LOST A PILE OF MONEY.
Woman Charged with Theft RE-
leased for Want of Evidence.

Suspected of the theft of SIS. Lucille
Rice, known as Iris Elliot, was in GUS
tody for a short while yesterday. The
woman was arrested by Detective
Frank Wall, but the officer was unable
to obtain sufficient evidence to war
rant his holding her for a preliminary
. examination.
Only money was stolen and the de-
tective had no way of identifying the
property. So certain was he, however,
that the woman was guilty of the theft,
and that she is a rather dangerous per-
son to have floating around, that he
has ordered her to leave the city. In
the event that she refuses to obey the
orders of the police, she will be re-
arrested and arraigned before Recorder
Myrick in Police Court.
