WOMAN THIEF
SAYS GUILTY
Carrie Foster Owns Up TO Horse
Stealing.

Rutland, Aug. 4.-Carrie Foster,
one of the few women horse thieves in
the country, who after a long chase
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff f. c.
Fish at Ogdensburg, n. Y, recently,
was today bound over to await the ac-
tion of the county court and bail was
fixed by Justice Wayne Bailey at
$1,000.
In default of bail she was placed in
the county Jail. 1t was found today
that the prisoner had record at the
institution, having served 10 months
there in 1899 on a sentence by Bur
lington Judge for larceny. Mrs ID. l..
Morgan first recognized the woman as
former inmate, but when asked If she
had not been there before, the Foster
woman very caustically denied that
she had. Investigation of the records
however, proved that she was mistak.
en-.
She was arraigned before Justice
Bailey today at the institution on the
charge of horse stealing, the first case
of the kind on record in the county, if
not in the state. She pleaded guilty,
waived examination and was bound
over.
