lady's efforts to separat te
| them.
She formerly. lived in Connecticut, and
shortly after the ill-assOrted pair took up
| their abode she went TO New York To try TO
part them. Her efforts failed, however, and
after administering a good, oid-fashioned
| threshing to her daughter, Site returned to
| her home. Recently she went 10 New York
again. and took up her residence with ser
| daughter. She claims that she is glad the
| expcsere, and arrest have taken place, as IL
will rid her OF Wilson.
The girl, however, Is devoted to him,
and persists in refusing 10 say anything
that win tend in the slightest way to In
| criminate him., When she was arrested
her rooms were searched, and quite ooi-
lection OF valuable jew elry, evidently stolen,
| was found. In n jewel case marked 1lIfany
aismall cameo ring, plain gold ring, Sold
/ locket, a pair OF gold and platinum sleeve
| buttons, u gold scarf pin, silver scarf
holder, four gold collar buttons, loose
diamond, weighing a carat; and matching
one found .iR the band OF Wilson'S hat ana
a morrOccO-covered opera glass In her
purse were found, besides some gold COINS,
| a diamond bar pin, a silver pin with two
hearts, a gold band ring and gold chate-
laine- atch. ~.
BOOTY WAS FOUND.
When the two men were arrested the de-
tectives took from them $3.50 and a number
of valuable diamonds and jeweiry, all OF
which is stolen stuff. 1t is thought, by the
police here, that some of it could be iden-
