either by elevator or by stairway which leads
from the office.
This stairway is public. and any one could en-
ter the hotel and make his way unmolested up
the stairs to the wide corridors from which the
rooms open. Since her arrival at the hotel M:s.
Coogan has displayed some very beautiful dia-
monds, which have attracted considerable at
tention, and on Wednesday evening at the
Casino she wore brilliant diamond sunburst-
She returned to the hotel soon after 12 O'Clock.

not in the trunk, there she had placed them
the night before. She at first thought that the

This is n list OF the things stolen: Two Bracelets

other seven smaller diamonds; diamond PEN

pearls and several rings.
Mr.. Coogan said tonight that he had been
thirty years collecting the gems. Mrs. JOOgan

OF her room WAS locked during the day on which
