On the charge of larceny from the person, Cad Johnson, a woman well known to the police, was arrested last evening by Patrolmen Chipman and Bannick. She is accused by Alexander Marsketes of stealing $67.90 from him. The man spent the greater part of yesterday afternoon in the woman's company. When he left her, he says the money and pin were gone. At the station a considerable sum of money and the pin were found on the woman's person. Both the accused and the accuser were locked up in the city jail.
