A WOMAN BURGLAR.
A WELL-PLAYED PART. United Press Association—Per Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received 1 a.m.. Februarv 6th. MELBOURNE, February 5. A fashionably-dressed woman named Kate Pcrter has been committed for trial on a charge of house-breaking, and on a second charge of stealing from a dwelling. The arrest was the outcome of numerous rob-bc-riss in the suburbs. In several instances when discovered on premises and surrounded by displayed drawers, she hastily collected valuables and innocently explained that she was under the impression that she was in the-house of a friend upon whom she was playing a practical joke in pretending to be a*burglar. She showed great distress, and profusely apologised on being informed of her mistake in supposing that she was in a friend's house, and was allowed to depart.
