Riese, con fessed , diamond thief, awaiting ar raignment in Superior court to plead to his part in the theft of $40,000 worth of diamonds and other jewels from guests of the U. S. Grant hotel, refused an offer of $10,000 made on condition that he tell where the fam ous jewels stolen from Mrs. Eugene de Sabla the night of the Mardi Gras ball in San Francisco are hidden. The offer to Riese was made through Chief of Police Wilson and Chief of Detec tives Myers. These officers claim the jewels are insured for $50,000 and that a reward of $20,000 is offered for their recovery. 'They offered to divide with Riese if he would confess. Riese maintains he had no hand in the De Sabla robbery, Officers know that Riese, Paul Sobie and Margaret Ward Manners were in San Francisco at the time of the rob bery at the St. Francis hotel. They claim they have knowledge that Riese knows where the jewels are hidden. “ There is nothing to be gained by keeping anything back,” said Riese to the officers. “ I have come through clean with everything I know, and if I knew anything about the De Sabla diamonds or of the crime I would tell it. Ten thousand dollars is a lot of money, but I cannot get it because I don’t know about the De Sabla affair.” Riese would make no further state ment. Paul Sobie, his accomplice in the other robberies, is held for trial on a charge of grand larceny. The woman was released, but is under sur veillance. Riese confessed to complicity in stealing $85,000 worth of securities in New York two years ago, for which an attorney named O’Reilly was sent to prison.
