Breckenridge was sincere in this remark

The Nice Young Man at T&rry-
town.

In a quiet and orderly manner young
Emile Voegtlin, son of VIM. Voegtlin,
the scenic artist, conducted himself at
the Jefferson market court at New York,
Thursday. The young lady, Miss Mel
lie Haight, to whom he was engaged,
was also present, and took great inter
est in the stylish young culprit. A
charge of burglary was made ont against
him by Mrs. Josephine Il. Valentine,
ONCE a guest of the Irving house. Dur
Ing the winter of 1928, Voegtlin lived
with his father and mother at the Irv-
Ing house. All through this period
jewellery and money were mysteriously
stolen. From the rooms Of Mrs. Valen-
tine a box of jewels containing a breast
PIN set with pearls and a gold locket was
taken. Young Voegtlin was suspected,
out there was no proof. The matter was
put into the hands of the detectives,
anu the ynung man WAS watched.
~ was discovered that be was in the
habit Of visiting Samuel G. Haight. at 30
west Twenty-third street, and was there
paving attentions to Miss Nellie Halghf,
anu was betrothed 70 her. Miss Halglt
Wore Q gold locket similar TO that stolen
from Mrs. Valentine. This was subse-
quently identified as the missing jewel.
Il had been made a present to Miss
iialght by Voegtlin. The young man
pleaded not guilty; he said he bought it
from an unknown man, but could give
no further explanation. Justice Smith
put him unCer ST. 900 bail Tor trial. Miss
iiaieht threw her arms around his neck
ana the scene which followed was very
affecting.
The pathetic story or a broken heart,
ana a mother made insane, came right
nenind this from the pretty town OF
i~arrytown, on the Hudson. Last suin
,,ler Young Voegtiin went to the we'll
