|, Northampton, Mass, March 20.-Miss

iI'he thefts 10 which she pleaded guilty

were stolen were not read in court and

son had many friends. In Miss Wilson's
room at 0rrin u. Liyermore's house, 1o3
West street, were found numerous hand
kerchiefs, empty pocket books and pieces
Of jewelry, most Of which have been
claimed By students. Many Of the girls
have refused to make complaint
Miss Wilson, who is handsome
brunette about 20 years old, came to
Northampton last September and took
the entrance examination to Smith Col
lcge. The college authorities say she
failed TO pass. AT any rate her name
at present is not on the college enrol,

a great favorite and was counted as
one of the most generous girls in the
college. She spent money lavishly, and
gave theatre parties, straw rides and
suppers to her friends. She was also
popular with the young men and was
frequently invited to social functions at
Amherst College.
While she was at Amherst College on
Saturday evening several Of her Friends
had occasion 10 enter her room. Much
70 their surprise, they discovered ar
ticles which they had missed from their
own rooms, Chief of Police Gilbert was
notified and on Miss Wilson's return
from Amherst she was arrested.

Miss Wilson gave no explanation in
court She pleaded guilty and then left
the court room Her father said there
was no reason why his daughter should
have committed the shefts, zig he had
furnished her with liberal supply Of
spending money. He supposed she was
a student in good standing at college.
Miss Wilson explained TO her friends
recently that her eyes had been bother
ing her and that she was so badly con-
ditioned in several of her studies that
she was not in college temporarily.
The college authorities refuse TO give
list of the thefts committed. 1t il
customary for the students to leave
their doors unlocked, and il is believed
that many other thefts have been com.
initted than those by Miss Wilson. A
woman detective from Boston spent sev-
cral weeks in Northampton recently, fol.
lowing up clues. The arrest OF small
boy followed, but he was responsible for
only few petty thefts.
