GOBLET JEWELS FOUND,
IN OWNER'S TOWN SAFE.
She Had Taken the Case, but Not
Al of Gems, to NewpOrt.

The gems worth S20OONO that have been edver-
tised as missing" from Newport are the prop
erty Of Mrs Ogden Goelet. They were discov-
cred yesterday tucked away in Mrs. Goelet's
town safe, where they had been for some time.
This was the substance of a typewritter state
ment given out At the headquarters OF the
Pinkerton Detective Agency last evening. and
marks the auti-clirnax Of what promised TO be
in several respects one Of the greatest jewel
mysteries of modern times. Dark rumors of a
resourcefuI ''Raff1es.'' stories Of one of those
plausibly ingenious men on the market whis-
pers OF visitors unscrupulous as impecunious'
despite their titles Of honored guests under
surveillance, and black sheep even in the New
port fold not TO mention tales Of sneak thieves,
dishonest walters, suspicious trainmen and du-
bious deckhands-the entire array and ingen-
ious fabric apparently dissolved at the touch Of
the brief Pinkerton memorandum,

superintendent James s. Dougherty at $50 p.

on Monday and to-day, on opening her SAFE iouhG
the Jewels where she had placed them
we never believed that the Jewels had been
stolen" said Superintendent Dougherty. This
explains why ir our circular we asked for no
information about their present possessor- The
fact that equally valuable jewels remained In
the case went TO disprove the robbery theory
Attention was called to the fact that. although
the jewels missing on June u. their loss
was not reported until late in July.
'As soon as the absence of the jewels re-
rorted" said Superintendent Dougherty, I'VE
sent John w. Rogers down to look over the
ground Later went down myself We urged
Mrs. Goe!et TO take a look I'm her safe here, and
"a day or two ago she consented. and the jewels
were found That is the whole story"
