THREE ACCUSED OF
SWINDLING AGED WOMAN

One OF the most sordid swindle
cases that the local police have yet
Investigated, came to light, Sunday,
with the arrest OF Mrs. Emily Fields,
rooming housekeeper at No. So Grand
Riyer.ave. east; Thomas Jones, Are
man, OF No. 80 ElizaDeth-st. east, and
Miss Freda Heise, 2l-years-old step
daughter Of Jones, on the charge OF
swindling Mrs. Ida Mussman, 40 years
old, out OF sl25.
The money represented the life saw
ings OF the aged woman, who was
forced to become charity charge OF
the Salvation army, after losing the
little hoard, which she had earned by
scrubbing, cleaning, and other hard
work.
Detectives Mite and Hayes, who
made the arrests of the trio, declare
that Miss Heise first told the story OF
the swindle, and that Mrs. Fields has
confe ssed to her part In II. They are
all held on the charge OF grand lar.
ceny.
Mrs. Mussman had purchased the
roCming house at No. SO Elizabeth-st.
east from Mrs. Fields, Jones acting as
the agent. She was to pay $3.50 for
H. Sne pdlu tue SlSos uh hhO hShSy
she had, and was 10 pay $26 more,
later on.
She had inspected the rooming
house, which was well furnished and
a bargain at the price. But when she
took possession. most of the furniture
had disappeared. Then Jones, II is
alleged. informed Mrs. Mussman that
a mistake had been made; that the
price should have been $3.50, and de
manded the contract, which was Mrs.
Mussman's receipt
Mrs. Fields is said to have confess
ed TO the police that she and Jones
bnrned up the contract. and elected
Mrs. Mussman from the house, the
aged woman going TO the Salvation
army, where her story caused the Do
lice investigation.
II was in Mrs. Fields rooming house
that two Italian girls were arrested.
