Police Kept Busy Saturday in Detect
 A,rr ln

| Police Kept Busy Saturday in Detect ing Their Expectations. The local detective bureau was kept | busy Saturday afternoon and evening in rounding up shoplifters, who seemed to have chosen that day as one on which to carry on their operations in unusually bold defiance of the law.
 The arrest of Joseph and Mary Pow ell and their five-year old daughter Annie in the afternoon by Detective Smith, resulted in a rich haul as the result of the search instituted on the Powell home at 6 Lafayette street. Goods of all kinds, including watches, jewelry and dry goods, were found to the approximate value of between $1,5OO and $2,0OO. About one-third of the goods have thus far been identified. The Malley company were victims to the extent of $500, Ewen Mcintyre X Go. $100, Mende X Freedman $10O, Howe & Stetson $30 and Moses $10. The Powell woman was arrested some months ago for stealing potatoes from a grocery store and has hitherto been suspected of shoplifting.

All of them had in their possession and concealed about their persons dress goods, waists and gloves taken from Mendel & Freed mans, McIntyre's and other New Ha- ven stores. The woman is the wife of taller, earning $7 per week. She had in her possession two purses containing an aggregate sum of $15.S6. The older of the two girls affirms that she saw her mother steal the articles, after which they were given to the former to carry She also acknowledges having seen her younger sister steal
 Detectives McGrath Ward and Dun- lap proceeded to the womans house after the capture, where they were met by another daughter, aged ten, who tried to delude them into the belief that the mother did not reside there. The officers entered and discovered in va rious hiding places about the house a collection of new goods amounting in value to $500. The goods were conveyed to police headquarters.
 About the same time Saturday even- ing as the arrest of the Goldstelns Mary Connolly and Mary Kelly, middle-aged women about whom little is known, were arrested for stealing several bot ties of whiskey from tile saloon of P w. Cameron at 725 State street.
