NURSE GONRESSES
HOSPITAL THEPTS
Kleptomaniac Breaks Down
in Cross-examination.

A series Of petty thefts among nurses
at the Washington Asylum Hospital came
to a climax yesterday, when one of their
number. under cross-examination, con-
fessed that she was the guilty one.
For several weeks valuables and loose
change had been disappearing from the
nurses quarters. and at first the en-
ployes were suspected, but this suspicion
proved unfounded Gradually the sums
of money lost became larger. Miss
Bertha Bruchlacher missed several dollar
Ellis from her purse, and Miss Harriet
Sutton was later robbed of $3.50. Next,
Miss Gertrude Foote was relieved OF
$3.50, and another nurse of the contents
of Christmas box sent from her home.
When Miss Adelaide Parsons, the su-
perintendent OF nurses, received the re-
port that S24 had been stolen from Miss
Lizzie Cusack, the hospital cook, whose
room is on the same floor with several
of the nurses. she decided that the time
had come for an investigation. She was
confirmed in this opinion by discovering,
when she opened her desk, that same
morning, that $50 Of her money was
missing.
Detective Armstrong, of the Central
ofice, made an investigation. The re-
suit of his findings narrowed the field
down to a single nurse, and she was put
through cross-examination. Finally
she broke down and confessed that ever
since she could remember she had been
a kleptomaniac. She had spent none Of
the stolen money and had not used any
of the property. so no charge was pre-
ferred against her.
The guilty nurses name was not given
out by the hospital authorities. Her
resignation was accepted, and she left
the institution last night.

formation. The clerk, therefore. with
drew the information and entered a
charge of disorderly conduct against the
boys. The youngsters pleaded guilty.
Hugh was sent to the care of the Board
OF Children's Guardians for the space Of
year. Judge De Lacy then sentenced
Wesley to the Reform School, but the
tears Of the boys mother moved the
judge, and he decided to remand the
young defendant to the house of deten-
tion for sentence this afternoon. The
officers who arrested the boys testified
that the gang Of youthful robbers had
entered a number of stores during the
past few weeks. Hugh and Wesley cor
roborated the statements of the police
men. other members OF the gang will
probably be prosecuted also.

sary on his ship, the torpedo boat Bid

Railway Commission Grants Six
Months Stay to Companies.

Permission to continue the use of trail
ers on the lines OF the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, and of the
Capital Traction Company until July /,
1912, was granted these companies yes
ferday afternoon by the District Electric
Railway Commission.
The traction companies, under the or
der of June 10, $780, were to have dis
continued the use of all trailers Decem-
Der 81, 1911. Under this law they could
not legally use such cars after midnight
Sunday night
Several days ago the companies filed
applications with the railway commission
asking that they be allowed to continue
the use Of the trailers. 1t was pointed
out that the use of trailers has been dis
continued on the Pennsylvania and New
Jersey avenue lines, but that the time
allowed them was too brief to bring
about the elimination of trailers on all
lines.
The commission has completed ar
rangements for testing the air in street
cars and these tests will be made next
week.
