1580) Ellen Darrigan

Ellen Darrigan (1853 - ?). English-born New York shoplifter.
It is claimed that she got married three times: to Jerry Dunn, to John Mahaney and to Billy Darrigan, an old New York thief. She was considered a pretty woman until Billy broke her nose in 1875.
Ellen was arrested in New York City in 1875 for shoplifting and was sentenced to four years in State prison. She served terms in several other cities.
In 1885 she was arrested after leaving a dry goods store in NYC and the police found in her skirt a piece of beaded cloth, valued $50. Ellen was convicted and sentenced to five months.
