year or more after the occurrence Of
the incident just related, when the
same detective while rambling about
the city CHANGED to meet well
dressed woman who bore a marked
resemblance to the little milliner. She
turned her head and gave him a side
glance as he passed. He kept along
at considerable distance and turned
just in time to catch sight of her as
she stepped into Johnsons millinery
establishment. Taking up a position
at point diagonally across the street,
and sheltering himself a little in q
doorway, he was enabled to distin-
guish persons as they passed in and
out Of the shop. While he stood
watching, bright looking boy came
along with a bundle Of newspapers
under his arm. The detective called
him UP and bargained with him to
do a little piping" for him. When
the suspected woman came out of the
millinery store she was pointed out
to the boy who was told to follow her
and, If possible, trace her to her
home. The boy was promised SIS for
the job If his information proved to
be correct, and he was to meet the
officer later and report When the
boy came back to the officer he had
followed the woman to little shop
on Ninth avenue. He said she went
in and took off her bonnet as though

The detective reported meeting the
woman who had SO nicely escaped
him and had located her in a small
store on Ninth avenue where there
hung over the door a sign that read
Fine Millinery Work Done Here"
1t was quite reasonable to believe
that the woman was none other than
the naughty little milliner from New
Orleans and that she was then doing
business in New York. Officer Fitz-
patrick of New Orleans was the only
detective on the force that could pos
itively identify her, but 1t wouldn't
do to bring him for that purpose as
she would be sure to see him first,
and having been put upon her guard
she might fly away.
The idea was to plan a ruse for the
purpose of capturing her with evil
dence to convict. For this purpose
