Mrs. Carter, whose real name is
Rose Hall, and George Carter are in
carcerated in the county jail, charged
with grand larceny. In other words
the two are accused of having stolen
diamond rings belonging to Attorney
S. D. Crump's wife, and valued at be-
tween 5000 and 500.
City Marshal Hudgens and Deputy
Sheriff Norman made the arrests
yesterday morning, the complaint
having been sworn to by S. D.
Crump The two officers spent some
time working on the case and after
making a thorough search failed to
locate the missing rings.
The case is a very peculiar one
and has baffled the officers. While
the couple are in Jail charged with
the offense, there is no evidence to
connect them with the alleged crime
further than the fact that they were
in the bathroom in which Mrs. Crumr
had left the rings, Immediately after
her.
Mrs Crump and her little daugh-
ter only recently arrived from Den
yer to make their home in this city
where Attorney Crump has been
practicing law for some time. They
have taken up apartments at the
Richmar and last night between 10
and II o'clock Mrs. Crump gave her
daughter a bath. There is bath
room in the Richmar that is used by
the guests of the house. While bath
ing her daughter, Mrs. Crump's rings
scratched the child, SO she removed
them and hung the jewelry on a nail
near the door. Unfortunately, she
forgot about removing the rings un-
til some time after.
1t seems that Rose Hall was the
next person to use the bath, and af-
ter she, Carter occupied the room
Mrs. Marks of the Richmar was the
last to use the room and she locked
the door. Shortly after she had re-
tired Mrs. Crump missed her rings
and recalled having left them in the
bathroom She went to the bath
room, and finding the door locked
decided that the jeWelry was safe
Yesterday morning when she looked
for the diamonds, she found they had
disappeared.
The matter was reported to Mrs
anu II was lcdl nCu thoe thS
defendants were the next to occupy
the room after Mrs. Crump. The two
officers were summoned and they
proceeded with an investigation. Mrs
Marks searched the woman and Dep
uty Sheriff Norman the man, but nc
trace of the jewelry was found. Theil
apartments were also thoroughly
searched, the results throwing nc
light ON the affair
Attorney Crump sWore to a COM
plant charging Rose Hall and George
Carter with grand larceny and the
two officers placed them under ar
rest and took them to jail. Both de-
ny having known anything about the
jewelry.
''The prisoners are considerably
worried over the position they have
been placed in said City Marsha
Hudgens to a News reporter. 1.-THE
bathroom is public place as far as
the house is concerned and it is ar
gued that anyone might have stepped
into the room and taken the rings
Carter seems to have borne a goot
reputation while in Ely and has
number of friends here. He at frs
stated Rose Hall was his wife, bu
this morning admitted that she wa!
not. me matter will be sifted ou
before Justice Cartwright.
