VERDICT

GAN JOSE, Dec 25.-Were the
diamonds stolen by robbers from
Mrs John Murphy real or were
they only paste?
Mrs Murphy says they were the real
thing
The robbers say they were only imi-
tati0ns
Mrs Murphy says the robbers re-
turned one paste diamond batpin
and kept the real diamonds.
The robbers say they returned all
that they stole and that all of them
were paste. They say that the rea-
son they gave them back was that
they were worthless.
The burglars recently entered the
house of John Murphy. San Jose capi-
salist, and stole all of Mrs. Murphy $
diamonds.
A short time later the Jewels were
found on the front porch. Afterward
the robbers Were arrested and con-
fessed- They claimed that all OF the
diamonds they got were paste. that
there was not a real stone among
them. and that for that reason they
returned them.
IF they had been genuine we would
have been in New York city having d
good time" said Tom Anderson. one
of the burglars. with a smile. I'VE
took them back the night we found
out they were phoney and threw them
on the porch, together with money
order we couldn't cash.
REAL GEMS. SAYS MRS. MURPHY
Mrs Murphy Indignantly denies
that she wore imitation jewels She
admits that among the jewelry taken
and that returned was one imitation
sdiamond hatpin, but she claims that
she never pretended that it was any
thing but paste. She says the rest of
the stolen jewels were genuine and
that the robbers kept them
The man arrested with Anderson is
Arthur Fisher.
Chief of Police Frank Ross this
morning stated that it is the custom
among many society women who own
real diamonds TO lock them up in safe
deposit vaults. where they viii be
safe. and to wear imitation diamonds
so cleverly made that only an expert
can tell the difference between them
and the real stones.
THIEVES CAUGHT BY CHANCE
Anderson and Fisher diverted sus-
picion while operating here by rent
ing a home in the residence section
together with Anderson's wife and
obtaining clerical jobs. They avoided

prising Lane, Benton, Lincoln coun-
ties, went through with a whoop de-
spite the fact Hagood denounced il
as another little bunch of pap hand
ed out to the sons Of Allah" whatev-
er that may mean. The passage of
this bill, however much it might hurt
the governor, seemed purely on its
merits, and was highly complimentary
to District Attorney Bryson, of Eu-
gene; Eaton, and Parsons, of Lane;
Bonebrake, of Benton, and others paid
high tribute to the character and eff
cheney of Bryson, and Parsons an
nounced that unless the increase was
granted he would resign his office,
which all held was greatly underpaid.
Eaton explained that, while, in gem
eral. he was opposed to increasing sal
aries of public officials after they had
been elected to office, the Bryson case
was dltterent, aS Mr.. Bryson had
stood for reelection with the under
standing that the increase would be
given, else he would resign.
The bill was passed by vote Of 81
to 2, the noes being those Of Hill and
Weeks. Blanchard explained his vote
by saying that Mr.. Bryson was such an
efficient public official, and 50 under,
paid that he merited the increase
Even Homan and Reames, Democrats
voted for the bill, while Hagood was
absent, having paired his vote with
Olson, of Multnomah.
While the bill increases Bryson'i
salary from $14OO to $24OO, his salar!
will really amount to only about $1,000
as from 1t he must pay half the sala
ry Of deputy in Lane county. Thc
Lane deputy will get 5000, the Bentor
deputy 5000 and the Lincoln deputy
5000.
