GEM THEFT CASE READY FOR JURY Two Women Held in New York in $350,000 Robbery of D. C. Matron. New York authorities were ready today to go to the grand jury with the Bugher gem theft case, Chief of De tectives B. W. Thompson announced here. Two women are held in New York— Agnes Olsen Johnson, charged with receiving stolen property in connec tion with the theft of a $50,000 col lection from Mrs. Frederick H. Bugher, 1785 Massachusetts avenue, and Anna Hansen, also known as Isabelle Hutt, allegedly the intended recipient of a $300,000 lot stolen from the Washing ton society matron. Victim Identifies Gems. The victim of the robbery and her eon, Frederick McLean Bugher, iden tified the Jewelry at headquarters in New York yesterday. The $300,000 collection was returned to Mrs. Bugher, but the rest was held as evidence, the Associated Press said. Police here assumed that the Bughers and Detective Sergt. Joseph W. Shi mon would be witnesses at the grand jury hearing, which was scheduled to start at 11 a.in. Meanwhile, Thompson and his aides, who have worked unceasingly on the case since it broke Friday afternoon, have renewed their questioning of John Morcischeck, Bugher butler, re puted “brains” of the robbery. Says He Found Genu. Morcischeck sticks to the story that he found the $300,000 jewels in a hall way of the fashionable Bugher apart ment and shipped them to New York, investigators say, but he denies any connection with the smaller lot. It developed today, too, that after the $300,000 robbery was reported, Mrs. Bugher, who knew nothing of the theft of the $50,000 in jewels until New York police found them, had thought that still another collection, valued at $20,000, had been taken from her home. These were found later, how ever, according to Thompson. Strike (Continued From First Page.) After the six cars penetrated the line a voice from the sound truck shouted: “Tomorrow well have a real picket line, and nobody will ge into the plant” At the Fleetwood unit of Cadillac there was no violence as about 200 employes of the Temstedt division, part of the Fleetwood plant, went back to work. No picket line was estab lished there. The General Motors strike extended from coast to coast today for the first time as the corporation completed plans to return 39,900 of its more than 125,000 Idle employes to work tomor row. • • About the time General Motors offi cials here announced the recalling of workers to 10 plants in Michigan and Indiana a disturbance in which three persons were hurt and property was damaged occurred last night at An derson, Ind., where two subsidiaries are closed. Joseph Carney. Anderson police chief, said a crowd of about 2,000 per sons prevented the United Automo bile Workers of America, which called the strikes, from holding a meeting In the Madison County court house. Union Organizers Injured. Police Chief Carney said that the demonstrators threw eggs and there were numerous fist fights. Three union organizers — Perry Warrum, Frank Schutz and Clark Cramer— were hurt, Carney said, but did not require hospital treatment. From the court house part of the crowd went to the union headquarters and, the police chief said, some fur nishings were ruined and office rec ords destroyed. The police escorted about 20 persons from the headquar ters to jail for safe keeping, Carney added. Next demonstrators burned a pick ets’ tent outside the Guide Lamp plant, a General Motors subsidiary where a strike Is In progress. “Sit down” strikers who occupied the LEXINGTON WINS !>• stopped at all tha batter Nm Tor* hotels, butghramathaLaxiatton r» triad all tha batter Maw York hotels, but ft* Lndngtm wins with sate No woodar this famous hotel wins now Mends •very day.
