few hours on Sunday for the express
purpose Of afording merchants an op-
portnity Of putting their Christmas Eve
takings into safe keeping. The deserip-
tions which they gave indicate ehat the
two Jobs were the work Of the same
pair OF smooth-spoken, neTly-shayed
and peFfumed young men reported
before.
A man who said no wanted to buy a
diamond ring, and another who said nc
was on insurance agent, worked IN
partnership on the robbery at the
! iewelry store Of Gold. They grabbed
three rings, valued altogether at tlb5,
and got away III an automobile, which
waited for them at the curb. Gold

arrested in n hallway at Mot Street,
after he had been chased Man

cerned In the Gold hold-up. The other
