The officers in Auburn. Placer county,

be inferred from the way Deputy SheI1H

the officer had in MS pocket written con-
fession that the prisoner made TO DetecINe

II Immediately left the city and went 10
San Francisco, where l got rid OF a good
portion of the stuff. Then | went on 10
Portland and sold the remainder.
The confession accounts for every piece
named in the list except the $lSo diamond
and Herman says he was so drunk In san
Francisco when he gave some or the Jew
elrv to a friend to sell that he probably
raised over the diamond without realizing
it. He SAYS he does not know where 1t
went. Some of the jewelry has been recoV-
cred by the Portland detectives and turned
over to the officer from Auburn.
