PROMISE TO RETURN
STOLEN SILVERWARE
IF REWARD BE PAID
Following the sensational robbery of
her home at 787. Overton street. In tha
fashionable Nob Hill dlBtrict, lost Mon
day by a female crook, who entered In
the guise of a second maid, Mrs. Her
bert Holman has during the list few
days received telephone calls from two
persons who claim to know where the
stolen jewels and silverware are cached.
Both promised to return the valuable
for a sufficient reward. v
There first telephone message waa re
ceived from a man- with an exceptionally
deep voice, who asked that he might
talk to Mrs. Holman personally, i
"I know where your silverware and
jewels are hidden," he told her, after
raaklnar inquiries to assure himself that
he was talking to the proper person,
"and If vou care to offer a sufficient
reward 1 11 turn them over tp you." -
After talking freely for some time the
man Informed Mrs. Holman he would
call again and hung up the receiver.
No second message has yet been received
from the same person. I
Later a womaji called Mrs. Holman to
the telephone and told her that her
valuables might be recovered at a cer
tain numbur, Upon Investigation It waa
found that the occupants of the house
at the number given were friends of
Mrs, Holms n and above suspicion. De
tectives think that the second message
was merely an attempt to-annoy the
people residing at the number given.
Last Tuesday the papers stolen from

found In South Portland. Fastened to
them was a note which requested the
finder to return tn ta ft7 Qverton

Both Mrs. Holman and the polios are

Mrs. Susan Agnes Snyder, who formerly
worked for Dickerson as his housekeep
er, but who for the past' -week or more
has been cooking for the men boarding
at 42S Patton Road, me scene of the

Mrs. Snyder was much excited fol

the witness-stand in Lis own defense,
in his wife's suit for separate main

Nicoll explained to the court that he
deemed the testimony already re

necessary to take up further time by
putting his client on the witness
stand. This action was - a complete
surprise to the prosecution.
Shearn began his rebuttal of the de

Gould's alleged Intemperance, by read
ing an affidavit signed by Mrs. Altco
Stlckney Bankhead, who swore that she
had never seen the plaintiff under tha
influence of liquor and that her con

that she saw Mrs. Gould every day dur

attended a dinner given by the Goulds
and had many opportunities to observe
Mrs. Gould's manners and habits. v
Mrs. Bankhead's deposition also said
that she never saw Mrs. Gould drink
any more-than a lady should. This
testimony was corroborated by a depo
sition made by Lieutenant Bankhead.
Numerous witnesses were called to re
fute the testimony of the defense that
Mrs. Gould was a hard drinker.

dealer, and M. J. Duffy, superintendent
of construction at Castle Gould, both
