Big Re
San Diego, Cal.—C. R. 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.
