N. Y. Police Believe
Coat Worn By Her
Belonged t o D o_ t
NEW YORK, March 2.——A woman
with blonde bobbed hair, who on-
swered the description of Brooklyn's
girl bandit. was arrested last night
after an alleged attempt to hold up
a \i’asliington Heights tailor shop in
Manhattan. Iicr male companion
escaped. but an expensive automo-
bilo in which they rode to the store
was seized by police.
Identification of the young wo-
man as the wife of Albert Guimures.
friend of Dorothy Keenan. who was
murdered about ii. year ago. was an-
nounced by the police today.
~Guimares is serving a three-year
sentence in federal prison at Atlanta
for using the mails to defraud. '
Expensivciy Dressed.
The alleged girl bandit wore an
expensive sable coat. similar to one
worn by the woman who has terror-
ized Brooklyn shopkeepers in the
past few months with her Danditry
actlcitics. and detectives compared
the coat with the description of one
stolen from the apartment of Dot
Keenan, the day she was murdered.
Leonard l’t. Hanover. attorney.
who appeared for Guimaircs in the
fraud ruse, was called by the wo-
man tonight. lie advised her not to
iiilk. and police had difficulty in 0b-
iaining any information concerning
cithcr tonight's attempted robbery
or the woman herself.
Denies Companion.
of Betty Santos. and an address on
Riverside drive. Detecthes could
find no one thcro who kncvw her.
She insisted she had entered the.
store incrriy to have her coat incud-
ed. but police said they could find no
indications of its needing repairs.
She denied she knew the mun who
entered the store with her and who
escaped after a tussle with Charles
Bernstein. the proprietor. leaving
his overcoat behind in the pocket oi
which a burglar's jimmy was found.
The shopkeepers story.
Bernstein told the police the wo-
man and man drove up in front of
his shop in an expensive automobile.
which later was found to be stolen.
He said the woman entered first and
inquired about coats. Becoming
suspicious. because he had read of
the activities of New York's girl
bandit. he said he went to telephone
for the police.
Mrs. Bernstein was left' in the
store alone and while she talked
with the woman she declared the
man picked up a bolt of expensive
cloth from the counter and started
to leave. She dcreamed. and her
husband re-cntercd the store. The
man ran and pulled himself loose
from his coat and got away, leaving
the automobile at the curb. Bern-
stein said the girl also tried to es-
ClipL‘.
who held her until the police ar-
rhcd.
.\li‘. Iiuiiowcr told police lhern-
man described as Mrs. Uulniurcs
was entirely innocent of the charges
against her and that he Wullid up-
pehr in court to usk for their dis-
missal.
Guimarcs was held for some time
as [L material witness in tho Keenan
case. but was discharged in the
Court of Special Sessions lust May.
Five months later he was indicted
with his brother, lienry. and six
others by a. federal grand Jury on
charges of using the mails to do-
traud through the operation of nine
brokerage offices in New York city.
Guimarcs and three others were
found guilty of fraud in December.

erai prison at Atlanta. for three
years. 0n the day the sentence was
imposed he admitted in open court

caused his death. '
A brief account of this interesting
event was given by Historian Rich-
srd ll. Fitch, and at its close the
sword was entrusted to the care of
the Tyler with impressive ceremony.
The history of the sword is: After
the death of Col. “'ilcoxson his wife
who had hurried to his bedside ask-

had captured/him for the return of
the cherished word.
The request from the widow met
with a prompt return of the weapon
and just prior to the celebration of
the Ccntennary of the lodge the
sword was returned to St. John‘s.
