HAD HIS BEST FRIEND
FOR THEFT
Disappearance of Diamond
Ring Leads First To
Anger, Then Regret.

G. R. Foster, of Grant Town, was
arrested yesterday charged by Con.
stable Humphreys, Of that place, with
having stolen a fifty dollar diamond
ring belonging to the constable, No
hearing was held as the case was
compromised out Of court.
The two men are fast friends and
have been rooming together for some
time. Fash trusted the other implic
itly and each borrowed the others
clothes, hats or personal belongings
with perfect freedom, But when
Humphreys wad led by circumstantial
evidence to believe that his friend
had borrowed his brand new engage
ment ring, he objected.
On Sunday night the two men went
to bed as usual and sometime in the
night when Humphreys awoke he
saw Foster moving about in the room
and believed that he was going
through the pockets Of his (Hum-
phreys) clothes. He gave the matter
no second thought, however, thinking
probably that Foster was searching
for a match.
The next morning when Humphreys
arose he discovered that the diamond
ring, which he had been carrying in
a wallet in his hip pocket, was miss
ing. At once he leaped to the con.
clusion that his roommate had sue
commed to temptation and had stolen
the ring. He accused Foster, threat.
ened arrest and finally carried out
his threat
When he came to the Jail yesterday
to arrange for hearing the two men
attempted to talk the matter over but
both were so filled with remorse at
the breach that had come between
them that they broke down and wept.
Humphreys withdrew the charges
against his friend and the two re-
turned to their home to search togeth'
or for the missing ring.
