$35,000 JEWEL THEFT
Burglars Enter the Residence of
William Thaw Jr
Among the Valuables Taken Was a
Pearl Necklace Worth $17,000
No Clew to Thieves.
Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 25.-The residence of William Thaw Jr. was robbed of jewels valued at $35,000 while the family was at dinner. Included in the valuables is a pearl necklace worth $17,000, the property of Mrs. Thaw.
Mrs. Thaw had been in the closet where her jewels were kept half an hour before dinner with a view to selecting those she would wear. Only her maid was in the room, and after locking the door as usual Mrs. Thaw joined the family in the dining room.
She was absent about thirty minutes and upon her return went to the closet for the pearl necklace. The door was locked, but when she looked for the necklace it was gone. Hastily opening the other cases she discovered all had been emptied of their contents.
