MYSTERY WOMAN
QUIZzED TODAY AS
JEWEL SMUGGLER
Indicted With Soviet Clerk and
Sailor After Arrest in $780,
900 Diamond Seizure.

When a mysterious woman is ar
iaigned to-day before United States
Commissioner Hitchcock 1t Is be-
lieved the full story Of big diamond
smuggling plot will be told. Nils
Jacobson, a sailor on the Swedish
American liner stockholm. was ar
rested while leaving the ship last Fri
LAY with 23l unset diamonds valued

the exposures they expect In the case.
Saffron and Jacobson were arraigned
, yesterday and Saffron was released on
bail ana the sailor paroled. The
woman was in court heavily guarded
! The ariuignments were made as
quietly as possible and all Assistant
United States Attorney Walker would
say for publication was that the case
was or unusual Importance, as would
develop when the full story of the
Alleged diamond smuggling conspir-
ncy became known. He refused to
make the name OF the woman public.
The complaint on which the Grand
Jury acted was made by Customs In
spector John w. Roberts, who
charged that on May 1 last the three
persons named in the indictment en-
tered into the smuggling conspiracy
and asserted that the diamonds were
to be obtained in Stockholm, Sweden.
1t futher set forth that three overt
acts were committed by the defen-
dants. One OF these had to do with
the unnamed woman, who. II was as
serted, entered into conversation
July 2 last with one Senda Escola,"
Finn. It is further recited that
July % Jacobson attempted to SNUG
gle diamonds from Stockholm, and
that two days later saffron visited
tho rooming house at No. 224 West
SGD Street"
Isaac A Hourwtch, the attorney who
appeared for Saffron, was asked what
he knew about Saffron.
He came to this country after he
and his father had lost their business
in Russia because of the war;" re-
piled the lawyer. "He was imEbver-
ished and went TO Canada first. Then
he came here and up to while ago,
when he injured his arm, he worked
in an automobile shop. He has not
worked since. He knows nothing OF
smuggling these diamonds, am sure
of that"
