Shop Lifting Not Common In Stores of Richmond Merchants This Holiday Season Have Not Yet Had to Report any Cases of this Nature to the Police.

Although the Christmas shopping season has been on in earnest for several days, local merchants have not reported to the police nor have they even suspicioned that a practice of shoplifting has been made by local citizens. In previous years the merchants have always been more or less troubled with such practices and tho culprits were largely women. However, as there are four more days of Christmas shopping, occasions may yet arise for the police being called in to investigate the theft of some valuable or valuables. In speaking about the matter a local merchant stated that while he could not state positively that any articles in his large apartment store had

been stolen in the last few days, neither could he say that nothing had not been stolen. "Situated as we are," declared the merchant, "without protection to our articles, it would be a very easy matter for some one to take a handkerchief or a small piece of Jewelry or the like. Furthermore. In crowds it is very hard to watch everyone, because of the lack of clerks to wait on all customers."' In several of the nearby cities, shoplifting has become so common that the merchants, in order to put a stop to it. have had prominent women placed under arrest. It is the usual custom among local merchants to speak to the shop lifter privately and by this means secure the articles.

Centerville, Ind.. Dec. lf. It is reported around town that Mrs. Carl

Bertsch has refused to take suste

nance since her arrest upon the charge of sending obscene matter through the

malls to the late EL M. Cheesman. a

former resident of Richmond, who died in Virginia. It is asserted that

Mrs. Bertsch has assumed an attitude

of remorse that is impenetrable and

that she feels so keenly her disgrace she will not partake of the meals that are prepared for her. The report is

unsubstantiated, but accepted by the

townspeople as a fact.

The topic has furnished a source of apparently never ending gossip for the villagers. Previous to the exposure of the affair by the Richmond newspapers, Mrs. Bertsch had been believ

ed to be a very reputable woman. She was prominent and her position as the wife of one of the town's leading business men. gave her favor. V. She and her husband reside in one of the most modern residences in Centerville,, and it was presumed their domestic relations were of the pleajiantest. That Mrs. Bertsch should be- Implicated In such an affair is regarded as highly surprising. It is expected that when the case comes to trial the woman will enter a plea of insanity as her excuse. It is

probable she will assert she is a monomaniac and her attachment for Cheesman led her to resort to the mails. Why she should write such obscenity is a question that will have to be explained to the court. It may be declared this will ' be but further proof of a derangement of her mind. It appears that before placing the letters written her husband during his life by Mrs. Bertsch, . In the hands of the. authorities, , Mrs. Cheesman showed some of them to a number of her. intimate friends here and at Richmond. It is alleged that some of the letters were signed "Eff le Cheesman." Mrs. Bertsch's name is Effie. Thousands of nice Xmas Goods at Morris & Co's.
