A Gerry Society Agent said the Money She
Earned Was Needed by Her Family.
Frances Klayman. the fifteen ear old girl of
Al Allen street who was arrested for shoplifting
Thursday afternoon in Altman & Co.'s dry
goods store, was again arraigned in Jefferson
Market Court yesterday. She was accompanied
by her mother. Both wept bitterly when she
was arraigned.
Gerry Agent Roberts testified that he had
called at the home Of the girl and found that
the family was in poor circumstances. The
mother. a widow, he said. worked for So q week,
and Frances had lately been working In a fire
eale " on the east side for 81 a week. He said
that the family really needed the money earned
by the girl. and as she had borne good reputa-
ton until this arrest he suggested that she bo
discharged.
Special Officer Kash. who made the arrest.
said that the firm did not want to press tho
charge against the girl. The prisoner said that
she had seen the articles on the floor and
had picked them up. thinking that some
customer had dropped them. She said that the
pair OF roller skates belonged to her, and had
been given the skates by another girl.
Magistrate Wentworth said that he did not
like TO discharge the girl as she had confessed
guilty. Then. too. he said. it was not safe to
allow her TO think that she would not be punished
for theft. The Magistrate succumbed finally to
the entreatics OF the girl and her mother and
discharged her from custody on the promise OF
the mother that II tho girl offended again tho
former would herself ask that the latter be
committed to some institution.
