! NAB JEWEL ROBBERY SUSPECT NEW YORK, N. Y., May 17.— A sixth suspect, Robert C. Nelson, 65, was under arrest in New York City yesterday in connection with the 25,000 Breyer jewel robbery in Philadelphia. Nelson declared he bought the ,500 in unset gems found in his office at the Jewelers Exchange but was unaware that they were part of the loot taken from Mrs. Henry W. Breyer, Jr., and her mother-in-law, in Philadelphia last February 28 by four gunmen who leaped aboard their car. Nelson was arrested by Detective Mary Shanley, New Yorks only plainclothes policewoman, who previously arrested five other suspects by posing as a gem dealer.
