A handsome, well dressed young woman robbed
Smith college students of $50 to $500 Friday.
She called at different dwellings occupied by the
students and during their absence entered their
rooms aud took all the cash she could find. Al
one house she was met at the door by the matron,
but she disarmed suspicion by inquiring for one
of the students who was out II is evident that
the thief knew the territory thoroughly and that
she had resources to fall back on when things
did not 90 smoothly.
