JAEHNE'S APPETITE.

The Doodle Alder mans Diamond-swal-
lowing Feat, as Told by Detectires.
lZiska, In Chicago Tribune.l
Besides afording glirnpses of UNDER
ground political life in New York. Alder
man Jaehne's trial let in a little light upon
his own ansccedeiits. While on the wit
ness stand he was closely questioned con-
cerning his association with well-known
thieves in diamond robheries in Europe
eight OF nine years ago. He denied in
toto all insinuations of thcft, but adl
mitted that he was in company with the
crooks, and that he came back with one of
them via Canada. The story, as told by
detectives, who claim 10 have it from
ono of the crooks themselv is in
teresting. Curtin and Stephens, we'll
known as diamond thieves, went
to Europe on business tour.
They visited the best jewelry stores and
priced unset diamonds. With dozen or
twenty jewels before them it was an easy
matter to substitute an inferior stone for
a superior one. Some times a paste stone
took the place of genuine solitaire, and
again a real two-carat jewel was slyly ex-
changed for one of greater weight. On
leaving the store the stolen diamonds were
passed to Jaehne, who stood on the side
Walk near the door. He sauntered away
in one direction and his pals in another.
They were all dressed in the best of taste
and had the airs and manners of English
gentlemen. They rarely put up at the
same hotel, and never allowed themselves
to be seen together in public. The trio
worked the game in many Continental Cit
les with great profit. Finally they landed in
Cologne. Here they made rich strike and
secured tickets for London. While Curtin
and Stephens were eating lunch at a ho:eI
they saw gathering around the door.
Fearing that they were suspected, and
knowing that Jaehne was in the hotel,
they were in a quandary as to what to do
with tho plunder. A minute afterwards
Curtin met Jaehne on an upper stairway.
Have you got the boodle?" he asked.
"Yes, safe," was the response.
s'Where are the stones!n Curtin asked.
Here" said Jaehne, holding out hand
full of diamonds.
Swallow 'ein. Hang you, swallow 'em,
quick, or we are lostw
The jewels were promptly swallowed.
1t turned cut to be false alarm, but
Jaehne's pals kept close watch upon him
until he arrived in London. The precious
stones werc finally recovered
