Discover Theft
 Before Victim
Detectives Tell East Haven CT of Loss He Didn t Know He'd Suffered Girls Confess to Case.

New Haven. July 19.-It's going some when the police learn of a theft before the victim discovers his loss, and it's still more unusual when they are able to come around and bring him the first information that he has been vfctinized at the same time bearing him the happy news that the thieves have been captured. It's not often that the local detec- tives have a chance to thus prove their worth, but yesterday afternoon it fell to the happy lot of Detective Sergeant Healey and Detective Law Ter, who indeed had difficulty in persuading the loser that he had really been robbed.
 The two detectives were out with the three girls, Philomena and Mary Raggozzino and Christine Carson, who have confessed to a number of thefts and who are showing the off cers where they stole the stuff. We stole $5 from that place" said Philo- mena, pointing to a house just over the line in East Haven. The detec- and seeing man on the porch, ask ed him if anything had been stolen from the house recently.
 The man laughed. Not thing" he said M srd bet yer we did oa steal al the girls. The girl then told how she had entered through the back door and taken some money left un- der match safe on mantel shelf. As the girl went on with her story the mans eyes began to stick out and when she had finished he rushed into the house without saying a word. He came out looking crestfallen. 'tI did put $5 there and it certainly isn't there now" he said and admitted that the detectives had put one over on him.
 Inasmuch as the house was in East Haven and not within their jurisdic- ton the detectives didn't take the mans name.
 The detectives found about 30 more cases of theft which the three young girls have committed bringing the total up to about 60. The girls are between fourteen and sixteen years of age.

RED HAIR WAS NEW TO THEM
Indians for = Long Tine lnsistss
That Whl.s Mans Scalp Must

Forty years ago the Indians n
Colorado knew but little OF the white
man. and nothing hardly Of bis ways
or habits except from tradition.
Among the people who went 10 set
tie in Colorado AZ that time was e
man with very red hair. He and his
party were thrown among the In
dams. who thought al first that his
hair Was painted JUS as they paint
ed their own bodies and faces.
Au old chief came up 70 him one
day and looked At his hair very care
fully.
~Ughl" said he.
And then. turning to the interpreter
who had the party IN charge. he
wanted him 70 ask the man where he
got the kind cf paint that would color
and yet not be greasy Or look dabby
He was told that the mans hair was
not painted. but be would not believe
II. He once more walked up 70 the
man and scrutinized his locks, run
cing his hand through them and look
Ing at his fingers.
The red-haired man became 2 little
nervous. and half fancied that the
chief was calculating how nice a red
scalp would look hung 70 his belt.
The Interpreter. however. laughingly
told the man what the chief had said
Two or three more Of the Indians
then gathered around the party. and
they and the interpreter had a pow
WOW. Finally the interpreter asked
the man II he would object to putting
water on hfs hair
He saw the Indians would not be-
iieve but that It was painted. until
they saw that the water would not
wash the color out. The man took
some water. rubbed Il on his hair.
and then showed bis hands to them,
But It took four or I'VE days Of won
dering examination TO convince them
that he had not found some peculiar
paint and got himself up in bright
