''Kid Mccoy Under
Arrest in London.

London, July 26.-Norman Selby,
alias Kid Mccoy" has been arrested
here. According to the Scotland Yard
authorities Mccoy is suspected of be-
ing implicated in a jewelry robbery at
the Grand Palace hotel, Ostend. They
admit, however, the only evidence tn "
have against him thus far is that Nc

Russia by a gang of thieves who en-
gagged an adjoining room. and entered
her apartments during her absence.
They secured a case containing jew
els valued at $50. 600 but in their hurry
overlooked a larger case.
The officials at Scotland Yard say
that a man known as Squeezer Ramp
and woman companion already have
been arrested at Ostend for alleged
connection with the crime. Mccoy. il
is declared. recently was a guest al
the Grand Palace hotel with party
of friends.
The only large robbery reported
from Ostend recently was that of the
Princess of Thurn and Taxis. who. it
was stated, had jewels valued at $780,,
600 stolen from her in a hotel there.
The princess was a Miss Nichols of
Uniontown. Pa. She was divorced in
Pittsburg in 1906 from Gen. Gerald
Fitzgerald of Ireland and, last Novem-
Der at the home of her mother in
Uniontown. married Prince Victor of
