PROF. TWEEDY'S
PRETTY SERVANT
HELD AS Thief

New Haven, April I'm the effects
of Barbara Prentice, a handsome "a
year old girl, who was arrested late
yesterday afternoon by Detective
Healey on the charge of theft from
Mrs. Tweedy, the wife of Rev. H.
Hallan Tweedy, with whom she had
been living as a domestic servant at
112 Huntington street, for the past
two months, the police have found
enough evidence to make them believe
that she made practice of secur-
ing positions, with fake references, af-
forwards stealing from the houses.
Miss Prentice is extremely progresses
ing in appearance and was in the good
graces of the Tweedys to such an ex-
tent that they We're with difficulty
made to believe that she might be
guilty of the thefts in their house.
clothes bought in Paris as part of
Mrs. Tweedy's rousseau, formed the
principal part of what Miss Prentice
is charged with stealing.
The interest in the case is height
ened by. the fact that the girl positive
ly refused to give the detectives any
clue regarding her past life. When
she secured the position from Mrs.
Tweedy she had a reference from a
Rev. Mr.. Kelsey Of Hartford, which has
later been proved to be fictitious. The
girl''s appearance and her evident de-
sire to keep her past history a secret
has led the detectives to believe that
she may be Of good family.
Some of the stolen articles were
found in the girls room at the Tweedy
home and upon being searched she
was found to be wearing some of the
clothing.
Prof. 5Tweedy is professor of prac-
teal theology in the Yale Divinity
school and the former pastor of the
South Congregational church in
