The robber abandoncd the othery, matched the handhus from her and ran from the house, ilrs. Robertson paid tt béfore entermme the dining room he had waved as though ‘o signal to some one behind him ana had torn the sunvurst from ner breast. She also said she heard un automobile leave the ariveway after the robbery. The police, when called by tele- phone, were unable to get any trace of an automobile. They did learn that Mrs. Robertson was consider- ably concerned about the financing of her real estate programme and meant to live in one of the cottages until all were rented at from $2,500 to $4,000 for the season, when she intended to move to an expensive beach hotel. She had given up her rooms at the Hotel McAipin here the day before the robbery. As clues she had only suggested to the police that strangers might have observed the jewelry when she checked it up on taking it from the safe of the Hotel McAlpin before leaving or when she took it from the bag to show on the train to a young ‘woman whose name she gave the po- lice. She insisted that the Deal Chief of Police come to the city when she made her claim against Lioyds Monday morning. In Bailey's statement as described to the pédlice, he asserted that last November he was approached by Gasn, who said Mrs. Robertson would pay $500 to take part in a ‘fake hold- up’* which would give her the basis for collecting insurance on her jewelry. At the time, according to the police version of the confession, Bailey re- fused, but the proposal was repeated a week before last Satur with the payment to him increased to $1,000, and he accepted. The bag, according to Bailey's statement as reported by the police, was filled with wadded tissue paper and he did not take the sunburst from Mrs. Robertson's dress in the vesti- bule. He further asserted that the “revolver” which he @vas described as pointing at Mrs. Robertson and her visitors was the leather case of a to- bacco pipe. Considerable amusement has pre vailed since Bailey's arrest among those who investigated Mrs. Robert- son's story because of their recollec- tion of the statements made by Mr. Meyer the following day. In describing the invader’s weapon Mr. Meyer said: “It was a big auto- matic, with a silencer. I am positive it had a@ silencer because I know all about firearms, and it was right under my nose.”” ONE OF THE GUESTS QUES- TIONED BY DETECTIVES. Detective Lediard of Deal went to ‘Taber's home in Belmar at 3 o'clock this morning and arrested him as a material witness of the ‘robbery.’ Taber said he only knew what had been told to him by Gasn The Long Branch police were reach- ed by telephone and arrested Gasn at the Long Branch railroad station. After three hours in the police station he named Bailey and after Bailey was -confronted with the stories of the other two he is said to have made the confession which the police have given out. Gasn admitted, according to the police, that he expected $2,000 of the profits of the plot. Mrs. Robertson was the widow of Charles C, Miller, who had made a fortune in Westinghouse Electric and Peerless Rubber when she married Dr. Joseph A. Robertson of Galveston. Tex., in 1911. She had gone through with a violent quarrel with her first , husbahd over $206,000 which he had given her and then had undertaken to recover from her safe deposit vault. The quarrel was settled after Sheriff Erlanger had collected $2,500 as cus- todian of the disputed money. Dr. Robertson separated from her in 1905, advertising he was not responsible for herdebts. She had a lawsuit with H. A. Content & Co., in which they, re- covered $90,000 after defeating her action for $125,000 which she had sme made and lost in Union Pacific and United States Steel in 1912, She |sued Dr. Robertson for a divorce in 2919, after a raid on his apartment in the Albemarle Hotel, and he brought counter suit, Both suits were thrown out by Justice Glegerich. pear neee 7a MAX OSER GETS OUT OF LIMELIGHT Mathilde McCormick’s Fiance Quits Zurich While Movie Men Lament.
