ARREST GIRLS AS
PETTY THIEVES

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Special.
Two girls, each sixteen years old,
pretty and well dressed. were ar
rested Monday by Central Office
Detectives Hewlett and Pratt
charged with having stolen six
rings from G. Il. karr. n jcwcIer.
The pair described themselves as
Lottie LOehi and Helen Wood
ward.
When taken before Inspector
Boardman at headquarters, the
police say, they confessed between
sobS that they had paid half
dozen visits together to the store
and walked out each time with Il
ring. The six stolen rings are
valued at a little more than 500.
Each wore one ring when arrest
ed. Three others were recovered
from pawnshOps. They could not
recollect what disposition they
haG made of the sixth.
The girls were taken TO the
house OF detention for action by
the Juvenile Court. Their parents
were notified of their predica-
ment, and they were soon re-
leased, however, on $50 bond TO
appear before Judge DeLacy. The
methods employed to obtain the
AAhSso arc thO0C AllONH 10 DO-
lice as "pennyweight' thcfts.
"Pennyweight' thieves enter
store together and ask TO he
shown some rings. While eXamin-
ing them they deftIy palm them,
one at q time, and hand back to
the person behind the counter
cheap duplicates, escaping before
detection. The detectives say the
girls were clever at the trick. At
the jewelers. il was said Il young
woman waited on the accused six
tunes before they were suspected.
Their visits began month ago.
each time after inspecting tray
fui of rings they walked out with
one, the police say. Their last
visit took place Saturday. After
they had departed the proprietor
became suspicious and inspected
his stock. Finding six cheap rings
in his trays, he suspected these
girls and furnished an accurate
description of the pair. Helen
Woodward was arrested in a thc-
atcr and the other on Il Street,
near Thirteenth, few minutes
later. n craving for Jewels was
blamed by both girls for their
TROUBLES. The most valuable ring,
worth $40, is still missing.

The testimony of Schepps has
been cOrrObOrated by more than
five witnesses whom L personally
questioned. believe ScheppS
from the beginning to the end,
and L am confident that his teSti-
mony at Becker's trial cannot be
broken by Bccker's lawyers in any
way.
The State is ready to 60 ahead
with the trial, and nothing but
an unusual decision by a Supreme
Court justice can stop the trial
from beginning on the date set.
IF application is made for n
new commission i shall fight its
