He has served time on Blackwell's leland for forgery in the third degree and was well aware that with no defense to the charge of hav- ing conducted @ lottery, he would have been in line for another prilson term. It was announced in Toren’s behalf last week that he had discontinued his baseball pools voluntarily and would never resume whatever the outcome of the case pending against him. It was not thought by his friends, however, that he would entirely “pass the buck” to the friend who had secured his bond, Before his disappearance Toren offered to exchange knowledge he said he had of other pools in New York for @ dia- continuation of the oase against him, and he voluntarily supplied some unim- portant data.

NEWPORT, R. 1, Aug. 18..—Fashion- able Newport was stirred to-day when it Deeame known that the jewelry store of Herrmann on Thames street, the prin- cipal one in the business section of the town, had bedf entered by robbers and Herrmann’a, which is conducted by George A. Wood, is popular with the Four Hundred here for hurry orders and on the books of the firm appear the names of all the leaders of society. The robbery, which has mysterious features, occurred some time between Geturday night and early to-day. When the porter of the store opened the site door this morning at 7 he found the plape in confusion. He an to the eafe and there found glycerine, powder ‘and other uten- ails of burglars. He gave an alarm and investigation showed that the robbers must have been frightened away before they could diéw open the safe, which contained . $250,000 worth of Jewels. Near the’eate lay a perfeet set cf burglars’ tools which the robbers tad evidently left in their haste to get away. Three show cases were broken and from ‘one of them had been taken all of the Jewelry left there. A fourth, left um- touched, contained jewels worth many thousands of dollars. This comprised mounted gems, unset stones and watches. Asked as to the reason for leaving such valuable Jewelry in the ordinary show case, Mr. Wood maintained that the case not only was right in the front part of the store but had a power- ful Hght shining on it throughout the night. Thames street is and many pefsons are passing at all hours of the night. . “amination of the doors failed to dis- close any forced entrance and every dames McCreary & Co. 34th Street On Sale Tuesday, August 19th.
