It was for her Kern stole the Jowels. J Tt was for him she left her husband. “We've got the woman,” sald a mem- ber of Capt, Titus's staff this afternoon, “but the man has given us the alip. We would have had him at that but for a *, feak on the telephone wire out of Phila- delphia,”” It may not be an easy matter to run Gown the valet. He had $700 when he got out of New York Sunday night or Monday morning. How Jewels Were Traced. ‘The recovery of part of the missing Jewels came through information fur- ished by a pawnbroker, whose name the police carefully conceal. This pawn- broker has a clerk who knew Kern poveral years ago under the name of Emil Brown. . Kern met him here in New York Sun- @ay afternoon and told him he had to @Bise money at once on a lot of jewelry. Stolen by Kern. Tho clerk took him to his employers home and there Kern told a han luck story of having to raise $3,000 at once to get out of the city. The pawnbroke: said he had no such sum tn cash. “Weil, I'll take $1,500 ther." sald Kern. Got $700 in Cash. The pawnbroker offered him $700' cash and said he would let him have $800 on Monday. Kern took the money and left ten Pleces of jewelry, He knew enough of the value of the jewela he had ston not to leave the $15,000 pearl pendan“or the equally valuable diamond pendant with the pawnbroker, Monday morning, when news of the robbery was published, the pawnbroker communicated with Capt. Titus end turned over to him the jomelry. Detec- tives waited about his place all day ez- pecting that Kern would turn up for hi: $800, but the sensation due to tho dis- covery of his crime evidently frightened him off. -: Another pawnbroker turned over to the police a 0 seal-lined overcoat which Kern had pawned for $100 at his place on Saturday night. ‘The police traced Kern and his woman companion to a hotel on Third avenue, and there to-day Oupt. Titus discovered a satchel filled with stolen jewelry. “There was $10,000 worth of this loot,” said a detective this afternoon, “and none of it had been enumerate] or described by Mr. Thebaud. So much was stolen that he cou not trace it all up." FIFTY-POUND ROCK CRASHES INTO HOTEL. An explosion of dynamite in o blast in the excavation for department store at Broadw>y anc Thirty-fourth street at 4. o’clock this afternoon filled the air with fragments of rock. 4 One rock weighing about fifty pounds smashed through the door of the ladies’ entrance to the Herald Square. Hoiel, narrowly missing a young woman and two children. Many rocks fell in Thirty-fourth street and in Broadway and scores of windows were broken. No one was hurt. In this parcel were two pairs of dla- mond bracelets, an oxidized neck-chain, several rings and many sets of diamond etuds and pairs of Jewelled sleeve but- tons. The Gotectives think that Kern and the woman feft the satchel behind them in thelr panic to escape. Capt. Titus refuses to admit or deny that the woman prisoner Is Mrs. Polllon, Concerning the report that she had een captured in Philadelphia and that many od the missing jewels are in a to- de-called-for express package directed to the Hotel Walton, that city, he was ually reticent. Very significant. though, was his indig- nation over a pudlished report of a distance telephone conversation between Police Headquarters here and the Hotel Walton, where Detective Hughes is sta- tioned.

The big fellow is laid up with a bad cold and was ex- coodingly hoarse when he crawled out of bed. Regarding the Fitz- simmons despatch, which was read to him, he satd: “I will do for Fitzsimmons a little better than he did for me. When I fought him I got only 25 per cent. of the purse, win, lose or draw. He took 75 per cent. Now if he is willing to fight, and Delaney's con- tract with Sharkey permits it, he can secure the championship if he beats me, and in addition he can have 65 per cent. of the purse. If he loses I will give him 35 per cent. of the purse. That {s the spit, 65 and 35, winner take the big end. If that fs not fair enough for any man I do not know whet Js.
