NO TRACE OF JEWELRY
THIEVES HAS YET BEEN
DISCOVERED

st. Augustine, Feb. II. Nothing has
developed to lead to the hope that
the thieves who robbed the Greenleaf
& Crosby Co. store at Palm Beach
Detectives are working on the case
but thus far have not been success
mond necklaces were stolen, each
valued at $4,000, and two white men
il is said committed the robbery by
some sleight of hand performance.
The men are described by the store
clerks One of the men is said to be
six feet tall. about 30 years old and
about 10 pounds weight blonde and
clean shaven. He was wearing blue
suit at the time the robbery was com
mitted. His companion is about
feet, inches tall, weighs about 165
pounds, has black hair and prominent
nose. He wore a brown suit.
Mr.. Fuller. who is in charge of the
St Augustine stores oft he firms, says
altogether to the carelessness of the
clerks. The boldness of the crime had
much to do with It's success He men
toned that the store is often thronged
with shoppers and people who are
merely looking around, and that 1t is
probable the theft was committed
during one of the rush moments. The
two men entered the store and under
the pretext that they desired to
make some very expensive purchases
asked to see the necklaces. Just
how they managed to slip away with
the necklaces has not been made
clear, but 1t is thought one of the
men distracted the attention of the
clerk for a moment while the other
secreted the valuables and then both
left the store before the loss was
discovered.
A reward of one thousand dollars
! has been offered by Greenleaf q
Crosby Company for information that
will lead to the recovery of the neck
laces This is the biggest robbery
ever perpetrated in jewelry store
in Florida and no expense will be
spared in attempting the capture OF
the thieves and the recovery OF the
stolen nronertY

Some find it harder to face de

derision has made Christian men
and women conform to oblectia nable
social customs II was fear of de-
r'sien that forced men into duelling
when their better natures told them
that they owed higher duty to

to the custom that put human life
