among certain families in Writings
400"
The young woman was Mrs. Ruth
Brooks, who came to Whiting the
early part of January and was en-
ployed as servant girl by Mrs. Joseph
Murphy of No 20 New York avenue.
Mrs. Brooks claimed to be a widow
and to have a child 8 years old. This
story yielded its full supply of SYM
pathy-so much that when Mrs.
Brooks took her departure from the
Murphy home some three months ago
she readily found employment at
the home of James Arundel on Sheri-
dan avenue.
The girls work was very salts
factory and she continued in her en-
ployment until Mrs. Arundel be-
came suspicious that all was not 60
ing right.
The first appearance of anything
wrong was when Mrs. Arundel
about month ago-after returning
from Chicago hospital-missed sew
eral articles of silverware. Thinking
that these had been misplaced. she
made no accusations, but sudden dis
appearances increased to such an ex-
tent that Mrs. Arundel felt that some
thing must be done.
Accordingly, yesterday afternoon
she sent Mrs. Brooks on an errand
and during her absence secured the
key to her trunk and commenced the
investigation. On opening the trunk
several pieces of silverware and arti-
cles of clothing were found as evil
dence of the young woman's guilt.
Shortly after this the girl returned
and on being confronted with her
guilt, broke down and confessed all
her minor thefts.
A policeman was called and the
entire case rehearsed before him, sug-
gestion being made that she be pros
ecuted and made to pay the penalty
of her evil ways.
Mrs. Arundel, however, relented.
and promised not to act against the
young woman on condition that she
leave the house and try to abstain
from such actions in the future. This
Mrs. Brooks tearfully consented to
do and the last news was that the
young woman intended to leave the
city.
