A former king’s courier, William F. Macartney, was sentenced at the Old Bailey this week to nine months in the second division for an unsuccessful raid on a window containing nearly $85,000 worth of jewelry, the property of Garrard & Co., the Albemarle St. jewelers. Macartney denied that he smashed the plate glass window in an attempt to get at the gems. He said he ran after the culprit along with other people on the sidewalk and that in the general scramble he was held and turned over to the police, the guilty party getting away. During the war he was governor of an island in the Aegean Sea.
