81 years old. OF 4O5 East 18th street. was
locked up in the East Ffty-frst street
station last night on the charge Of begging
and obtaining money under false pre-

about through the shrewdness Of twelve
year-old Sadie Murty Of 9i2 Second avenue.
The police say the woman is a member of
a gang Of beggsrs who have been syste-
matically getting money from people on
the East Side.
The Meyer woman called on Mrs Finley

The supposed sister took the girl out
with her, and, according to the girl they
went from house 70 house begging. When

Meyer woman said she was connected with
st. Gabriels Church in East Thirty-seventh

When Mrs. Finley came to the station
and was told that tho woman was an i'm

licernen had to hold her to keep her away
from the Never woman.
