SHOPLlFTE r S
CAUGHT AT
WORK
YOUNG LADY STENOGRAPHGR
PLAYS A BRAVE PART.
She and the Clerks Of McCready''
Store Prove Too Much For
TWO Thieves.

Early yesterday evening two men,
who later gave their names as John
Green and Joseph Martin, entered Nc
CTeady's- clothing store, located at l29
Twenty.fifth street, and requested that
they be shown some articles of cloth
ing. Mr.. McCready happened to be
the one waiting on the men and not
liking their appearance, watched them
closely AS soon as they supposed his
back to be turned toward them, one
seized a hat while the other snatched
a pair Of trousers which they endeav-
ored to conceal beneath their coats.
Mr. McCready, however. noticed the
transaction and quietly slipped to the
door and locked 1T, calling to a clerk
to telephone the police station for Of
flccrs AS soon as the men found they
had been detected in their tnefts they
attempted to reach the outside, but
Mr.. McCready and a clerk intercepted
them, while the young lady cashier
backed up against the door and re-
fused TO be budged.
AS soon as the call was received at
headquarters Officer Bob Chamber
lain and Detective Robt. Burke. accom-
panied by Captain Brown. made nur-
ried dash TO the scene, but went up
against a solid wall of resistance in
tho form of the young lad who was
holding the door closed to all COM
erS both from without and within, Be-
fore long, however, the police gained
admittance and the men were taken
to the station.
1t is the opinion of the police that
the pair are identified with a gang
who have been operating the shopllft-
ing game on Lower Twenty-ffth street
merchants for some time past. and last
nights capture will no doubt prove
an important step in the breaking
up of the gang. ..
The charge preferred against the
men last night was one of petty lar
ceny but If this can be proved no
doubt much more serious charge will
be made against them, providing the
officers working on their past records
are successful In connecting them with
former thefts.
