THIEVES make
A RICH HAUL
FRANK A. UBEL'S STORE IN ST
PAUL IS THE SCENE OF THE
OPERATION.
The THIEVES Secure $1,000 Worth Of
Diamonds while the Proprietor
and Clerks are Present. Three
were in the Deal.

st. Paul, Oct. 7.-With scores OF
people passing outside and in full
view of several store attendants,
three smooth come-on artists, one Of
whom was woman, deftly appropri-
ated in the neighborhood of $1,000
worth of loose diamonds at the jew,
elry store of Frank A. libel, 478 Wa
basha street about $3.50 Saturday ev-
ening and made good their escape.
The robbery was one Of the most dar-
ing that has been pulled off in the
city recently in that the three came
into the store, looked over tray Of
lockets and diamonds and securing
several loose stones while the clerks
back was turned, walked noncha,
nantly out of the door. They were
lost in the crowd before the proprie,
tor could get to the street after dis,
covering the robbery.
The three entered the store shortly
before $3.50 O'Clock. Mr.. libel was in
the rear part of the store. The clerk
was requested to show tray of lock-
cts, and the conversation of the trio
was such as to imply that one of the
men was purchasing present for tho
woman. After examining carefully
several lookets one of the men said
he desired to purchase diamond to-
be set in the locket. The clerk got a
tray of loose stones from the safe
and placed them upon the counter di1
rectly in front of the woman. Just
at this point the man of Jewish ap-
pearance walked to front of the
counter and requested another clerk
who was standing close by to show
him several sets of diamond earrings.
While he was looking at these the,
woman requested the clerk to call
Mr.. libel in order to ask him some
questions about the various stones,
which were lying loose on tissue pa
per. The clerk then stepped to libel
who came up to wait upon the GUS
toners.
After few minutes conversation
during which the woman and man
chatted with the utmost composure,
the woman expressed desire to visit
ted somewhat before leaving, but
stated that they undoubtedly would
be back within short time, or ct
least before the evening was over.
Immediately after the throe had de-
parted MIR. libel started to put The
tray back into the safe and noticed
that some of the stones were missing.
He rushed post haste to the front Of
the store, asking which way the trio
had gone. BY the time he arrived at
the sidewalk the three either had
separated and gone different ways, or
else had darted into some nearby
doorway for moment.

Says Woman Who Is Suing Him for
Divorce First Tried to Get Money
from Him on Threats of Breach

New York, Oct. 5-United States
Senator Plat made formal denial Fri.
day that he ever married Mae c.
Wood, who is suing him for divorce,
alleging that she was married to the
senator November 9, 1901. The sena.
tor made this denial in an application
IN court by his attorneys asking for
authority to examine certain papers in
the case. The senator, in his petition.
asserted that she had never made a
claim to him Of such a marriage until
December "a, 1906, but on the con.
trary, had tried to extort money from
him. More than three years after the
date on which she asserts she was
married to him, the senator averred,
breach of promise and retained the
law firm of O'Flaherty and Fulton Of
Richmond, Va, to act for her. !
Alleges Extorton Scheme.
The senator submitted copy OF q
letter from that firm written to him
in January, 1905, in which they an.
nounced that Miss Mae c. Wood had
employed them to prosecute her claim
for damages for breach of promise
and for an alleged conspiracy culmi-
mating in New York in 1908 by which
she asserted she was fraudulently
compelled by agents of the senator
to surrender certain letters written
to her by him.
Senator Plat said that he ignored
this letter but that his attorney sub
Sequently received other letters from
D'Flaherty and Fulton threatening to
take the case into court unless it was
settled. When he declined to enter
into negotiations with them the sen.
afor said, they discontinued their
attempts at exfortle2 Y9tI1 just prior

! Suits to Gain Notoriety:
y In the fan Of 1895, ting senator A.:
serted, Mae G: We6d brought two
suits against him in Omaha in which
the allegations We're absolutely incon.
sistent with her present claim of mar
,Iage. These suits, he said, were
brought to gain notorlety and to ex-
tort money from him. Both suits were
dismissed without prosecution.
The senator alluded to publications
of what purported to be a marriage
certificate which, he said, had been
mutilated by cutting away the part
that should have contained the name
of the man who offciated.
n Calls Letter a Forgery.
On the evening of December "a,
1906, he said, he received letter
from Miss Wood in which she stated
that she had received letter from
him acknowledging her as his wife.
This, he said, was untrue and no such
acknowledgment had ever been made.
II such a communication exists, the
senator said, it is a forgery, manu-
featured by the plaintiff to extort
money from him.
