Is This Our Mary Miniter?

Hi Howard
just came across this story of a young woman named Mary Miniter
in cahoots with an accessory being accused of stealing.
I automatically thought it was our girl, but it's in Newburgh,
quite far. There's a followup as Mary Miniter aged 42 died in
Newburgh in 1913. Probably the same woman.
Just wondering - the name, age and petty crime made it seem
likely. Our Miniter was born 1868-69, this one around 1871.

Pete:
Nice work, big guy...but it isn't her.
Nina looked this up just now:
From the New York State Marriage Index:
Mary Miniter, married to James McDermott, on November 3, 1891 in
Newburgh, New York.
Nina also found out that the Mary Miniter in this story was born
in Ireland.
Our Mary Miniter was a New York girl.
You probably recall that Mary was arrested in 1892 in Manhattan
and then again in 1894.
This link takes you to the 1892 arrest and conviction of our
Mary. Notice that the second article has her down as forty
years old.
Gee, a goof by the press? Who woulda thunk it? :D

Thanks for posting it Pete...you can never tell.
Here's a Blackwell's Island prisoner sheet from 1894 with our
gal on it.
