Whitaker especially prized the watch, which was a wedding gift from Mr. Whitaker more than 25 years ago. The watch is of somewhat peculair design, bearing a wreath of flowers in colored gold on the back and the initials, S. L. W.

Mrs. Whitaker stated tonight that she greatly hoped for the recovery of the watch not only for its actual value, but because she prizes it for association's sake.
