Employed by Young Man to Scare
His Wealthy Parents Into Civ
ing Up More Money.
New York, May 31.-Offers of re-
ward of $4,000 are published here
for the return of a packet of letters
vate safe in the home of a wealthy
and socially prominent family, whose
name probably will never be men
toned in connection with the affair
unless a scandal should arise from
an exposure of the letters contents.
Incidentally, it is hoped to recover
100000 worth of jewels and many
thousands of dollars worth of stock
certificates which were stolen at the
same time as the letters. A skeleton
in the form of a family scandal hill
den for fifteen years by the head of
the household is said to have formed
the basis of the act
The detectives at work on the case
say they confidently believe a son of
the household is the thief. He is on

known in the younger set. His mo-
tive is believed to be the necessity
of maintaining the appearance of ma

gagement to a wealthy young society
woman. His family is opposed to the
match and his allowance has neen

defeat of the Russians. They were

question as to whether the cleo

was argued by Ex-Governor Frank

were assisted by legal lights.

Hearst's request to open the bal
lot boxes and recount the votes
cast in the recent New York may

result in Mcclellan being declared
N ayor Of New York.
