He Came Here During the Inaugu-
ration and CIerked at WilIard',.

Ochiltree and Mr.. Lydic-A WOmaa
in the Cuse-Comes Here Today.

1t is believed that the arrest Of Charles
j. Roberts in Boston yesterday VIII solve
several Of the recent big hotel diamond
robberics in this city.
Roberts was arrested on a telegram from
Detective James a McDevitt, of this city,
on the specific charge OF stealing large
quantity Of jcwelry and other articles from
Col Tom Ochiltree at the Hotel Chamber
lin, and Philip NJ Lydic, a wealthy New
Yorker, who was stopping at the Shore
ham.
Roberts is said To have been employed as
an extra clerk at Wizards Hotel during
the Inauguration rush, on his statement
that he was acquainted with a large
number OF statesmen and other prominent
persons
Willie he was there the room of n guest
was entered one night and 500 stolen. 1t
is low believed the temporary clerk was
the thief, although no suspicion was direct
ed toward him at the time.
While n clerk at Wizards he wrote
letter to Col OChiltree at Chamberhns,
requesting that he be employed as the
coioncl's valet. He accepted Roberts ser
vices, but insisted that he bring recon-
meudations from his former employers,
which he promised to do the next day.
On the strength of his emplo yment by
the famous Texan, the young man man
aged to double up" and also secured the
place as valet for Mr.. Lydic at the Shore
ham.
On last Friday, it i S said, Roberts stole
from Mr.. Lydic's room horseshoe dia-
mond breastpin, valued at 500, and a
railroad ticket to New York.
Then he proceeded to sack Col OchiI-
trees room, getting away with large
number Of shirt studs, one complete set
of garnet studs, cuff and collar buttons
gold shirt studs. turquoise shirt studs aud
cuff buttons, black pearl scarf pin,
plain pearl pin, two sets of gold shirt
studs one gold scarf pin, one gold
scarf pin with diamond and ruby settings,
a fine English travelling knife, a dozen fine
handkerchiefs. and many smaller articles
Although these big robberies occurred
Friday night, they were not discovered
until Sunday morning, when the services
of Detective McDevitt were called into re-
QUESTION, and he at once set about tracing
ton and New York. and yesterday the fol-
lowing replies were received from the
former city:
I'VE have arrested Roberts. Part of
property recovered. He will return with
out requisitiou. WILLIAM B. WATTS
Chief Inspector
Then the United States marshal tele-
graphed to Detective McDevitt:-
''Have Roberts in my custody. Will de-
liver him in Washington
Roberts, while here, had room in
G street house, with a woman from Gin
cinnati, believed to be clever crook
1t is possible, working together that
they did the big diamond jobs at the
Colonial Hotel, formerly Woruley's, cor
ner Fifteenth and II streets, and at the
Arlington The woman left here two DAYS
before Roberts, and it is supposed she re-
turned to Cincinnati.
Roberts is good looking, twenty-siX years
of age, Smooth-faced, natty dresser and
quick talker. He Will probably reach here
