pecting clerk having no idea OF the robbery until Mr.

discovery. The man under arrest, giving his name

clerk, who further states that from the time these
two men left up the time Of the coming in OF Mr..

however that there are witnesses ready to testify
that he has since offered some OF the missing dia
monds for sale; and the presumption Is that me hne
clothes he had on when arrested and gold watch and
chain found in his possession are part proceeds OF
the sale OF some of the diamonds. The officers who
effected his arrest believe they are on track OF nis
confederate. The affidavit OF Mr.. Hener gives thlr
