Detectives Frazer and Lavalle re-
turned from Chicago yesterday with
Lulu Foster and Clara Banks, white
women supposed to have been impli-
Gated in the burglaries for which three
nolored men, Lefty Jackson, Marion
Brown and Mack Franklin, are under
arrest at the Central station. The de-
tectives brought back two trunks full
of plumber, a considerable portion of
which has already been identified. The
police as yet have but two trunks in
their possession, as one of the women
swallowed the baggage check as soon
as arrested, and it will be necessary
to go through some legal process be-
fore the railroad will release the third
trunk
Lulu Foster was arrested under the
name of Allie Jackson and claims to
be Lefty" Jackson's wife. She is said
by the police to be one of the most no
torious female crooks in the country.
When arrested by the Chicago detec-
tives, her identity was not established.
Detective Frazer recognized her the
moment he entered the Harrison street
station.
Valuable Plumber Found.
When the trunks were searched at
the Central station twenty gold
watches, sealskin sacques, pins, jew
elry of all kinds and considerable
amount of female apparel was diseov-
cred. John G. Shea, of the Colonnade
hotel, identified his watch and some
pins, Which We're taken from his fiat a
couple of weeks ago. Fred De Wilde,
whose room in the Windsor hotel was
robbed last Monday night, identified
his watch. Belle Gordon, lat West
Third street, identified one of the seal
skin sacques. A considerable portion
of the jewelry found in the trunks is
said to belong to Nellie Bryant, of Min
neapolis.
The police believe that the plumber
already recovered will reach a valua-
ton of $4,000, with another trunk yet
to be searched. BY far the greater
part of the goods recovered belongs to
Minneapolis residents, as the quin-
tette has been operating there for
many months past.
Allie. Jackson, alias May Clark, alias
Lulu Foster, was tried for murder in
Chicago eight years ago, but was ac-
quilted. She was accused of killing
| case was a sensational one for some
time. The jackson woman claimed the
killing was done by Stella King. In
other respects she has a long record of
crime in many of the larger cities of
the country. Little is known of the
| other woman, except that in 1899 she
was living at her home in small town
in Illinois. During 1900 she went to
Chicago. where she was employed as a
waitress in restaurant, where she be-
gan her career.
Came Back Willingly.
Both women agreed to come to st.
Paul without extradition papers, al
though they were advised by their
friends to make a fight. The Jackson
woman claims the reason she waived
her rights was that the women's de-
.partment of the Harrison street station
in Chicago was not clean enough.
The five prisoners will have a pre-
liminary hearing in the police court
Monday, by which time the complaint
will have been made out and filed.
Shea and De Wilde yesterday served
garnishment papers on Chief OConnor
to recover the money found on Lefty
Jackson and Allie Jackson. Each had
$l2l sewed up in their wearing apparel
Shea lost $76 in cash and De Wilde
lost $685.
The police maintain that they have a
clear case against all the prisoners and
Chief O'Connor is well satisfied with
the work. Although little was said
about it. the police began to work dill
gently Immediately after the report of
the first burglary in st. Paul Now
that the gang has been entirely round
ed up. they feel that it will be some
time before any porch climbers" and
second-story workers" will invade the
town
