to be held for the officers Of Portland.
The charge against the two was that
the woman had robbed "A wealthy re.
tired butcher named Anton Fritz of
nearly $4,000 and that she and Morgan
had made away with the money
The particulars OF the case have al.
ready been published In the News"
Fritz was strolllng along the streets of
Portland when he was accosted by the
Adams woman, colored, who said that
she had lost her way. The obliging
butcher CALAMITY volunteered To con.
duct her to the place she sought. After
persuading her escort to enter into The
shadows of church door, where she
threw her arms about him In endear
ment, and at the same time picked his
pocket, Miss Adams came TO the con-
clusion that she could find her way
home alone.
shortly Afterwards Fritz DISCOVERIES
his loss and reported the matter to the
police. His story OF having had 80
much money on his person was dIsbe-
lieved by the officers, but Il has since
been fully established that he really
had the amount Of cash stated. Trau-
PIE that he had had with an order of

rather than to deposit 1t In n bank. The
