SPLITTING DIAMONDS

Dealer In London.
Hatton Garden (the great diamond
district OF London) had quite an I'M
pleasant experience last year. All the
dealers lost a great number of stones.
and they couldn't understand how the
leakage occurred until about Christ
mas. After sorting and sizing up they
would put the stones in the usual par
cells with the weight marked. When
they sold the parcels they would find
that the weight had decreased and
that ono or two of the stones had van

never let the stuff 20 out Of their sight
and who had no assistants. suffered rs
well as the others, and for months 1t
remained mystery Of the deepest
kind. Every body was afraid OF every
body else; some quit coming to the
diamond exchange. but whether they
came or not their losses went on just
the same. At last almost by accident
the mystery was solved, and tho solu-
ton was simple enough.
There was a small dealer who lived
in Clerkedwell. He wore glasses and
protested to be very short-sighted.
This gentleman bought sparingly last
year. but he did q tremendous amour,
Of going around and examining. Al
employee Of a large Hatton Garden
firm became suspicious of this small
dealer and had talk with his en-
plOyers. The next time the eye
glasses came in. before the safe was
opened and any thing handed out. two
men were posted where they could
watch every movement Of the visitor.
He opened a paper Of stones (about
II carats apiece). with ninety-six
stones in the parcel. He put them
quite close to his eyes and then low.

damp them.

dealers do this when examining a par
eel, as any flaws or faults can be better
observed as the moisture evaporates
After damping them he looked
again, handed them back. made an
offer (Which he knew would not be
accepted). and was going away. The
two men watching had not seen him dc
any thing suspicious, but still he wa.
kept in conversation while the parce!
he had just handled was taken into the
private Office and weighed. It was
found about two and one-half carats
short. Two OF the stones had some
how disappeared. There was a con-
sultation and it was decided that he
had them in his mouth. One of the
men was instructed to get behind
him and strike suddenly at the
back OF his head while he
was talking. This was done, and
Mr. Eyeglasses spit out the II carat
stones. He was bounced upon and
was given the choice OF restitution Of
all former losses or arrest He chose
the former and. having large sum in
Bank Of England notes in his side
pocket. he settled the score. He was
then allowed to 60. The expectora
ton incident got around the next day,
when rush was made for his place o.

manned out until l left London. He
