by a Chamber-Maid in the New-York Hotel. $8,000 Worth of Money and Jewelry Stolen from George Rignold, Joaquin Miller and Other Guests.” New York Times (14 June 1877): 5. [NYT online]
“The woman who robbed Mr. Rignold also plundered the apartments of two families on the same floor of jewelry and money aggregating several thousand dollars. On Monday last, Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, visited Police Headquarters with one of the ladies whose jewelry was stolen, and told the story of the robbery. The Police, to keep the matter secret, told the reporters that his visit was simply one of curiosity, and to keep up the delusion, Sergt. Kiely escorted Joaquin and his lady friend through the building, showing them all the objects of interest. No trace of the clever thief has yet been found by detectives.”

The robbery took place at a New-York Hotel owned by Mr. Hiram Cranston.
