IDENTITY OF A PAIR OP E3AHIUNG !
Huibatid nnd Wife Are CIinrRpd wit
Flarlnff Stolen Property.
About two weeks ago a well-dressed an
handsome young woman pledged a dlamon
earring for $40 at Snyder's pawnshop o
Broadway. The transaction was duly rt
ported to the police and on Investigation
developed that the jewel answered the de
scrlptlon of ono stolen from the residence <
Mrs. S. Newman In Omaha some six week
ago. At that time diamonds to the vafu
of $ SOO were stolen from Mrs. Newmai
among the articles being a pair of valuabl
earrings. Detective Weir was detailed o
the case , but he failed to secure any trac
of the young woman who pawned the eai
ring , Yesterday the mate to the earrin
waa pawned at the s\mo place by the sam
young woman and the.matter reported I
Chief Blxby , who at once went to work c
the case himself , fearing that DctectU
Weir might again be baffled. In the shoi
course of half an hour he had the woma
located and she and her husband were take
to police headquarters , where they wci
questioned. They gave the nara of Watsc
and said thy came here about two montt
ago from Louisiana , where Mrs. Watso
claimed she had purchased the diamonds o
the Installment plan. Mrs. Newman wi
sent for and Identified the earrings as her
but In the face of the young woman's pr <
testatlons and until the police investigate
further she was loath to file an informs
tion. Mrs. Watson and her husband wei
then released. Mrs. Watson gave as an ei
cuse for pawning 'the dlamrnds that she dl
so to get money for her husband , who hn
been elck. The earring answered the d (
scriptlon exactly of those stolen from Mr
Newman. The setting of one Is from a dlt
mend ring and the other from a dlamon
stud and consequently there is a markt
difference between the two earrings. Tl
Watsons will be kept under p1 lice aurvel
lance until the. story of her purchasing tl
earrings In Louisiana Is verified.
