| IS DISCOVERED

and committed to Jail Tuesday night
was pretty conclusively established
Yesterday morning. Notwithstanding
| her reticence there seems to he no
doubt that one is Mrs, Krebs of North
cumberland. The identity of the other
| woman has been established as Mrs.
Laura Harr of Milwaukee. Her par
ents live at Cowan, Union county,
this State.
Yesterday morning the police made
| a round of the stores to see il any ad-
| ditional goods could be found in the
form of packages left there by the two
shoplifters to be called for later. The
set of furs and the Sl5 skirt missed by
Abram Rosenstein were recovered, in
addition to which the police recover
ed a fine umbrella at Emerick's ten
cent store, which was identified by
| Fred Howe as his property. The two
women arrested had purchased plate
! at limerick 5 for ten cents using this
as pretext for visiting the store in
order to leave the umbrella there. The
plate. along with the umbrella, of
course, was left at the store AS is
customary when packages are left to
be called for later the saleslady placed
| the name of the purchaser on the pack
| age. In this instance she didn't know
the purchaser, and was obliged to ask
her name. In reply the woman who
had bought the plate, later distinguish
| ed as Lizzie Doe, tall stout, and
wearing eye glasses gave the name,
"Mrs Krebs. - When the plate with
the umbrella was brought to the office
of Justice Oglesby yesterday morning
one of the first things noted was the
name written on the package which
confirmed runoTs as to the woman S
identity current the evening before.
She is said to be the wife of we'll
known railroad man, who owns nice
home in Northumb 5rland and to have
been conspicuously before the public
| on previous occasion.
During the forenoon representa-
tive Of the News called at the Jail.
| The two women behind the bars learn
| ing of his presence expressed desire
to see him. An interview followed.
The fair prisoners evidently had had a
hard night of it, They seemed hag-
gard and weary they had neglected
to "tix up and altogether their ap-
pearance was quite different FROM
what they presented the afternoon be-
fore when they were doing the
stores They begged OF the newspaper
man to be easy on them They were
exceedingly anxious that their real
names be kept out of the paper, should
these be discovered; they suggested
that if it were necessary to allude to
them in print that the paper continue
to speak OF them as Lizzie Doe" and
"Sallie Roe" and were lavish in their
promises of reward, if their request
be complied with.
They were asked how they happen
ed to become implicated in what was
so evidently bold aud wholesale
piece of thievery.
"God only knows, F." replied Lizzie
Doe" " as she heaved a deep sigh.
which was almost a groan. She then
told story, which is quite remark
able-if true.
Ga Tuesday morning accompanied
by her friend, she said, she left home
for the purpose of visiting relative
at the hospital for the insane at this
place She is troubled with bad
heart and on her way to this city was
taken sick on the cars. The fellow
passengers were sympathetic and help
full and a gentlemen offered her a
drink of brandy. Hoping for relief in
her distress she thankfully accepted
the brandy. What strange quality the
liquor possessed she does not know,
but the effect was such as she had
never experienced before. The next
that she remembered the two were
drinking at hotel in this city and
then all was blank to her until she
found herself in the office of Justice
Oglesby.
"Sallie Roe" was also anxious to
keep out of the public print In reply
to question whether she did not live
in Williamsport, she demanded to
know 'who ever said anything like
that" denying that she was from that
place. She declared that she was from
the west and was only east on visit.
She strenuously refused to divulge
either her name or residence
"Lizzie Doe" said she had hopes
that her husband would appear and
act as bondsman to secure her release.
Of this, however. she did not appear
over confident Sallie hoe how
ever, was buoyed up by no such hopes
In reply to a question she shook her
! head mournfully and remarked - There
is DO one anywhere about the East
whom could expect TO go NY bail. "
Yesterday afternoon + Q. Krebs, of
Northumberland, called at the News
office, explaining that ne was the hus-
baud of Mrs. Krebs. The object of his
visit TO town, he said, was to procure
bail for his wife and, if possible. for
b tn women. He was in communica-
tion with friends III Berwick, whom
he expected to meet hin in Danville.
