In Poiicec Court yesterday Lillian Rich
ardson, OF 11I Delaware avenue south
west. was sentenced BY Judge Kimball 10
fifteen days in the workhouse in default
Of IS fine.
Shortly before midnight Saturday. while
making their usual patrol OF the local
harbor, Policemen Osterman and Charles
Little were attracted by the screams OF
a woman calling FOR help from the Poto-
mac flats. In the park. directly opposite
Twelfth street. they found Lillian Rich

ney, OF this city, who had also answered
the call The woman was in a drunken
condition. abusive in her language, and
tried 10 resist arrest
Her arrest clears a mystery that has
long bafHed the police. II seems that for
the last three months the most pitiful and
distressing cries OF murder and appeals
10; help have been heard by residents
along the river front. Every investigation
by the police proved futile.
The convicted one had been arrested a
number o. times previous on charges OF
disorderly conduct, and Il was noted that
after her arrest on July -. when she
served n sentence OF five days. these mid
night shrieks were not heard. It is
the opinion OF the police that the woman

MISS CROAKE COMES TODAY.
One of Three Women Arrested in
Chicago for Alleged Forgery.

Chicago for Alleged Forgery.
Advices received at police headquarters
last night state that Mrs. IL z. Edwards
and her daughter, Mrs. c. c. Olcott and
their companion, Miss Anna Croake. the
three women arrested in the Auditorium
Annex, Chicago. last Thursday night on
request OF the Philadelphia and Wash
ington authorities. on q charge OF false
pretense and forgery, were given hear
ing before United States Commissioner
FOote yesterday.
Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Olcott were
turned over 20 Detective Boyle Of Phla-
delphia, who will take the two women 20
that city for trial for alleged forgery.
Miss CrOake waived her rights under
extraditOn proceedings and consented 10
return to Washington 70 stand trial un-
der the charge Of alleged false pretense.
She protested her innocence. saying she
had no knowledge Of any wrongdolng or
anything 20 DO with the passing OF the
alleged forged checks.
She will come to Washington this morn
ing in charge OF Deputy United States
Marshall Z. r. Davis.
The explanation as to why Mrs. Ed
wards and Mrs. Olcott were surrendered
TO the Philadelphia authorities and Miss
Croake 70 the Washington police is that
the Philadelphia police asked Chicago TO
arrest the two women before Washington
was heard from. they being charged with
forgery in Philadelphia. Miss Croake is
not charged with any ofense in Phila-
delphia, hence she was surrendered to
the Washington police.
