Mrs. Robertson Alleged
to Have Worked One
in Columbus .
REAL ONES too
Confesses She Intended
Robbing New York
Friends --.
ny Associated Pressl

Freehold, n. j., Feb. 24.-After
the alleged confession of Mrs. Sarah
L. NJ. Robertson that she staged the
holdup at her Deal Beach home last
Saturday night, the police today were
seeking to learn if she is the same
woman who a year ago secured $10,-
900 from an insurance concern for
the reputed theft of gems in Colum-
bus, Ohio.
The police last night recovered
Mrs. Robertson's jewels, which were
supposed to have been taken by the
"robber." She gave the authorities
a note to the person in whose GUS
tody the gems were, and they were
turned over without further ado,
Two of the pieces recovered, the po-
lice say, correspond exactly to de-
scriptions of gems alleged to have
been stolen from Mrs. Robertson in
Columbus.
According to the Ohio city's police,
Mrs. Robertson was robbed while
visiting the home of a friend there.
Among the gems she reported as
stolen was a large brooch studded
with diamonds and with pearls. One
of the pieces recovered is of this de-
scription.
Desperate Through Debt.
The police say she included in her
confession a statement that she was
driven to desperation by embarrass-
ments in her real estate business
and that she had planned, in addition
to the "fake" robbery of herself, two
real robberies of New York friends,
owners of big jewel collections. Pros
ecutor Sexton, to whom the alleged
confession was made that, demand
ed that she detail step by step the
manner in which she had planned
and arranged the Saturday night
robbery.
The recovered jewels are said to
be worth $4,000, although Mrs.
Robertson claims their value to be
$4,000. They were insured with
Lloyd's for $4,000.

Pasadena.
ny Associated Presal

| Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 24.-The
condition of Mabel Normand, film
actress, reported critically ill by her
physician last night, remained un-
changed this morning, according to
the most reliable information obtain
able here.
| Miss Normand, who secluded her
self some time ago in residence in
Altadena, suburb of Pasadena, is
said to be suffering from an aggra-
waited case of influenza. She moved
to the Altadena residence shortly
after the funeral here of William
Desmond Taylor, motion. picture di-
rector, who was slain in his apart
ments on the evening of February 1.
Although her condition last night
was regarded as serious her physi-
clans said he had hope she would re-
cover.
Miss Normand, a close friend of
Taylor, and one of the last persons
known to have seen him alive, col
lapsed at the funeral services and at
that time it was stated he was on
the verge of nervous breakdown.
Deeply affected by the mysterious
shooting of the director, the film
comedienne left her Los Angeles,
apartment shortly after she was
questioned by the district attorney
as to any clue she might be able to
give to aid in the solution of the
crime.
Suffered a Collapse.
Then, secluded in the foothill res
idence where she today lies in Sc
rious condition, Miss Normand suf-
fered nervous collapse, according
to her physician, the result of con-
tinued depression over the tragedy
in which she had played one of the
leading roles. .&.
At one time it was reported Miss
Normand and Taylor were engaged.
But the actress steadfastly has de-
MED that there was ever any affair
of the heart between her and the
slain director, maintaining they were
merely "the best of friends"
Miss Normand visited the director
early in the evening of February 1.
She went to his apartments to bor-
row a book from him, she said. While
there she stated, she chatted with
Taylor for few minutes and then
the director escorted her to her car
anw waved good-by to her as her
limousine sped down the street. Tay-
lor then returned to his apartments,
where, the next morning, his body
was found by Henry Ueavey, his
houseman.
Miss Normsad's story of her last
visit to Taylor's apartments was
corroborated by her chauffeur, Will
liam Davis.

If this was decided upon it was said,
the body of Captain Dale Mabry,
commander of the Roma, would be

Most of those who find their daily

likely TO make any greater Roadway or
find greater pleasure In doing any
other Job under the sun, unless they
first had a change in their own view

Usually il is not what one may be
doing, but the spirit in which it is
done which makes work pleasant or
undesirable. When people are con

themselves above the Importance of
the duty at hand, the task will seem
distasteful and inconsequential, re
