Purse Stolen.
ROSE LEVINE ARRESTED
She Is Accused of Having Taken the
Money - An Investigation Before
Judge Fitzgerald-The Case Taken
Under Amusement.

Il A man who carries the sum of $S5
with him when he makes a call to the
bad lands is sure to have bad luck. and
hereafter the odds are in favor of his
being "broke" when he comes back
from his trip. This fact was shown
yesterday morning when a young man
X who claims to be a sailor was relieved
! quite mysteriously of a pocket book
! containing $S5. This is the second time
! inside of three days that a man has
been robbed of $S5. The first time
was on Sunday morning, when Minnie
Robinson was arrested on the charge
of having stolen $S5 from a man named
John Neuman, who had called on her
at her cabin. This time it is a man
named Mike Mikley, who said he had
been employed on the Oceanic and Cum
ard steamship lines. He went down in
Mainville on Sunday evening and spent
much of his time in the company of
Grace Carlysle. About o'clock yes
terday morning he went into Pat La
wins saloon in company of Grace and
they had a good time. They danced
and sang, until suddenly. Grace asked
Mike If he still had his pocket-book.
He looked into his pocket and found it
was gone. He then called the officers
and said: II have been robbed of my
purse, and as l lost 1T in this place.
want everybody searched" The place
was searched, but no pocket book was
found and the officers went out to
search for woman named Rose Le-
vine, who was in the saloon at the
time, but who had left the place just
previous ITO the time .Mikley missed his
purse. The woman was not in her
cabin, but was arrested on Main street
at o'clock.
The investigation into the charge
took place yesterday afternoon before
Judge Fitzgerald, and it was made
quite lively by County Attorney Duffy,
who conducted the prosecution, and At
torney j. r. Boarman, who looked
after the defense of Rose Levine.
Judge FITZGERALD had to call the two
gentlemen to order several times in the
course of the investigation.
During the hearing of the evidence of
Grace Carlysle, an animated discussion
rose between the two counsel, it being
brought out by Mr.. Duffy that a few
minutes before she had heen called to
testify, Grace Carlysle had told him
that she had seen Rose take the pock-
et-book, but when called on the stand
she denied this and said she had told
Mr.. Duffy that she believed Rose must
have taken the pocket-book. Attorney
Boarman asked the court that the
witness be restrained from answering
whether or not she had told Mr.. Duffy
that she had seen Rose take the pocket
book, but the court did not grant his
demand. Grace Carlysle testified that
the accused and herself were not on
the best of terms. and that on the
morning of the arrest she had said that
she would have her (Rose) sent up for
six months. She also struck Rose in
the face with her fist.
At the conclusion of her evidence,
the state rested and Attorney Boar
man made a motion to have the case
dismissed, but his. motion was over
ruled.
The other witnesses who testified
were Rose Levine, the accused, Officer
McMasters, Fred Wilson and Tom Cot
ter
The case was taken under advise
ment by Judge Fitzgerald until 10
O'Clock this morning, and Rose Levine
was allowed out on a $500 bond.
