OCEAN SPRINGS.
Female Robbsr Secured Much Plunder.

More sensational features were added
to the arrest Tuesday night of Lille
Sutton, who was caught breaking in
and entering the home of Fred. Abbey.
Bond has been furnished for her release,
and today Officer Taylor made rigid
search of /her premises. There was
plunder of every imaginable description,
and pocketbooks, handbags and satchels
by the dozen. People who had been
robbed a year ago could identify their
stolen property, and many identified
their table linen, pocketbookS with
their names thereon and other things.
The officer took possession of bag of
pocketbooks and bag containing S573-
$50 in nickels, $40 in quarters and the
rest in currency. The money seemed
peculiar: it was tied up in little separate
bundles of paper, ranging from 80 cents
up. This explains little thefts that have
beeno ccurring from time to time for sew
eral years back. She was Immediately
re-arrested and put in Jail by Officer
Taylor. Lille Sutton is white woman
andwill be tried before Mayor Weed for
petty larceny and then tried by Justice
Hing for grand larceny.
