road, were in Mount Holly, Saturday
evening, and when they went home they
left a package of goods in the carriage
together with Mrs. Jones' pocketbook

carriage the package and pocketbool
had disappeared. Detective Parker
was called and he found hat under the
carriage. He at once began to look for Q
hatless man and finally found him in

the pocketbook. He gave the name O
Kelly and said he hailed from Trenton
He was locked up.
