of $4,000 Was Placed.

For several months the police have
been receiving reports Of many rob-
berries. mostly on the West Side. and a.
most invariably OF clothing. The extent
Of the pilfering may he Judged when it is
known that the police estimate the total
value Of the stuff stolen as being close
to $4,000. The property usually con-
sisted OF valuable furs and costly even
ing dresses, and the complaints to the
police came from a wide area The de-
tectves from Headquarters have spent
many sleepless nights trying to figure
out way to catch the clothing thief.
and they believe that at last they have
solved the mystery.
Last night Lieutenant Kear and De-
tective Flynn. Of the West 6Sth street
station. who have been detailed on some
Of the robberies. watched negro woman
as she entered a pawnshop in Ninth
avenue near Seth street. They slipped
into the rear door Of the place, they say,
and saw the woman about to pawn
quantity Of clothing. including a fur
overcoat.
According to the detectives. the cloth
ing was stolen from the home Of Jo-
sephine Higgins. Of No 2i5 West 10th
street. three or four days ago. The prop
erty the woman was trying to pawn. 1t is
said. Is valued at $500
After the woman had been taken 10
Headquarters. she gave her name as An
nie Carter of Kingston. ~ Y. but the
detectives smiled in her face and said
they recognized her as Annie Wilson. Of
No. 40S West 36th street. They also had
other unknd things to say about Annie.

that more than forty irate victims of An

Annie did not deign 10 refute all their

Since Annie would not talk about her
self the detectives supplied the gap
caused by her modesty. They believe
she is more or less directly connected
with the series of robberies that have
been puzzlng persons throughout the
city for the last six months. a peculiar
feature of the robberies has been that
invariably only clothing has been taken,
in many cases jewelry worth thousands
of dollars having been left untouched
