A Diamond Stud And Much Money

A DIAMOND STUD AND MUCH MONEY

STOLEN BY PICK POCKETS AT A GAME HERE

Two Arrests Were Made in Columbus, Ohio But Warrants Have Not Been Issued Herea

While the Michigan eleven were wiping the O. S. U. team off the slate three weeks ago a gang of pickpockets and thieves were doing a wholesale business in a very quiet way. The matter has been kept from the public in hopes of catching the crooks and was not revealed until Saturday when a gentleman from Columbus came here and tried to get a warrant from Justice Doty for suspects who had been arrested in the Ohio capital. The information about the alleged thieves was not sufficient for the issuance of a warrant and it was consequently refused. Later Prosecuting Attorney Duffy was asked for the same instrument and again it was refused on the ground that the evidence was not direct enough to insure the granting of a warrant for the persons arrested. The police here were informed the night of the game about the wholesale thefts of diamonds and pocketbooks which had occurred and immediately telegraphed to Columbus to arrest the gang when they arrived. The supposition was that they were not local but had come with the Ohio rooters. Suspicious characters were seen to leave the train before it arrived at its destination and no arrests were made when the train arrived. Since then arrests have been made and it is thought that the right parties have been caught. Among the diamonds a $300 stud was stolen and the amount of money reaches into the hundreds of dollars. The police here are working on the theory that it may have been a local gang or some gang from this state.
