LONG BRANCH, N.J., Feb. 22. – Mrs. Sarah L. Robertson, who last Saturday night reported to the police that a dinner party at her bungalow had been held up and jewels valued at $50,000 taken from her, was arrested today, charged with conspiracy in causing the holdup.

A few hours earlier the robbery had been branded as a “fake” by a youth named John Baily who told the police he had been hires by Mrs/ Robertson to enter the bungalow and pretend to steal the jewels. In reality, he said, he got nothing but a bag filled with tissue paper. He said Mrs. Robertson paid him $1000 to stage the holdup.
