Bold Diamond Robbery.
New YORK, November 30th-A. Nj
| big diamond robbery was committed yes
terday afternoon in Johnston's Bower,
, jewelry store. Its audacity is only les
wonderful than the fact of its entire sue
cess. The store at $50 Bowery is an old
established and well-known institution
Between the two long cases that covered tn
counters is a space allotted to customers
who can thus stand between the display
Of diamonds and fine jewelry on on
side, and silver plate and large wares Oh
the other. AT half-past five a young maj
presented himself at the jewelry counter
His appearance justified the interest he a
once expressed in the matter of diamont
rings. The salesman who attended upol
him set a tray of rings befor
him without hesitation, and looked hin
over, as matter of habit. As he did s.
the stranger, who was closely examining
some rings, suddenly seized the ira,
and, throwing open the street door
dashed out. The long counters open
ing was well away from the door
and the clerk had to run around the gap t
| get out but he followed in pursuit of th,
daring thief The latter had.a good start
and swung out of the crowded Bowery int,
Broome street. In spite of all inquiries, tn
detectives and Bowery storekeepers did no
trace the thief beyond the corner of Eliza
beth and Broome streets. The rings wer
quite firmly fixed in the tray, and none 0
them were lost in the run.
