 Flora Normandy Arrested for Theft
 from Her Companion.
 Detective Sergeant Dennehy yesterday arrested Mrs. Flora Normandy alias Mabel Adams alias Mabel Verman, on the charge of stealing a $75 gold watch and $25 in money from young cigar maker whose name was withheld by the detective last night. It seems that the Normandy woman and a girl friend were at Savin Rock Saturday night with two men and remained there until a late hour, when they returned to the city. They went to the Windsor cafe on state street about o'clock yesterday morning and had lunch, after which the girl went home. Mrs Normandy and her eom- panion repaired to a place where fur nished rooms are rented and about o'clock the cigarmaker woke up and found that the woman had disappeared. He then looked through his pockets and found that his watch and his money were gone,
 He notified the police after daylight and Sergeant Dennehy was detailed on the case The cigarmaker did not know the name of the woman, but described her to the detective as best he could, Sergeant Dennely located the girl who was with Mrs. Normandy earlier in the night and searched the furnished room houses about the central part of the city without finding Mrs. Normandy. Final ly the girl told him that the woman lived in house on Wooster street near Brewery street and Denehy went to the house indicated He searched the rooms but did not find the woman he was at- ter. Finally he saw that a ladder was up to skylight in the garret and think ing that she might have escaped to the roof he went out on the roof and looked there without success.
 He then returned to the garret and found one room of which the door was locked on the inside. He was about to break the door ill when it was opened and Mrs. Normandy appeared. She ad- mitted being with the cigarmaker the
  watch and money. The girl who had piloted Dennehy to the house advised her to give up the watch, and acting on this advice Mrs. Normandy went to one end of the garret and taking a cover out of stovepipe hole drew forth the watch and handed 1t to the detective She denied taking the $25, but on being advised by the girl to give that up also, she returned to the chimney hole whera she said she had placed it. but putting back the cover of the hole she had showed the roll of bills through and it fell down the chimney.
 Sergeant Dennehy has ascertained that there is in the roll of bills besides the $25 stolen Saturday night $65 which he thinks the woman stole from an- other man about a week ago. Mrs. Nor mandy is locked up at police headquar- ters and will be in the city court this morning She is about twenty-seven years of age and wore Saturday night a red dress and green hat.
