woman last Monday on a brooch. Upon
examination he found it to be identical
with the first article named in printed
circular he had received describing the
jewelry stolen from Lowenthal. He noti-
fled the police, and two detectives went to
the address the woman had given to the
pawnbroker. She and Woods were found
there and arrested.
The robbery occurred Nov. H. when
Lowenthal stopped at a hotel in Port
land for the night, He left his sample
cases in his room and went to supper,
When he returned they had been broken
open and 223 diamond brooches, 90 scarf
pins and large number of diamond rings
were missing.

a brilliant outcome. To this there is to
be added the widespread interest now
manifested in the Exposition in Can

from there would seem to be a bright
outlook ahead for a successful outcome
