Charges Withdrawn Against Two Women

Shoplifting Cases Against Mrs. Helen Eyler and Mrs. Annie Ransley Are Dropped.

The charges of shoplifting brought last Monday evening against Mrs. Helen Eyler, 
Ridge avenue, this place, and Mrs. Annie Ransley, Philadelphia, following their 
apprehension by Chief of Police Jesse Crabbs, with several dresses and other 
wearing apparel in their possession, were withdrawn last evening before Justice 
of the Peace L. D. Sell, and the defendants were discharged.

The two women had been arrested in the J. W. Gitt department store and were 
charged with shoplifting in three warrants, sworn by Squire Sell on oath of L. 
D. Nutter, Manager of the J. C. Penney Company’s store, Irvin C. Kelley of the 
J. W. Gitt Company, and Chief of Police Crabbs, for the Topper Overbaugh 
Company.  The women, it was charged, had taken dresses valued at $74.25 from the 
Penney store, a dress valued at $18 from the Topper Overbaugh store and a 
child’s sweater and dress from the J. W. Gitt store.

Attorney George S. Love, York, appeared before Justice Sell in behalf of the 
defendants.
