The New York Herald, New York, July 9, 1870

The woman who stole the pantaloons and secreted them under her shawl on Thursday last (P.M.) and was caught in the act, captured by the shawl and escaped minus the said garment, is informed that the shawl is at Baldwin’s, corner Canal Street and Broadway, where she outran the salesman and got away. We have no more use for the shawl than the woman had for the “breeches”.
