hold
TT was a strange thing" added Sam
wick, that on the night OF the theft
Mrs. Hanan took the pearl necklace
containing about 1875 pearls out OF the
drAwerS and put II on. She was dress
Ing to 60 to some sort Of bazaar,
but decided that the necklace was too
heavy for such a warm night and
took II on She gave 1t to the maid
to replace in the drawer with the other
Jewels. Mrs. Hanan left the house at
$3.50, and did not get back until about
1880. when the maid told her that
somebody had gone to the drawer and
stolen the jewelry,
Robbery Was Easy.
''The investieation which we made
showed that shortly after Mrs. Hanan
went out, the maid left the room, and
went out to get some spring water
AS she expected to come right back she
did not lock the drawer containing the
Jewels At first she said she was away
only fifteen minutes, but afterwards
admitted that she was gone perhaps
forty minutes. On the same night the
night Waterman was away, so that II
would have been perfectly easy for a
burglar to enter the house and get the
jewelry.
1T is absurd to say that the rob-
berry was committed by some society
man, or woman Nothing would be
easier than to gain entry to the Hanan
home. The town only has three police
men; the house IL surrounded with
trees, and with the Waterman away II
was perfectly simple for a burglar to
climb through an open window and en- :
ter the room where the tewelry was
kept
1T Is also ridiculous" continued
Samwick. ito say that a relative had
anything to do with the robbery. The
Jewels were stolen by a servant, or a
former servant, and we are working on
that theory"
