UNDER SERIOUS CHARGE.
Woman Accused Of Having Stolen Dia-
monds in Her Possession.

stylishly dressed young woman, who
gave her name as Jeanette Keyas, was
arrested in this city this afternoon by De-
tectives Weldon and Tyser and taken to
police headquarters, where she was inter-
viewed by Capt. Boardman. 1t is stated
she was detected in an endeavor to dis
pose Of four diamond rings worth about
$500. The rings, it is alleged, belong to
the proprietor of a jewelry store in Phila-
delphia.
The prisoner admits, it is alleged that
she got the rings from the clerk in the
store and left the Quaker city with them.
She also admits she had male compan-
ion. The rings were ordered sent to a
hotel on approval to be shown to her sick
mother. The woman in custody says she
received the rings and left the clerk seated
In the parlOr. Instead of showing them to
her mother she said she disappeared and
came here to dispose Of them. She claims
she was born in France.
The arrest was made following the re-
ceipt of descriptive circular received from
Pinkerton's detective agency. The Pinker-
ton detectives and Philadelphia authorities
will be notified of her arrest. A young
man who had been with the woman in this
city was arrested later in the afternoon,
but the woman declares he had nothing to
do with the diamond transaction.
