Orville Daggett, 422 Quincy @treet

Iarchmont, n. Y, are locked up in
police headquarters, charged With the
theft.
The police blotter reads that, act
ing in concert, they stole two rubies.
one diamond and a platinum chain
set with diamonds, all valued at $780,
600.
The complainant against the men
is Clement Charles Tagehoff, mana
ger of the Hartman estate. Orville
Daggett was arrested at his home,
and Arthur was arrested at ATS Fifth
avenue.
Orville gave his age as As years and
his occupation as clerk. Arthur P,
said he was AZ years old and had no
occupation. Detectives Boyle and
Griffin made the arrests. At a late
hour they were said to be out OF
town, having gone after the jewels
upon learning where they were hid
den.
Mr.. Tagehoff refused to talk about
the arrests last night at his homo in
the Warrington Hotel, 161 Madison
avenue.
Il have nothing to say about tn"
case" he said over the telephone.
"But it will all come out anyway
he was told
'I don't care about that" he 70
Piled "but 7 have no comment to
make tonight"
Mrs. Hartman, dressing for the
opening of the opera season on the
evening of November 13, opened the
wall safe in her room to get out the
diamond necklace. which she seldom
wore but had locked up ceVera1
months before. The necklace and sew
eral other pieces of jeWelry were gone.
Saying nothing, she went to the opera.
Next day she notified Arthur Woods
police commissioners, and special de-
tectives were put on the case. Every
effort was made to keep the ! >ss OF
the jewels a, secret. Private detec-
tives aided the police. A popularity Of
the case was that when the news Of
the incident did become public lone
of the persons concerned would call
it a robbery, but referred to it sim
ply as a loss
It now appears that this meant
nothing except that the house had
not been burglariously entered. The
safe showed no signs of having been
mOlested.
The office Of the Hartman estate
is at ATS Fifth avenue.
