MANAYUNK MAN ACCUSED
OF ROBBERY IS ARRESTED
Plot Hinted In Theft of Precious
Metal Frem E. A. Cowley,
400 Chestnut 8treet
After hiring a tazlcab In which te
make a quick escape, Walter Knmln
sky, Main and Cotten streets, Mana
yunk, stele a brief case containing
geld nuggets nnd mine plana and also
a bag belonging, te Edward A. Cowley,
mining engineer, of 400 Chestnut
street, according te the police, from
the Reading Terminal. The theft oc
curred welle Mr. Cowley was buying
n ticket.
Kamlnsky was arrested and held In
$600 ball for a further hearing by Mng.
istrate Ceward teriav. Hn wita falrl'v
well dressed, but refused te say a word
nt the formal hearing. Ne one appeared
against him. Up te the present time
'no pence have been unable te get in
touch with Mr. Cowley.
The case Is a mystery became of the
somewhat conflicting statements of Ka
mlnsky when he was arrested.
Kamlnskv said ha win nnrant nt th
importance of the paper stolen and
seiignc te create tne impression tnat he
was just a fellow down and out who
took anything he could get.
Police Believe Otherwise
Police believe otherwise and started
an Investigation te see whether Kamln
sky was acting in behalf of some con
cern which might be striving te obtain
information regarding the concern of
Cowley, Enstman & Ce.. of which Mr.
Cowley Is n member.
Kamlnsky's arrest was brought about
by Jehn Kelly, a tnslcab driver, of
eixii-enin ami Arcn streets.
While Kelly was standing In front of
the Terminal Kamlnsky approached and
snld he would want him in n few min
utes. He entered the Terminal and re
appeared almost Immediately with n
handbag nnd large elaborate brief ense.
"Manayunk, quick," he said te Kelly,
and the driver stnrtcd In that direction
!a Bread street. After the cub started
Kamlnsky shouted the Manayunk ad
dress he wanted te be tnken te through
the cab window.
Sees Kamlnsky en Street
' On reaching the Main street house In
quick time Kamlnsky told Kelly te
wait a cw minutes and he would bring
him the fare. Kelly waited for mere
than twenty minutes. Then en reflect
ing ever his passenger's mysterious wc
tlens became suspicious. He started
for the police station and accidentally
encountered Kamlnsky en the street.
Kelly demanded his money Imme
diately ahd asked Kamlnsky why he
had disappeared. Kamlnsky was still
carrying the luggage be bad brought
from the terminal.
"I thought I had enough money with
me, but found I was mistaken," he
said. By a quick move Kelly pulled
the bag and brief case from the grasp
of Kamlnsky and said he would keep
them until KamlnBky obtained the fare.
He gave Kamlnsky his address and then
drove te his office en Arch Btreet.
Suspicions Aroused
His suspicions aroused, Kelly exam
ined the baggage he was holding for
security. In the brief case he found
several geld nuggets, several vials con
taining geld dust and thc photographs
nnd plans of geld mines. He concluded
that such articles were net the prop
erty of bis late passenger and informed
detective headquarters.
Detectives Brown and Qulnn were
sent te Kamlnsky's home. They
searched the house, but could net find
him. They waited en the front steps
for niore than hnlf nn hour when Kn
minsay finally arrived. He was charged
with the robbery. At first he was In
dignant and denied thc charge. Finally
he admitted it, police say.
Was "Hard Up"
"I was hard up and needed the
money." he bald, according te Detec
tive Brown.
Asked why he had planned te pull
such a cunning job, Kamlnsky became
confused. He denied that any one else
hnd any connection with It.
At detective headquarters further
search of the luggage brought te light
letters nddressed te Mr. Cowley. It
was noticed that there was a big,
rough-looking cut in the handbag. Ka
mlnsky said he tried te open the beg
with a knife. In view of his appar
ent haste, the police believe that he
wanted te get the contents quickly and
leave the tnxicab while it was en route
te Manayunk.

mon Plcnpe Court here today, Mrs.
Sarah L. Robertsen mode emphatic de
nial that she had "framed up" the
jewel robbery nt her Dcnl Beach house
en February 18.
In a cool, even voice she told her
story of the robbery, sticking te the
version thnt she actually lest the jewels
the night of the held-up. She flatly
denied every word nnd net of a crlm
innl nature thnt has been attributed te
her by previous witnesses.
Thc charges nftnlnst her are conspir
acy and attempt te defraud. It Is al
leged by the State slie planned the
"robbery," handed the bandit an empty
hand bng and then tried te collect $5.",
000 insurance money from Lloyds of
Londen. She place a value of $ir0,

stolen. They were Insured for hnlf
that amount.

.but no jewels.
Mrs. Robertsen Confident
When Mrs. Robertsen took the stand
she smiled with confidence when she
was sworn. She was plainlx riresced
in n close-fitting suit of blue with a
small black lint.
She admitted knowing Samuel Gasn,
who has turned State s evidence and
confessed lie arranged thc held-up at
her Instigation. Bniley, self-confessed
lield-up man, she said she had
never seen before jesterdny in court.
Concerning Gnsn's testimony in
which he accused her of arranging a
fake held-up she said. "I never spoke
of such a thing te him in my life."
She web equally crephntic in denying
she had tried te get Gasn te "Mtenl"
her jewels from the New Yerk apart
ment of Mrs. Florence Pcllctrcau, as
Gasn has testified.
She absolutely dented that the jewels
found by Detective Lulsl at Mrs. Pel
letreau's after the held-up hnd ever
been insured.
A diamond horseshoe containing
fifty-five diamonds she clinrged had been
stolen from her linen closet nt her
home after the robbery during her ab
sence. Ne Suspicion of Robbery
"I Imd no suspicion there wns going
te be a robbery ut my house en Feb

Washington, Mny 27. The Soviet
d'evernment hns made one change in It
legulntlens within the last ten dayr
which Isxegardcd by the Administration
here as nn Important step toward a sys
tem which will open the way te recog
nition. It has taken off the restric
tion upon trade in farm Implement,
This Is no longer a Government monep
ely. This is fn r the Individual for
eign manufnetuur can sell directly te
the Ttiisnn uer of farm Implement.
Or thc individual Russian can buy di
rectly from the foreign manufacturer
or denier.
Information upon this ceuntry'a
policy toward Runsla. as I hnve said la
previous dispatches, comes from three
sources, nil equally Important. One of
these authorities is greatly Impressed
with this latest change nnd holds the
view that If Russia continues te move
forward ns rapidly toward a system
which makes foreign trade possible aa
he has In the Inst six months It will
net be many months before recognition
will be inevitable.
One obstacle is the Soviet monopoly
of foreign trade which new no longer
npplies te farm implements, but deea
te all ether commodities. As it Is new,
nn American with something te sell la
Russia must sell it te a Soviet com
missioner, or n Russian wishing te buy
in this country must buy through a
Soviet commissioner.
Must Iet Up en Foreign Trade
The opinion of the Administration
or nt least of some members of the Ad
ministration Is that no restoration of
trade with Russia can take place until
thc Soviet releases its held upon foreign
trade in genera!, as it lias new upon
the bu.v Ins' mill selling of farm Imple
ment", and permits commerce under the
rules with which the rest of the world
is fp'iilliur, thnt is between Individual.
Tin ether great obstacle Is the rec
ognition of American property richta
existing In Russia before the revelu- li
tlen. Thc value of this property tfc v
net great. Rut It Is held here that
no one will extend credit te Russia'
t make investments there until -tV-".
Soviet accepts the principle ferelffa- 1
pieperiy mere in sine truui tseiaurv
without compensation. The restoration
of American property there Is probably
