A HEEL AND GLOVES

BETRAYED THEIR WEARERS. New York, May 4. A black French heel and a pair of gloves have broken up two homes, sent a .New York mother to a prison cell, and robbed a Cincinnati wife of her husband. The heel was found by detectives investigating a jewel theft. They discovered that a heavily built woman had tripped and fallen on the verandah where the heel was found, and that children in the neighbourhood had helped her to get up. She had hurried away. Every shoe repairer in z the district received a visit from detectives. One said a little girl had brought in a shoe minus a French heel. The house was traced. . . . and Mrs Camille Trepani, 36, mother of eight children, was arrested for the eleventh time in her life and sent to prison. The case of the Cincinnati gloves was also the result of a piece of detective work .... this time by a wife, Mrs Elsie Bobe. Mrs Bobe was pressing her husband’s suit when she found a pair of women’s gloves in a pocket. The husband demanded them. She would not give them up. So, said Mrs Bobe, petitioning for a divorce, he gave her a good shaking, packed his bag, and walked out. She and her children have not seen him since.
