Jacob Aeschbach keeps o small store
at 81 Washington Street, Hoboken, and
repairs watches and jewelry. He is
forty -four years old, and in twenty years
he has had eighteen children born to him,
ten of whom are living. On Tuesday
two sharpers stole from his store a
valuable gold watch belonging to John
r. Ryszczyuski, and he felt keenly the
fact that people suspected him to be the
thief. For two days and nights his wife
cried over the misfortune.
He heard that two men had been
arrested in Newark while trying to rob q
jeweler, and he went there YESTERDAY,
accompanied by the Chief of Police of
Hoboken and Mr.. Ryszczyuski. He at
once identified thepIsoners as the men
who stole the watch. When he saw
them in the First Precinct police station
his eyes filed with tears, and in an ex-
cited and dramatic manner he told how
each acted in his store. One of them.
he said, left with him the inside frame
of a chain locket that he might fit a glass
intoit.
"Here is the Frame" he added, draw
ing it from his pocket. 1.-The man kept
the locket, but Isaw in it something red, .
and should know it if sawit again"
A locket which had been taken from
one of the prisoners, Charles Howard,
was shown to Aeschbach. Immediately
he cried and laughed by turns, and at
the same time exclaimed: 30, my God!
Thank heaven, I'm saved! Mr.. Chief,
that is the locket., See how this frame
will fitit." The locket was opened, and
it was found that the frame which the
hysterical jeweler produced belonged to
it. In the lockct was q piece OF red fam
mel. The sight of this drew tears from
Aeschbach's eyes again.
THAT is the red stuff 1 saw" hi
shouted. 20, for God sake. telegraph
to my wife that Pm safe and have found
the men who stole the watch. She has
been crying her life away. They said
stole the watch, but now, thank God,
my good name is come back to me und
my family"
The police officials said that in all their
experience they had never seen man SO
beside himself with joy as was Aesch-
bach. IN. y. sam.
