$4,000 Gems Hidden I'm Shoes
Missing After Trip to Cobblen'

Mrs. Fannie Cohen. of ITS Hewes
Street, Brooklyn, sought aid last night
of the 18th Precinct police in recover
ing diamond rings and other jewelry
valued at $4,000 which she had hidden
in the toes of an old pair of shoes.
She forgot that she had put the jewelry
in them and sent the shoes to be re-
paired by the Franklin Company, 1865
Hooper Street, Brooklyn.
At 3 n. m. yesterday she suddenly re-
called where she had hidden the dia-
monds and sat up from that time until
the store opened. When the shoes
were returned to her, she told the po.
lice, the diamonds were missing.
Mrs. Cohen explained that she had
been in the habit of hiding her Jewels
III odd corners, such as she believed
burglars would not search. She had
kept them for some time in the stuffing
of an armchair, later in the lining of
an old suitcase, again in the interior
of stuffed jackdaw and lastly in her
old shoes. She believed the shoes were
too old to be worth stealing and poked
the diamonds into the toes of both
stuffing them also with rags. Mrs.
Cohen said she left the shoes in
closet, Gust casual like"

said the shoes were turned over to the
repair department after being marked
to take their regular turn. They had
not yet been reached when Mrs. Cohen
called and asked their return. When
she felt inside the shoes and declared
she had been robbed of her Jewels.
Colandro said, it was the first he knew
Of the alleged loss. The manager said
that ordinarily no examination was
made of the insides of the shoes on
their being taken in. They were to
have been soled and heeled. Anyhow.
Colandro said, he was not running q
safe deposit vault. He ventured the
opinion that Mrs. Cohen would find her
diamonds hidden somewhere else.
Detectives from the Fifteenth pre-
clnct station last night aided Mrs.
Cohen in searching her home. All the
former hiding places OF the jewelry
were investigated, but without result.
Mrs Cohen admitted having lately sold
two pairs of old shoes to an itinerant
purchaser, but denied the possibility
that her diamonds were in either of
the pairs. She remembered the pair
with the diamonds in them because
they had patent leather tips and rub
Der heels, and always hurt her across
the instep.

Senator Clayton R. Lusk, majority
leader of the Senate, was sworn as a
witness at public hearing of a sub
committee of the joint legislative graft
investigating committee last night, and
denied that he had received any money,
directly or indirectly, for introducing
and supporting the detective bill for
which q slush fund was raised.
The witness testified that he did not
know the lobbyist, Jack Kleist, who,
it was testified before Commissioner Of
Accounts Hirshfeld, received $4,000 of
the $4,000 slush fund, and declared
that he had introduced the bill at the
request Of two detectives, Cornelius J..
Brown and James j. Gegan, who had
assisted the committee of which he
was chairman when it was here in~
vestigating seditious activities.
"Since the Legislature adjourned
and since I came here" testified Sena-
tor Lusk, "the detectives have given
me presents"
"What were they?" asked Leonard n.
Wallstein, one Of the associate counsel
to the legislative committee.

"Yes. They also took my daughter

gave me a bill folding book"
"Empty?" inquired Wallstein.
Eyes, empty. l think they also gave
me fountain pen. There was some
talk Of fountain pen. I don't know if
they gave me one. They also gave Mrs.
Lusk some silverware. Of course, none
of these presents was discussed while
the legislation was pending"
This was the end Of the testimony,
and Senator Schuyler M. Meyer, chair
man of the committee. asked if either
of the other two members of the sub
committee, Assemblyman Westall, Of
Westchester. and Minority Leader
Donohue, of New York, had any ques-
tions to ask.
The latter said:

wise to state my connection with the
bill and my interest in it."
Senator Lusk declared that the only
persons he talked to about the bill
were Detectives Brown and Gegan,
Archibald E. Stevenson, former coun-
sci to the Lusk committee, who
favored the bill, and Senator John
Mullan. chairman of the Cities Com
mittee, in which the bill was slumber-
ing until Lusk put life into it.

Frank Farino. sixteen years old, of

wound which pierced his heart. Four
stitches were taken in the heart mus
Gle and three in the covering. DR..
Frank Leder performed the operation,

The boy is employed as a paper sorter

with which bales of paper are bound
and sort the contents of the bales. He
uses knife with 17-inch blade and
his first care on reaching the shop in
the morning is to put keen edge on the
blade.
He was getting the knife ready yes
terday morning when it slipped from his
grasp and, propelled by the whirling
wheel, TUNED end for end and buried
itself in his chest. Some of his fellow
