account OF further movements.
1t is alleged after the man had been
arrested and his trial was In progress
that his wife had ditched the diamonds
IL the walks OF the old building.
Immediately after the second trial
the man and his wife disappeared and
were never seen or heard of again.
The case aroused a great deal of eX-
element at Warren. and up to yester-
day had been big mystery
When the old building was being torn
down the workmen found the two rings
and thought they were yalueless, but
on taking them to n jeweler. it was
found that one was worth SIS and the
other $3.50.
Ii is still the belief OF Warren lind

the fake musicians and in order to
avoid suspicion If they were found the
woman threw them between the walls
of the building
Mr.. Boney will leave on the Monon
train for Warren this noon. where he
will identify and claim the valuable
rings.
