She had been employed as Mrs. Holley's private maid until she left in December to be married. Two weeks afterward Mrs. Holley missed her silverware from a closet. She said that none but the maid knew where she kept the key and swore out a warrant for her arrest and a search warrant.

Mrs. Saffron protested her innocence to the probation officer, Miss Elsie Tiemann, but was locked up from 3 to 9 p. m., when her husband discovered her whereabouts. She was then paroled in his custody and a week later was discharged in the Greenwich Borough court.

Mrs. Holley's property has been attached by Sheriff Ladrigan.
