Among the guests at the house ly in October was Mrs. I. D. Webster, a wealthy widow, whose home is in Brooklyn, N. Y., and who spends her | winters in California. She carried with her diamonds and other jewelry worth nearly $20,000, nearly all of it being con- tained in a fancy jewel case made es- pecially for it. As a matter of precaution she placed this case in the hotel safe and took from it, from time to time, such articles as she desired to use. Thus the bellboys learned of its presence there and of its contents. CHANCE FOR THEFT. Reinlein had been appointed night clerk at the hotel, because he had displayed un- usual ability in such work, and this ap- pointment was just what the trio wanted to complete their plan of securing Mrs. Webster's jewelry. Fortunately for them she decided to go to Coronado and not caring to take her diamonds with her left them, as she thought, in the hotel safe. “That was just the chance we wanted,” said Reinlein in his confession. “We | knew we would have time to make a | get-aw and no ene would know that the stuff had been lifted. The uight she | left the house, October 26, 1 was on the night trick and I emptied that jewel case in & napkin and put the empty case back into the safe. We three got together and decided to hide the stuff and then quit | one at a time, so that we would not be | suspected.

We pawned a diamond cluster worth $1000 for about $200 to get the coin we needed and then left here.

Price Paid for the Traction System Nearly Two Millions. —— LOS ANGELES, July 12—It is stated on reliable authority that the Huntington- Hellman street rallway syndicate will, on next Wednesday, assume control of all the street railway lines in Los Anghles, including the Los Angeles traction sys- tem. The price paid for the traction system is stated as $1.785,000. The battle, which was at its height when $110,00 was paid for a franchise on West Sixth street, will thus have culminated in the consolidation of all the street raillway systems in Los Angeles under one ownership, It was definitely stated Saturday the Clark option on the traction com- pany's system was transferred to the Huntington-Hellman syndicate befors H. E. Huntington left Los Angeles and that the property wiil be tranaferred not Jater than Wednesday. The holdings of the Los Angeles Trac- tion Company, which include the Cali- fornia Pacific Railway with a trackage of twenty miles, consists of forty-nine miles of street track, together with power- sub-station and rolling stock val- t almost $1,000,000. The gross earn- of the company last year amounted 63 and the net earnings were $115.- 600. Most of the city franchises of the | traction company run until 1944 T e Marin County Pioneer Dead.

The trio then started for Chicago, and | on the way Engvall was robbed of near | $400, he says, by the other two. He wi | afraid to report the case, but swore he would be revenged. He d the debt by confessing the whole crime after his a rest in Chicago, and but for that confe: sion he and Reinlein would probably have | been released after a time because there was little positive evidence to connect them with the crime. The capture of the gang resulted from | the receipt of an anonymous letter by the | | Los Angeles police, telling them to look | up Engvall in a Chicago hotel, and also | mentioning Reinleln. This letter was turned over to detectives and the two boys were taken into custody. The offi- cers secured a confession, first from Eng- vall, and then both boys told of Baer's connection with the crime. All that re- mained for the officers then to do was to have them brought back ty Los An- geles and two Los Angeles detectives made the trip to Chicago to get them. They will be given a preliminary exam- ination in the police court here on Tues- day. ADVERTISEMENTS.
