The theft oc- curred Tuesday, acording to the Scaf- fa Detective Agency, which has also announced a liberal reward. Mrs. Williams, whose husband died about seven years ago, lives at No. 2344 Germantown Avenue, Philadel- phia. She ordinarily wears a number of valuable jewels which her husband gave to her. Tuesday she left Philadel- phia on an early Pennsylvania Ralil- road train—6:58 a. m.—and planned to go to a hairdresser when she reached New York. She would have had to take off the jewelry at the hairdresser’s so she put it all in the bag with her money. On the train the possibility of !helt‘ struck her for the first time and worried her.

Be- sides, she is a prominent member of all the Irish Republican societies in | Philadelphia and she was on her way | to New York to discuss with Irigh leaders the injunction just granted in this city impounding the De Valera funds here. She was reading the latest news of it in the newspapers as she rode. With these distractions, according ; to Mr. Scaffa of the detective agency, | it was possible for some one unno- ticed to take the seat behind her and | put a handbag {n the rack overhead. | When the thief got out, he or she | took Mrs. Willlam’s bag and left the other. The bag left is a small cheap Glad- stone bag. It is tan and has no re- | semblance to the large new one which | was taken. All it contained was a pair of stockings,a night cap, some chil- | dren's underclothing, a rubber ball | and a strong smell of camphor. Looks Like Pawned Bag It looks and smells like a bag that | for a dollar,” said the detective. “It looks like a deliberate switching of bags with a made-up bag.” The Scaffa Agency has been retain- i ed by Mrs. Willlams and by an insur- | ance company, which {insured the jewels. Detectives of the Pennsylvania Railroad are co-operating, but so far, Mr. Scaffa says, no clue has been ob- tained. A description of the jewelry has been sent out. A pair of dlamoénd earrings, set with 2-carat stones on prong settings; a . hutterfly brooch c omposed of a large | ruby, with the back and butterfly | wings set with diamonds, a platinum and gold diamond studded bracelet containing nine stones, a gold brace- let watch studded with twenty-two dlamonds, a gold cross and chain studded with seventeen diamonds, a solitaire diamond ring, a gold dia- | mond cluster containing eight stones, | a princess ring containing seventy stones and a diamond cluster ring with | ten stones.
