"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, February 3, 1910 SHE'S THE SWEET GIRL THIEF. The police detectives in Kansas City, Kas., are searching for a young woman about 20 years old, with pink cheeks and pretty blue eyes. She wore a stylish turban hat and a gray muffler yesterday afternoon when she knocked at the front door of the home of W. C. OTTS at 228 North Mill Street in that city. "Is Miss Lizzie EVANS in?" she asked Mrs. OTTS. Miss EVANS, with her father, William EVANS, and Miss Annie WILT, a friend, occupy apartments on the second floor of the house. "No, she's at the store," Mrs. OTTS replied. "Oh, well, I'll just run up to her room," the young woman said cheerily as she entered the hall and ran up the stairway. While going through the apartments she pushed open the door of the room in which Mr. EVANS lay sleeping. The noise awakened him. "Is Lizzie at home, Mr. EVANS?" she asked sweetly. "No, she is down at the store," Mr. EVANS replied. Then the uninvited visitor asked for Mrs. EVANS, who is dead. But she was not disturbed in the least when the fact was explained to her. "Oh, I forgot. I will just run down and see Lizzie then." And the girl departed. Miss Lizzie EVANS and Miss Annie WILT, when they went home last night from their places of employment, were told of the visit of the young woman. "I can't think who she may be," Miss EVANS said. Half an hour later Miss EVANS couldn't find one of her best shirt waists. Then she discovered some of her skirts were missing from their accustomed place and that her supply of face powder, perfumes and other articles had disappeared. Miss EVANS told the police. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10
