Two Young Women and Their Plunder
Boston detectives recovered more than 3500 worth of bric-a-brac jewelry and silks linked to two young mulatto women, Mrs Susan Hemmenway and Mrs Ida Rolich, who worked as a maid and cook in Back Bay households. About 2500 worth belonged to Mrs Mattie Browne of Newbury Street. 1000 worth remained unidentifed and will be shown in Chief Inspector Watts's office. The pair, 23 and newly married, resisted questioning, and investigators traced them to a Harwich Street address after viewing Tremont Street sightings. The women were employed by Mrs Browne for a year and left two weeks prior. The case expands as police plan further inquiries into other families and the suspect's gold tooth detail.
