Pretty Girls Jailed

Both girls were arrested by Special Officer Forry, who watched their operations for some time and caught them as they tried to leave the store with the goods. They were accompanied by a third girl who escaped.
The police say they are novices and were merely trying to get a few Christmas presents. Their cases were continued until tomorrow.
