Police Chief says Thelma Seaman Con¬ fessed Robbing Employer Because She Wanted to be ''A Good Sport'' so the Boys Would Like Her.
Miss Thelma Seaman, the 18-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Archie L. Seaman of Craig Manor, Baldwin, who had stolen jewelry from her em- player, George Fyfe, to present to young men acitualntances, T^rsday morning was sentenced by Police Justlr-e Flint to the Bedford Refor¬ matory and was takeh there yester¬ day afternoon,
Reali7.1ng that she was to be sent away yesterday, the girl Wednesday night apparently attempted to com¬ mit suicide. Offlcer Fadden, in whose care she was, had left her In Mrs. Fadden's charge. He reached his home at 2 o'clock Thursday morning. He thought he smelled carbolic acid in her room, through the partly .opened door. He found Miss Sea¬ man with a medicine dropper In her hand, "Medlilne for my eyes," she Bald. Fadden took the dropper, and
.the contents proved to be carbolic acid.
! Miss Seaman since last September [ had been employed a.^ a clerk in the F'yfe store, 32 West Merrick road. I Sbe confessed she bad been rob- ' bing her employed since last Nbvem- ' ber. She told of nearly a hundred 'articles taken from show cases, which I she had given to friends. More than I $200 worth of loot she had in her , home at Baldwin. Seventy-nine ar- ¦ tides, valued at $700, were recov- lered by Oflflcer Fedden. i In court yesterday when Miss Sea- |man was arraigned, as no individual article had an intrinsic value of more I than $50, no felony charge was made. i On a petit larceny charge of steal¬ ing a gold tie clasp, which she had : given to Lester Lush, she pleaded guilty and was sentenced.
She denied any knowledge of a burglary ot the store on August 22.
