Detectives hunted yesterday for a stylish young woman who swindled a Fulton Street store out of sealskin fur valued at about 400 dollars. She posed as a customer, had furs sent to Miss M. A.

The man with the check and two detectives pursued, but she vanished via Hicks Street exit and a passing hansom cab. A hotel registration under Miss Morgan from Washington, D.C. raised further inquiry.
