Messenger Leaves
Wreath and Steals
$4,000 in Jewels
Liquid Plaster Covered
Thief's Fingers at
Humphreys Funeral

Among the many messengers who
carried flowers and funeral wreaths
into the home of Edward w. Hum
phreys, president of the Mississippi
Glass Company, at 9 East Sixty-fifth
Street, on Tuesday, was one, the police
believe, whose finger prints might be
found in criminal records. But his
fingers on this occasion were covered
with liquid court plaster and no marks
were left when he lifted about $4,000
worth of jewels from a drawer in Mrs.
Humphreys room.
AS far as could be learned, the theft
occurred some time Tuesday morning,
when up until after noon a steady
stream of flower laden messengers
passed through the front door. The
flowers were for the funeral of a mem
Der of the family.
Mrs. Humphreys room is at the rear
of the second floor. Tuesday afternoon
when she entered it she was startled to
see her jewel box lying on the bed. She
had not looked into it since two days
before when she had placed it in the
drawer. She opened it and found it
empty. She rushed to the dresser
where in the same drawer she had
placed another box containing a dia-
mond necklace, said to be worth $780,
900. This box has not been touched.
On the floor the police found an
empty bottle which had contained liq-
uid court plaster and this explained
why not finger print could be found
on the box or on the drawer save those
of Mrs. Humphreys.
The stolen jewelry consisted of a
diamond tiara, necklace of 10 evenly
matched pearls, diamond and emerald
ring, a diamond studded watch, dia-
mond bracelet and diamond collar.
The Humphreys home is just few
doors from that of Vincent Aston
