ORDERS GEN.
RETURNED OWNER;
STOLEN IN ROBBERY
Diamond Ring, Valued at $500,
Center of Robbery Charges
Against Three Men.
Special to The Tribune.

Butte. Aug 5.-Mrs. NJ. NJ. Bloythe'
landlady of the Henderson & Bielen-
berg block, whose diamond ring was
stolen Feb. %, 1921, during a holdup
of her apartments, was given the stone,
a three-carat extra fine diamond. also
a setting for same, by order of Judge
j. j. Lynch Thursday. The property
was located a few days after the hold
up and was used as evidence against
James Mccarthy and Ed Carlson, who
were charged with completely IN the
crime. The ring was found in the
possession of Jack McCafferty. who
bought it for $500 from Mccarthy.
Now that the property has been re-
turned to Mrs. Blythe, the rightful
owner, McCafferty is out his 5000.
Robbery Cases Fall
Mccarthy and Carlson were tried on
a robbery charge and the jury dis
agreed. Later Carlson was tried alone
and the jury disagreed. A second trial
of Mccarthy was held at Missoula.
after the county attorney filed petl-
tons containing several hundred names,
stating that the state could not secure
a fair trial in Silver Bow county be-
cause Mccarthy had so many friends
and relatives. The trial in Missoula
lasted several days, resulting in an ac-
q%uittal.
Thursday the county attorney asked
that the charge against Carlson be dis
missed, calling attention of the court
to the two previous trials. and the
fact that no additional evidence had
been procured, which might assist them
In the prosecution of the case. The
court dismissed the charge.
One Held Insane
Last week Carlson was adjudged in
sane and is now at Warm Springs.
From evidence introduced before the
sanity commission. Carlson had lost
many pounds of flesh since his incar-
ceration of about Is months: that he
was morose, and from the testimony
of physicians. the court decided that
Carlson should be committed before he
became violently insane or died in the
county Jail.
A third member of the trio who were
alleged to have held up the H. & B.
block turned states evidence and i'm
plicated Mccarthy and Carlson. How
ever, the juries hearing the trials did
not 60 much on the evidence of the
nan as the counsel for the defendants
bitterly flayed him, calling him a stool
pigeon and informer. This man left
the state Immediately after the first
trial and has not returned.
Mrs. Blythe's diamond is valued at
$1,000.

AS few arrests as possible on the
