rested

BERKELEY, May 24.-Charged with
having robbed a mans pockets last
night on a streetcar. Miss Jennie
Ehlers, a pretty domestic in the employ
of the Manhattan hotel, Richmond, is
now in the Berkeley police station
awaiting the officers who are to take
her to the Alameda county JAIL pending
a complaint which Will be sworn to by
her aecuser.
She is accused by Antoine Bonini, a
quarry employe, who states that on the
northbound county line car last night
just within the Berkeley line Miss
Ehlers picked his pockets OF s12. Bo-
mini is resident of Schmidtville, a
quarry near Richmond, and had been In
Oakland celebrating, according to the
opinion of the police.
The girl absolutels denies the accusa-
tion, claiming that the man attempted
TO address her. but that she, thinking
him drunk, ignored him. The first she
knew of impending trouble was when
Policeman Jones took her of the car at
the corner of San Pablo and Univer-
sity avenues and hurried her to the
