THE GOULD JEWELRY.
Message From Paris Deepens the
Mystery.

New York, July 1.-THE mystery sur
rounding the theft of jewelry worth
more than $1,000 from Mrs. Edwin
Gould during her stay at the Carlton
hotel in London has been deepened by a
cabled statement of Mr.. Gould that
most of the gems found on Charles W.
Blair, who is under arrest here for the
London robbery, had been left in jew
Ell case which was locked in a drawer
in the Gould residence at No. 100 Fifth
avenue when the family went to Eur
ope. Unless Mr. Gould is mistaken, and
it is thought he would surely know if a
jewel case had been left behind, a rob-
berry has been committed in the Goulds'
home.
Mr.. Gould. it was learned today, ca
bled from Paris last Thursday to his
secretary, Mr. Eberling, asking him to
go up to the Fifth avenue house and
try to find out what had become of a
case of jewels locked in Mrs Gould's
dressing table. Mr.. Eberliug, with the
housekeeper, Mrs. Miller who has been
employed in the family for many years,
hunted all over the house, but could
find no trace of the jewel case.
Mrs Miller declares that nothing has
been stolen from the house during Mr..
and Mrs. Gould's absence. She said that
an hour after they had gone to the
steamer she went into every room to see
that no valuables had been left lying
about. She found only a few trinkets,
she said, including a set of diamond
baby pins. which she sent down to Mr..
5 ONCE
Mrs. Miller said that Blair was known
to none of the servants in the house
Blair, who says he is a valet was ar
rested on June 90 by Detectives Cronin,
Hennessey and Butler of Captain Nc
Cluskey's staff He had been spending
money freely in COney Island, buying
champagne nightly for actresses in the
concert halls, and 1t was this that
brought him under police observation
On the night of the Sharkey-Ruhlin
fight Blair and a blond woman tried to
gain admission to the sporting club, and
the man subsequently tried to sell jew
elry to visiting sportsmen. He was
Swallowed by detectives, and in his room
in the Bowery was found a box contain
ing quantity of Mrs. Gould's Jewels.
Blair told the police that he had only
recently returned from Europe, and as
some of the jewelry answered the de-
scriptfon of that stolen from the Carl
ton hotel in London, that robbery was
aScribed to the prisoner
Now, in view of Mr.. Gould's statement
that the gems were taken from the
Gould house in New York, it is believed
that Blair may have committed a dou-
BILE robbery.

HORSES NOT THERE.
Why the Fire Department Was Slow
to Respond.

At 2:30 o'clock this morning the fire
men at station No. 2 were awakened by
an alarm. AS usual they pulled on their
night costumes and slid down the poles
to the first floor to find their horses
gone
It looked as if the horses were rather
anxious to respond to the alarm, and
had gone off without the f1remen. but
the hose wagon and chemical engine
were still in the station. To come
down stairs in the dead of night and
find that the live stock had vanished
was something unusual. On account of
two horses being laid up with injuries
two green horses have been put in
service. When the alarm came in and
the mechanism turned the horses lose
of the green horses left his stall, but
instead of stopping behind the ropes
and under the harness he kept right on,
taking the rope with him. Out he
went and two others followed him.
The old horses seemed to think that II
new horse could respond to an alarm
alone they could do as well. The fire
was al Thirteenth and Western ave
nueS. The horses went west on Sew
enth street to Jackson and turned
south. One of the firemen chased them
on a bicycle and at Tenth avenue
headed them off and drove them back
to the station Then the companies re-
sponded to the alarm.
The fire was in the story and half
frame barn owned by E W. Hughes
incendiary origin The hose company
from station No. put out the fire with
one stream Of water. The loss amount
ed to about 500
