worth of tewelry and many thousands
of dollars worth of stock certificates
which were stolen at the same time as
the letters The letters which carry
information of family skeleton hid
den for fifteen years from the head of
the household, are said to have formed
the basis of theft. The detectives at
work on the case say they confidently
believe that the son of the household
is the thief. He is only about 23
years old and we'll known In the
younger set. His motive is believed
to be the necessity of maintaining the
appearance of having large income
during his engagement to a wealthy
young society woman. His family op-
pose the match and have limited his
allowance.
