A CLEVER THIEF. Described as a clever thief and a dangeirous woman, Mrs Winifred Graham, aged thirty-seven, alias Newman, was sent to gaol to-day for three months on pleading guilty to thirteen charges of stealing goods from jewellers’ shops in the city. She had .been operating since last April, and the goods concerned, valued at £l4l, had been recovered from pawnshops. The Eolice said that she was so clever m er thefts that not one had been reported by the jewellers. The information to the police came from pawnbrokers. Her method was to enter a shop saying she wanted to buy a ring for a friend, and while the shopkeeper was in another part of the shop she would steal what_ she wanted.—Auckland Press Association telegram.
