FUNERAL OF MRS. WILLIAMS
Services for Woman Who Fell to
Death Will Be Held Tomorrow
Mrs. Grace Young Williams, wife of
Francis Churchill Williams, noted
mnga?iun editor nnd novelist, who fell
from n porch at the rear of her home.
158 We.st Coulter street. Tuesdaywill
do Duricu tomorrow nucrnoon.
Funeral services will be held in St.
Luke'sChurch, nt :i:!!0 o'clock. In
terment will be private.
Deputy Coroner Chnrles Snyer said
Mrs. Williams's death was due to the
defectiveness of a railing on the second
story porch from which she fell.
Mrs. Williams wns forty-three yeah)
old. She leaves besides her husband,
one son. Francis Churchill Williams,
Jr., a student nt Chestnut II1I1 Acad
emy. Mr. Williams is nn associate ed
itor of the Saturday Kveulng Post
Thieves who stole the $.100.00(1 pearl
neckinccs of Mrs. George II, McFnd
den. Jr., will hnve a hard time dis
posing of them, because they are known
by Jewelers throughout the world.
The police believe the "fences" (buy
ers of stolen goods), through, who"m
Uileves ordinarily clear their spoils, will
hesitate before accepting the McFnd
den neckinccs because of this fact, and
the thieves may try to sell the pearls
to n reputable jeweler.
Tile reward offered Is $.10,000. This
sum, Captain Sweeney, of the Itadnor
township police, believes is more than
the thieves' will bu able to .reullzcA by
selling the neckinccs, because of the
danger, hivolved.
The necklaces, 'wllh other jewels
were stolen from tie Villanovn home of
Mr. and Mrs. McFadden.
Suspect "Inside" Workers
Tlie detectives arc convinced thnt the
theft of the jewels from Mrs. McFnd
den's room was either the work of an
"Inside" thief or of a porch clluiher,
who received assistance from within.
Mr. McFadden, however, does not sus
pect any of his domestic.
Captain Whnley. of Hochester, N.
Y.. who established a reputation for
solving jewel robberies, arrived In Villa
novn yesterday to take up the search.
Captain Sweeney, upon being asked
to explain why Captain Whnley was
called In. replied that they were work
lug inn nn important clue.
All of the servants were summoned
by the police to the Wityne hcuiJiiuar
lirs, where they were questioned indi
vidually for an hour at a time. Finally
al! were set buck to the estute with
the exception of one man who, accord
ing to the informntion received by the
police, wns one6 employed in n N'mv
York establishment where n $2.",1)(H)
jewel robbery occurred. He was ques
tioned until ilmk mid wns finally re
leased. Similar Job In New York
Police in this city were informed to
dny of the robbery ofj jewels vu'ued nt
nearly $100,000 nt the Sleepy Hollow
Country Club, nt Scarborough -oii;the-Hifdsuu,
enrly yesterday.
The methods emplojed in the Sleepy
Hollow iobbery were the same us those
used by the "boudoir thieves" who es
caped with the McFadden jewels and
those owned by Mrs. William Sackett
Duell, of Mcndowhrook, Pa.
A pearl nccU'uco, vulued ot $00,000
nnd owned by Mrs. Clarence C. Chap
man, of .120 Park avenue, New York,
was included in the loot, together with
less expensive pieces, some belonging to
her husband. A diamond bracelet
wrist watch, owned by Mr. Charles
K. Danforth, was also taken.
The thefts took place some time after
2 o'clock yesterday morning, nt which
tlnnj the guests retired. One niter an
other the rooms of the guests were en
tered. Police hero consider it a signifi
cant coincidence thnt Mrs. Chupmnu's
room nnd the boudoir of Mrs. .McFad
den both led bnto porch roofs.
