New York, Dec. 29.-One of the most
deliberate and prearranged plans for plum
dering the wholesale diamond merchants
on Maiden Lane was nnearthed late Satur-
day night when several deputy sheriffs
made descent on the jewelrY store at $50
Eighth avenue and seized everything of
value in the place. The store was owned
BY Albert John. who has disappeared with
thu sntire stock of the establishment, val
ned at $4,000. The scheme was SO sue
ceesful that at least dozen downtown
diamond brokers and jewelers. were victim
ixsd and the ringleader in the plot has
made good his escape. The defaul.ing
/ tradesman left his wife penniless. Before
4 leaving for parts unknown he persuaded
3 her 70 give him the few hundred dollars she
4 had saved.
In tbs face Of the man. previous unsayory
Teput2tion, he managed to work 80 upon

bank account and remunerativs trade that

Sing Ill the jewelry and diamonds he
wanted on credit. One of the victims who
