Magistrate Barlow in the Jefferson Market police
court yesterday by Detective Sergeants James Va

charge Of suspicion of grand larceny and was held
in 5000 bail to await a hearing tomorrow. The
detectives told the magistrate that Spellman was
wanted in London charge Of stealing diamonds
and pearls valued az s5O0O0 from a French jewelry
salesman in London in March. 1905.
The New York police have communicated with
the British consul with a view to ascertaning IF
the Crown wishes to extradte the prisoner Police
Headquarters in this city attaches to this arrest

be suspected OF many big robberies in the United
Kingdom

records are known 20 the detectives. On Tuesday
night Detectives Valley and Collins william
Stowe. OF No 2aS Lexington avenue. at oath street

Stowe The identity Of the latter not positively
known at that time but Valley said aftervard he
had seen the mans picture. Stowe was discharged,
as there was no evidence against him.
Yesterday morning Sergeant Sheridan. at Police

photograph had been appended to circular sent

other man. TO this country after the big
robbery Spellman's connection with the affair is
veled so far as the police story goes. He is said
TO have been seen, with another man. leaving
house in Liverpool by means OF rear door when
the police went into the house and arrested Samuel
Loc5ett who was convicted. Why these two men
were not arrested at that time has not been ex-
planned by the police. The story goes that Spell

a reward of 5O00 was offered for his arrest Less
than month later Spellman and his party came to

Spellman is a member Of a wealthy family in this
