DETECTIVE CHIEF
WARNS NATR0N5
Tells Public to Beware of Balti.
more Woman Who May
Come Here for Change.

Captain Mcmahon wishes to warn all
householders in Richmond to beware
of dark woman, of Baltimore. who
may come here for change of air and
also little pocket change, as she is
not wanted any more in the Monument
tai City.
The dark woman. who is five feet
seven inches tall, and who. when she
pulled off" her last job, was CARRIED
in dark attire, has peculiar and win
ming way. She is in the habit of in
sorting advertisements in the newspa-
pers for servant girls, who are to get
$50 month. She usually gets numer-
Gus replies, and from the number of
applicants selects one, who is con-
federate. and sends her TO a home
where things are known TO be easy
and jewelry and money plentiful.
Then late one night the servant skips
out with all the jewelry and money she
can lay her hands on, and is met by
the employment bureau and male
escort in an automobile. She is Mhiskeu
away, and in some lonely hyway the
valuables are divided, and some other
distant seaport Is decided upon as a
scene of operations.
The woman has been remarkably
successful in many cities. and has
never once been apprehended. SO, ma
irons, beware and be careful.
