Philip Arnold in the Great Dia.r
nond Suit. Aslll
We understand thai the great diamond
case Of Lontys Arnold, Of Elizahelhtown,
has developed another item quite charac-
teristic Of the whole affair. The story, as
it was told to us by passenger on tho
train last night, IS quite an interesting
chapter in the history Of tho case. Lent
and other Californians interested in the
matter had been stayinga the Gait House
since shortly after the suitwas entered,
but il seems that Arnold had kept himself
in hiding and could not be found to res
ceiyo tho legal notice issued by the court
and his wife had answered the petition
filed by the Californisns. 1t being civil
suit, there could DO no forcible entry OK
tho officers into Arnolds house to serve
tho writ on him; and it is said that II
there had been it would have failed 10 ind
him, az he was entertaining himself ~
neighborhood on Nolin creek, into which
the eninions OF the law" either did not
like to venture or were convinced that 10
would DO Of no use.
In the meantime there was consderanie
talk OF compromise between the parties
but some two weeks or more ago the CALI
fornians went Tor at least started) back
TO the Pacific coast. Not long afterwards
o proposition for compromise was for
warded after them hut tho trial came on,
and still Arnold had not becn subjected
to the personal service Of notice uspat IN
such cases. 1t seems, however, that ~
had been posted as TO the movements o.
his adyersaries, and, thinking himself
safe, no had returned 70 his home, but
kept himself very closely housed. \ WAS
important that personal ssrv ice should 90

ment. Besides this advantage, ifhe Should
