mart Theft

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 5 (AP)
"A judge said today he has
agreed to act as an intermedi-
ary in seeking the return Of 10
valuable paintings stolen from
an induStrialist's home.
1T is my earnest hope that
the stolen works Of art will be
safely returned and as soon as
possible" said Judge Henry K.
O'Brien Of Allegheny County
Court. IT appeal to anyone
who may know the whereabouts
Of these paintings to contact
G. David Thompson has Of
fered a 100000 reward for the
safe return Of the paintings,
which were stolen from his sub
urban Whitehall home last
Saturday. The burglars also
damaged a number of other
paintings.
Mr.. Thompson has not placed
a value on the stolen paintings,
but the Pittsburgh Post-Ga-
zette said they are worth an
estimated $500,o00. Stolen were
six Picassos, one Miro, one
MatisSe, and two LegerS.
Judge O'Brien, in celebrating
on his position as intermedi-
ary, said:
II will not be an intermedi-
ary in the sense that will be
dealing with crooks directly.
No money will be handled by
me. I will be acting more as
a person making a public ap-
peal for the paintings return.
IAN intermediary is bound
by the law the same as every
one else. He could arrange to
recover the paintings, even ar
range for payment of the
money, but he couldn't arrange
not to prosecute or grant any
immunity"
