81. LOUIS DETECTIVE CAPTURES A PULLMAN
PALACES CAR PORTER WITH RISroRI'S LOST
JEWELS.
The st. Louis Republican of yes.
terday says: While the Ristori troupe
were en- route from Indisnapo-
lis to st. Louis on last Saturday night,
they were robbed of five beautiful soli-
taire diamonds, two of which were sleeve
buttons, and three were sbirt-studs. The
jewels disappeared while they were in the
sleeping-ca and all efforts To discover any
trace OF them were Intellectual. The troupe
gave them up as lost, and probsly never ex-
pected to hear from them again. Yesterday
afternoon Detectives O'Neil and Stiles, b.
some means, the nature of which
M ~ never be known to ye stupid citizens,
obtained information that there was a negro
valuable diamonds. They Immediately
laid themselves out to bring that man
down. After much tramping and watching
they collared him on the corner of Third
street and Washington avenue, and on
searching him, found that he had The
diamonds yet in his possession. The
fellow first explained that he had won
the beauties while gambling in New York.
| This stuck in the detectives throats and re-
| fused to go down. He then said that a friend
of his in Cheyenne had given them to him
to pawn here. This statement was likewise
obstinate. He finally stated that he was
porter of the car on the Vandalia road in
which the Ristori troupe came TO this city,
and that he seized upon an opportunity
to make away with the gems. This
seemed more probable, and although
the detectives had not been notified of the
loss by the troupe, they accepted the state
ment as the true one. While they were
taking the fellow, who by the way is quite
intelligent, down stairs 10 the calaboose a.
the Four Courts. he offered to give then
$500 piece If they would give him an op
up. The diamonds, which are worth sbou
5000, are at the Four Courts, and Ristor
n-~ been telegraphed in regard to the cap
ture.
