This was communicated TO Gene
We've who stated that she screwed the
diamond into the inside of the bosom
of tailor made frock coat, which she
wur, during her little bacchanalan re-.
sci. hut an examination of the coat
proved that the stud was gone. and
only the hole left in the garment. Yes
tprday morning the search for the valu
able was resumed by the officers with
the result stated above.
The only excuse that can be offered
ly the parties who caused the arrest
of Mrs. Olin on the serious charge is
that she was in company with Gene
we've when the diamond was missed,
and earlier in the day Gcnevieve had
visited the popular resort ut Granite
De- and in farewell time with
few of her intimate friends and as
sociatcs, had toyed 80 literally with
cheering spirits that she became in
toxicated with the picturesque scenery
Of the place which she was about to
leave for while, as il was known
that she had already planned an ex'
tended visit to that mecca of sports,
Fl Paso, Texas.
This fact became known to the Off
Ger, aud the owner of the fashy gem,
aud while suspicion was not directly
pointed towards Mrs. Olin being the
thief, it was thought that the jolly
Gcncvicve might have conceived the
idea of getting away with the jewel,
and had enlisted the assistance of her

lieying that the owner would rather
have remained silent than risk the
publicity of commencing criminal pro-
ccedings for its recovery. In this, II
she ever entertained such an idea, she
was very much mistaken
The recovery was the result OF a
search which was attended with more
energy than Is usually displayed by
our local peace officers. They exploited
this and every theory advanced, and
while the recovery of the stud is par
tally due to their efforts, the fact yet
remains that no clue was found that
could implicate the hostess of Granite
bclls in any way with the sudden and
mysterious disappearance OF the
jewel.
