SArs WOMEN INDUCED HIM.
Then They Bought His Plunder From
film at a Small Price—Some of the
Progeny Found In the Apart-
ments of One of the ,Women.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—-A case of youth-
ful~ depravity seldom brought to light
even in this great metropolis came out, in
Jefferson Market court today.
on a charge of stealing furniture from the
sidewalk in front of the store of McClain,
Simpson 87. Co.
Jacob confessed and declared that he
had been taught to steal by Martha Miles,
a. young colored woman, and his confes-
sion also implicated four other colored wo-
men. The five women were arrested and
arraigned in court with the boy thief.
During the last month the firm has
for display. Expensive rocking chairs,
upholstered easy chairs, willow chairs,
foot rests and numerous other things have
strangely disappeared.
One of the clerks was detailed to watch
for the thief, but he failed to apprehend
any one, a] hough the thefts continued. to
occur at reg ular intervals.
A week ago the firm reported the mat-
ter to the West Thirty-seventh Street sta-
tion, and Detectives Ward and Walsh were
detailed on the case. Last Saturday they
made inquiries in the neighborhood of the
store and found a Mrs. McCarthy, who
said‘ she had seen a small boy, wearing
gray knee pants, a double breasted coat of
dark blue material and 'a military cap, fre-
quently pass through Thirty-seventh street
with a chair twice the size of himself on
his shoulder. She said the boy’s route
was always toward Ninth avenue.
Alleged Female Engine.
She also said the boy was about 10 years
old, with large gray eyes, long jawbones,
pointed cliin and light hair.
The detectives searched the neighbor-
hood for some youth answering that de-
scription, but, failing, stationed them-
selves in front Of the store last night.
Shortly before 8 o’clock they saw a boy
moving about the display and acting sus-
piciously. They approached the little fel-
low and found that he answered in every
detail the description given by Mr. Mc-
Carthy. They took him to the station,
where they accused him of the thefts. He
at first denied the charge, but finally broke
down and confessed.
He said that he had stolen a large num-
ber of articles from McClain, Simpson &
Co. during the last month and had sold
them to women residing. in the neighbor-
hood.’
Asked what prompted him to steal, the
youthful prisoner replied that Martha
Miles, a young colored woman, told him
that he could make plenty of money with-
out any danger of detection by carrying
011' things from a display on the sidewalk
and bringing them to her to sell.
He told the detectives that besides Martha
Miles he had sold the stolen property to
' Alice Cobb, Maggie Folks, Martha Booker
and Wilhelmina Hendricks, all .colored.
He said he had received only $7 all told.
The Women Arrested.
Detectives were sent out to arrest the
women implicated by young Poore, and
they were also arraigned today on a charge
of receiving stolen goods. ,
On searching the Miles woman’s apart-
ments last night the detectives say they
found one of the chairs that had been stol-
en. The Cobb and Booker women lived
with Mrs. Miles, and the boy said they
sometimes received the stolen property.
He gave the names of several other colored
women to whom, he said, he sold property
stolen from McClain, Simpson& 00., but
their names were kept secret and will not
be given out until after their arrest.
Young Poore is suspected of having been
the head of a gang of boys who have been
preying for months upon the sidewalk dis-
plays of Tenderloin merchants. He is a
sly thief and exceedingly audacious for
one of his age. " .
In J une, 1895, he was arrested with two
confederates for attempting to rob ' the
house 264 West Forty-eighth street. They
were caught in the house and held for the
police. \
Nothing was found in young Poore’s
possession, and he was discharged by Mag-
istrate Deuel.
