RUTLAND, Feb. "a conscience
stricken thief used the United States

valuable diamond ring which was
stolen from the house 10 days ago. No
apology and no clue to the identity of

and the police, to whom the. matter
was referred, were saved a lot of work

brought about the return of the proper

The ring, which is said to be worth
not far from 800 was left on a tele

was suddenly missed without apparent
