Love for finery puts girl in cell
Mary Roseman seventeen years old faced larceny charges for stealing lingerie valued at 37 dollars. She appeared at Tombs Police Court in a white Parisian gown and plume hat, sought a jury trial, and was held on $1,000 bail. Her father Isaac Roseman, a Third Avenue merchant dealing in women's finery, said she has an uncontrollable passion for clothing and may be in need of reform.
