Miss Florence Urias, a student in Cumnock's School of Oratory, was arrested Monday while she was in the act of stealing a purse from a lcoker in Fisk Hall. The purse had been placed there by the officer as a bait to the person who has been pilfering the lockers of the university buildings since the opening of the college year.
Many articles which Miss Urias admitted were stolen were found in her room after her arrest. She is being held by the Evanston police pending an investigation of her past life. She formerly lived in Omaha, awhere it is reported she has had a police record. The city will not prosecute the young woman unless some of the victims of her thefts wish to do so.
William H. Patrick, a prominent attorney of Omaha, has communicated with the police department offering aid to the girl. He says that the girl's foster father, Maurice L. yost, is in very poor financial circumstances, and having a large family besides, will be able to give her very little financial aidd. Miss Urias says she stole so that she could dress as other girls of her culture and education do.- Featured Link
