8 1 THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA.; JANtJAltY 21,' 1879. Diamond Stealing. A. few day since a Bt. Louis reporter pent mi entire afternoon la the private office of a well-kriowo Fourth street dia mond dealer, and listened with rapt atton lion to reminiscences and traditions of diamond robberies, successful and attempt ed. ; 'Beginning lieie in. Kt. Louis, for In atanoe," said the dealer, "I remember a ease that, while not strictly speaking a robbery, bad remarkable features. I sold a soltaire ring for $500 to a lady living In Ijuoas place. About a year afterward a Man walked into my place, and throwing down a ring, asked me whnt it was worth. I at once recognized It as the one I hud old, and I questioned the man very closely, lie claimed to have oome by it honestly. I talked for a long time, and at last told my clerk to go and get a policeman. "Before the clerk got out of the store, the man let down completely, and told me that he was a plumber ; that three months fen fore he had been called to a bouse In bnoas plaoe to fix a water pipe which, was stopped up. He found the ring In the pipe aaid nothing about It, and waited for three months to give the loss time to blow over. Strange that he should come to my place, the only one lu the city where the ring would be recognized. He saw he was found out, made the best of the job, re turned the ring, and secured a reward of 1200." Oue day a respectable looking gentleman .With a young lady, to all appearauce bis wife, came to the diamond dealer's place and spent several hours looking at dia monds. One cross and eari lugs, valued at f$,Q(J0, seemed to strike the youug wife's - ye. The husband demurred at the price. The wife playfully coaxed him to buy. "Well, well, I will think about it," said he, aa they departed without buying. The next day the woman drove up in a OAipe, and said : ''My husband desires to see those diamonds again. I think he will buy. He is sick in bed, and will you go to Hie Southern with me, or send a clerk V" Warned by a previous bitter experience, involving a loss of f 1,000, the dealer did not send a clerk but went himself. The eonple bad a suite of parlors on the second floor. The young lady was quite engaging. Her husband was sleeping. Would the gentleman wait a few moments? He would. The lady was unusually interesting, and, always susceptible to tho charming woman, 'the time passed agreable to the diamond dealer. The young lady got up and enter ed the inner apartment, but returned im mediately with the announcement that her husband was awake. With the sweetest affectation of enthusiasm she picked up the case containing the jewels, and with "Let me show them to my husband," disappear ed within. The door seemed accidentally to blow ajiut. The diamond merchant jumped up, and as he did so he heard a key turn in the lack. He at once recognized what was up and sprang to the door opening to the hall. He found it locked. He was a prisoner. The solid door mocked him. He was dos perate. In an instant be drew his revolver, placed it to the lock, fired, it was shattered and the door swung open to his touch, bike a madman he tore along the halls, down the stairs, through the rotunda, and around to the ladies' entrance, just as a lady in a carriage gave the order, "Xelay Depot, East St. Louis." He leaned into the window of the car riage and said, "Will your husband take the diamonds, madam?" 6he gave him one long, searching look, guletly said. "The price is too large, and than they are such bard things to keep ;' produced the case from the recesses of her muff and banded it to him, saying, "I should have been quicker." Spyer looked at the diamonds, saw that tbey were all right and bade the young woman good-day. Within the hour she and her confederate had left the hotel. Since then the dealer baa never let a diamond leave his band for more than two seconds. The idea is just this : Two smart theives can afford to work a couple of years 4o make a haul of f 10, 000. Take, for .instance, the traveling diamond merchant who carry with them from twenty to sixty -thousand dollars worth of gems. The chances are that no one of them ever leaves Haw York without be is shadowed by aome adroit thief, who lives In the same hotel with bim, rides on the same train, sleeps in the same Pullman, rides in the omnibus from the depot, waiting, watch ing for a chance to possess himself of the no all satchel or case that is the burden of the drummers life. A Plucky Grocer. Cincinnati, Jan. 20. For some time Robert H. Murphy, ' a grooer on Graud River avenue, Detroit, suspected that burglars had been attempting to enter bis atore. Last night be concealed himself under a counter and awaited events. lie soon beard the burglar enter the rear door, by means of a false key, and saw bim light a dark lantern and fill a bag with a lot of canned fruit and atart for the door. Mur phy Intercepted bim and a desperate strug gle ensued. Finally Murphy seized an iron wedge and struck the burglar several savage blows upon the bead, felling him to the floor. The follow regained hla feet, and having choked Murphy Into a state of insensibility escaped. An hour later a man giving the name of James Ellis applied at a polloe station for medical attention, ty ing he had been waylaid and beaten by robbers. Murphy, regaining hi conscious ness, proceeded to the same station house where be saw Ellis, and identified him as the burglar. The latter admitted the fact, and said that fear lest he should die unless bis wounds were dressed prompted bim to go to the station house. His skull Is frac tured, and his head cut In a shocking man ner. It Is thought he cannot live. ' The Greatest Blessing.
