JEWEL THIEF SENTENCED. NEW YORK. June 22 - James E. Foye, former hotel clerk, who was convicted last week of the theft of $350,000 worth of jewels from Mrs. Regina V. G. Millhiser, a wealthy widow residing at the Hotel Biltmore, in May, 1919, was sentenced today to fifteen years in Sing Sing. Foye has had considerable time in which to recover $25,000 worth of the jewels still missing, but has not done so, the judge said in sentencing him.
