Man Who Hypothecated Cheap Jew
elry Said to Have Ilad Assist
ance of Three Second-Class
Jewelers in Portland.
In I Robinwitz, alias I Davis, ar
rested at Tacoma yesterday on com
plaint of the Portland police, after he
had been released from custody in
Portland and had fled the city Detec
tive P. Moloney believes he has one
of the most clever gem swindlers who
has operated in Portland for some time
ird a man who has gained between
J890 r.nd $1000 by obtaining loans of
money on gems of little or no value.
The complainant on thevarrant with
which Robinwitz was arreBted is Mrs.
"!. O. Layman, who grave Robinwitz
$275 as a loan on the security of dia
monds worth less than $50. I O. Jones,
another who complained to the police,
handed over to Robinwitz $250 in a
loan on security of gems worth about
the same amount. H. Strubrud. whose
charge against Robinwitz was with
drawn when the alleged swindler re
turned Strubrud's money, invested
about $175. Other reports of various
amounts received Dy me ponce orins
the total to nearly $1000. and Detective
Moloney believes that if Robinwitz Is
brought to Portland for trial other
victims will be found, swelling the
total amount of money.
Jewelers Alleged Accomplices.
With the aid of three second-class
Jewelers, who are asserted to have been
i:i league with him, and who assured
l.'is victims that the gems offered were
of the reasonable value of much more
than the money loaned, Robinwitz
gathered considerable cash, it is
charged, in the past two weeks. His
fatal mistake came when he gave Mrs.
Jjiyman a note acknowledging that he
lied given his gems as security for the
275 which she gave him, and this
constitutes the "written token" which
the District Attorney insisted was nec
essary by law before Detective Moloney
could secure a warrant.
Robinwitz, who signed his note with
the name of L. Davis, and who gatre
fictitious residence addresses, was ar
rested Thursday night by Moloney on
the complaint of O. H. Strubrud, from
whom he had borrowed-all but $5 of
Strubrud's earnings as a painter. Stru
brud was quite happy to receive his
money in court Friday and was willing
to quash the complaint he had made if
Robinwitz would pay up.
Freedom Is Short-Lived.
Within 12 hours after Robinwitz was
freed Mrs. Layman registered her com
plaint, and Jones called at the detective
department shortly afterward. Barn
est work by Detectives Moloney and
La Salle showed that Robinwitz had
vacated his residence as soon as he was
freed from jail on Strubrud's charge
and had taken a ticket for Tacoma.
When Chief of Detectives Fitzgerald
accosted Robinwitz in Tacoma, he re
fused at first to accept arrest, saying
that there was no warrant out in Port
land, Fitzgerald informed the local
officers over long-distance telephone.
Robinwitz was lodged In jail in spite
of his protestations and last night
telegraphic warrant was forwarded to
Tacoma to hold him until the arrival
of a Portland officer to return him. He
will probably fight extradition, accord
ing to Information from Tacoma.

DEATH ENDS YEAR'S GRIEF
Dr. Ernest Warren, Become Victim
to Alcoholism, Is Dead.
More than a year of horror and sor
row at the death of his brother. Percy
Warren, who was blown to pieces by
dynamite In Lents in ' August, 1912,
ended Saturday when Dr. Ernest War
ren, bis brother, was found dead in the
New Belmont rooming-house, at 193
First street. Death was due to acute
alcoholism, in the opinion of Deputy
Coroner Goetsch, and the alcoholism
was induced by his brother's tragic
end, it is believed.
Summoned after the tragedy from
Newport, Or., by Sheriff Stevens, Dr.
Warren, the dead man's only relative
in this part of the country, broke down.
Only the efforts of the officers pre
vented him from acting In an insane
manner. He was taken back to Port
land under the care of Sheriff Stevens,
but never recovered from the shock.
Prior to his brother's death he was
considered abstemious.
Dr. Warren was 50 years old and his
brother, at the time of his death, was
the same age.

There are three love stories in -."The
Rainbow," which comes to
the Heilig Theater for four per
formances, beginning tonight, but
the chief interest is furnished by
the wholesome, tender, appealing
camaraderie established between
a girl and her father, who were
strangers to one another prior to
the opening of the story. "The
Rainbow" is a tender, wholesome,
sparkling comedy, full of color,'
winsomeness and irresistible
charm. It gives Henry Miller the
most interesting and sympathetic '
role he has created since he be
came a star, and his own fine
acting is reinforced by the splen
- did support he receives from his '
big company of noted players. He
is bringing practically the orig
inal Liberty Theater cast to this
city, and will give the play here
exactly as it was presented last
season in New Tork. . The cast
Includes Ruth Chatterton, Louise
Closser nail, Charles . Hammond,
Ethel Martin, Alice Baxter, Muriel
