Woman Is Held for Trial After | Child Tells About \ Many Thefts, | ‘A half-starved, sunken-cheeked girl of nine years in a solled, sleeveless pinafore olimbed on a chair in the Lee Avenue ) Court to-day, focused her dark-ringel © eyes on @ middle-aged woman within the “ ailing, pointed a scrawny broomstick arm full in her face and cried in a + ehrill, grating voice: \ bony arms “She taught me to steal, She showed me how to slip these long, throngh a basement grating, pall the lock back and enter as many as fifty houses, I stole, yes, I stole every day, and stole lots of nice things. most of them and sold them, She's to blame.” No such denumctatiion had ever before een heard In a Brooklyn court. The woman winced and cowered in her * chair for a moment, and then shouted * Joud enough for the throng inside to hear: “You're a dirty little lar, and you know it.” Police Restore Order. It was several minutes before the mutterings among the crowd ended. Several policemen pe part In .restor- ing order, The enticiated appearance of the child whom the police charge with being the most remarkable crim- inal of her years ever apprehended, her shifty wild eyes and her dramatic and terrible charge against an alleged wom- an Fagin, instantly changed the In- dignation of the many victims of Annie Wilson's skill to pity for the child and resentment against the woman, Mrs. Julia Campbell, of No. 340 Flushing avenue, with whom the juvenile thief! lived. When order was restored the child ‘was returned to the custody of Agent Herman Myers, of the Children’s So- clety shelter, and Mrs. Campbell was held for trial on a specific complaint | lodged by Mrs, W. J. Calhoun, of No. 208 Washington avenue, charging grand) larceny. The oldest court attendant gasped in| amazement as the miserable looking child was led through the gates. She tripped along merrily, even skipping, as she advanced/ into the court. Her face had the hardened, brazen look of years of sin and dissipation—an aston- ishing appearance for a child of her tender years. Gazed Boldly About Her. She gazed boldly about her, peered coldly into the face of her alleged | tutor and then fixed her soulless eyes | waveringly on the Magistrate. bhe did not smile. Her predicament under the curious glances of a throng who fol- | lowed her for blocks into the court- | room aid not concern her in the least. Her conduct was that of the mature and habitual criminal, Over her clay-colored hair rolled con- fusediy into two thin twists was a worn white straw hat with five soiled white poppies on the crown. Her arms were bare almost to the shoulders, revealing an arm hardly two inches In diameter and the secret of the child's ability to gain entrance to houses. Her dress ‘ dropped just below the knees, Her stockings, once white, covered a fright- tullf thin pair of legs. No destitute and homeless child of the st has ever offered a picture more pathetic than this elghty-pound child charged with crimes of which a skilled and sctentife furglar might boast, By her side was the go-cart which , the child daily trundled from Mra. Campbell's home. It was under the seat aia this cart that the detectives yeater- } day found a gold watch and chain, two | hate, a child's coat and a gold chain | and Jocket when Mrs, Marry Walden, ot No, 2 Hewes street, seized the gir! and screamed; | “Arrest this ohild. She's a thief.
