Loses $84-Roll, Wednesday Evening
--Has TWOCOlOred Women Arrested

Because of an experience which was
his, Wednesday evening. George r.
White, carpenter. who boards in Flagg
street place, is convinced of the truth
of saying: Dark deeds for dark
places" and he is still further con-
WINGED of its truth by the fact that
the perpetrators of the deed (for there
We're two of them of which he was
the victim. were as dark as the deed
itself, they being colored. TO tell the
story briefly, Mr.. White was held up
by two Negro women while ON the
way to his boarding house and re-
leved II the sum of $s4 in bills. which,
laCKing two half dollars, was the con-
tents of his pocketbook.
The details Of the holdup. as learned
from Deputy Marshal Ghoate, were
that rs Mr.. White was going home
from down town, at about S.45 in tho
evening, he was stopped On the stone
steps leading from the Maine Central
tracks up Oak street, by two colored
women both of whom treated him in
the most friendly manner. and one of
~nom manifested an unmistakable
desire tn monopolize his society. Dur
ing the interview the women, in their
1nlfeStatlOnS, succeeded in getting
their arms around him and crowding
close to him, and it was not without
some little difficulty that he succeeded
IN convincing chem that their society
was not desired. Finally. however, ho
got rid of them and made his WY t.
his boarding place
The cause of the attention which the
two women had given him was some
thing of IA mystery until he had reach
ed, his room and had made the dis
coVery that his pocketb6ok had been
relieved of its contents. and that in
stead of containing the $50 in bank
notes there Was nothing inside but
pieces of the colored cover of BoS-
ton Sunday paper, neatly folded so
as to be about the size of banknotes,
and two half dollars.
Mr.. White at once hurried down to
Water street, where he found Night
Officer Corbett. and to him he reported
the fact that he had been robbed. The
officer at once reported the matter to
Deputy Marshal Choate and also re-
ported that the two women had been
seen taking O'Clock ear from Au-
eusta. but which car ii was not
known at that time. Deputy Marshal
Ghoate lost no time in notifying the
police at Waterville, Hallowell and
