New York, Nov. 25. - Mary Mitchell, a young Englishwoman with half a dozen aliases, has been arrested on a charge of robbing John H. Davis, banker, of $2,500 worth of jewelry the day after she entered into his employ as a governess. She is 27 years of age, very ladylike and speaks half a dozen modern languages. She claims that her brother is one of the wealthiest of English copper masters, and that she herself is worth many thousand pounds which she is unable to get possession of.
