THEFT MAY BARE
FAMILY SKELETON
Stolen Letters Said to Contain
Elements of Great Scandal
for Gotham.
New York Sun Special Service.


New York, May 31.-For the return
of packet Of letters, the publication
of which would disrupt a New York
family Of wealth and social prominence
and would involve other families OF
equal standing in a scandal, reward
Of $4,000 is offered by a detective bu-
reau on behalf Of the wife and daugh-
tiers from whom the letters were stolen.
1t is believed by the detectives that
Incidentally it is hoped to recover
100000 worth Of jewels and many thou
sands of dollars worth Of stock certifi-
Gates which were stolen at the same
time as the letters, but in comparison
with the letters, the loss Of the jewel
ry is considered insignificant.
Every effort has been made to keep
the theft secret. Not half a dozen
persons have been aware that some
time between March 81 and a few
days ago an old-fashioned mahogany
treasure box was stolen from a safe
where for many years it has held the
most valuable Of the possessions of the
women members of a prominent family.
Not even the head of the family knows
of it's loss. He, in fact, is the last per
son on earth whom it is desired to take
into the secret, and the necessity of
keeping him in ignorance Of the facts
has been the greatest handicap to the
detectives. go g.
| Samuel Sheldon, head of the detec-
tive bureau and formerly a detective
sergeant at police headquarters, and his
partner, Charles Tannenbaum, say CON
fdently that the son Of the household
is the thief for whom they are seek
ing. He is only about % years old
graduate of one Of the leading uni
versities and well-known figure at the
social functions of the younger set,
His motive for the theft is believed
to be the necessity. of maintaining the
appearance of having a large income
during his engagement to a wealthy
young woman in society. His own fam
ilv is, opposed to the match and has
limited his allowance; hence his desire
to be able to have more money thar
otherwise would be available in order
to keep up his florists and tailors' &C
counts. -.
