YER diamond salesman had been re-
leved of $4,000 worth of gems In a
room at tho Mctropole hotel, are In
Texas. They are in Huntsville but to-
day are not under arrest.
Until few days ago they were In
jail there but were released from GUS
tody In hopes that they would fly from
the confines of the Lone Star state to
some other state where the extraditlon
laws are not so stringent.

wanted pair. but 1t is known positive

I that the right couple were under arrest
