STUFFED BABY WITH
LOOT FROM A STORE
But Infant Was a Mechanical Device
and Mother" Went to Jail

PARIS-Parisians read will. interest
of the clever tricks resorted to by
American shoplifters, but they take a
sad pleasure in the belief that the
kleptomaniacs Of their stores are Just
as ingenious. Here is a case in point:
An apparently respectable matron,
carrying an ostensible baby in long
clothes, was observed fumbling at
stall in one Of the big shops of the
Rue de Rivoli. The observers of her
movements were two detectives, who
had followed her into the shop, think
ing that they had seen her before. The
men were correct in their surmises
Tor the matronly person is a profess
sional thief, with many previous con-
Victions.
She was seen lifting several articles
OF cheap jewelry and then walked ON
10 another STALL whence she distracted
some pieces of velvet and silk AS she
was leaving the shop the woman was
arrested. AT the police station she
protested that she was the wrong per-
son, and began TO cry. The ostensible
baby also cried, and the police superin-
tehdent, being evidently a father, lifted
the vel OF the infants face and spoke
soothlng words to the child.
Looking more closely at the baby.
the ponce official noticed that its ewes
We're quite dry and its face bereft of a
trace of life. Tapping the infantile
Vlsage, he found that it was made 6f
cardboard. The bogus baby was a re-
ceptacle for stolen property On its
pody was continuance which when
pressed made the dummy infant emit
cries. The receptacle had inside of it
stolen bracelet and the pieces of vel
vet and silk extracted from the shop.

WAShWOMAN SURE
OF BIG FORTUNE
Mrs. Schiller of Des Moines
Expects to Get Estate
of $4,OOO,OOO

DES MONIES, Ia.-Eighty-one years
old and still earning her living over
the washtub, Mrs. ]. ]. Schiller of this
place hopes soon to be placed in pos
session of the 100000 estate of her
brother, William Rice of New York,
for whose murder Lawyer Patrick is
now under sentence of death in Sing
Sing prison.
Mrs. Schuler is confident that she
will come into her fortune, but she
cannot now afford to stop the daily
task that is keeping the wolf from the
door. With her husband, she lives in
modest home in Highland Park. She
takes in washing. while her husband
does odd jobs and gardening. In this
manner they manage to exc out an ex-
istence. Both are old and feeble.
Daughter Reads of Murder
The aged woman discovered her
brothers estate in a peculiar manner.
Four years ago her daughter was read
ing aloud an account of the sensational
Rice murder in New York.
why. 1 had a brother named Will
lam Rice" said Mrs. Schiller, but
have not seen him for twenty years."
Investigation was made, and Mrs.
Schiller soon discovered beyond a
doubt that the murdered millionaire
was indeed her missing brother. Mrs.
Schiller wouldn't employ attorneys TO
push her claim to the estate because
she didn't want TO risk losing her little
home in a vain search after possible
millions. Finally, however, New York
lawyers learned of her relationship and
hunted her up. They have satisfied
themselves now that Mrs. Schiller is
really sister of the murdered man.
Relatives Seeking Wealth
Altogether there are half a dozen
different brothers and sisters laying
claim to the 100000 estate. Some of
the brothers or sisters are dead, and
their children are the claimants. The
estate will probably not be settled up
for some time, as the probate diff
culties continue to increase.
Recently Mrs. Schuler was visited by
Mrs. Patrick, wife of the man who is
now condemned to die in the electric
chair for killing her brother.
