DAMPING A DIAMOND.
The Trick By Which Many . Precious stone

The Trick By Which Many . Precious stone
Has Been Stolen.
''Damping diamond" is the peculiar
name for process in robbery which
thieves sometimes adopt 1t is popular
when some rascal is without partners
and obliged to work alone. By reason
OF the time the thief is to remain in the
presence Of his victim and the chance
thus given to become acquainted with
his looks, the rogue usually assumes
some disguise. This will be by DON
ming gray wig, bringing his eyes to a
state of weak and watery Inflammation
with cinnamon or pepper, and the as
sumption of a large pair of goggles in
consequence. In addition he will pull
on boot with a six-inch cork sole,
grasp a cane. bend his back. totter when
he walks and have all the indicia of a
crippled old man. In this guise he will
drive up to some downtown jewelers.
On entering the store his wants are
found to be an unset diamond, or per-
haps pair of them. They must COM
pare with one which he has with him.
as they are intended to be disposed of
in set as present to his we'll beloved
daughter.
The diamond the thief exposes is fair
and large-as large as he can get He
insists on making the comparison him.
SELF He grows irascible, perchance,
and orders the tradesman to bring out
all of his gems while he looks them
over. To humor one who is so evidently
determined to become desirable Gus
toner, becomes the purpose of the
jewelers. life. He flies about
alacrious and elate He spreads
before the weak optics of his
goggled-eyed inquirer an array of loose
diamonds probably on background of
black velvet to demonstrate and en-
phasize their brilliancy. This irritable
old diamond hunter is obliged to get his
nose quite close to them. His eyes are
weak, and so to see the gems he perfOrce
has almost to bury his nose in them.
While so engaged, and while the jeweler
is standing over them. he picks up one,
possibly two, with a quick dab of his
tongue. This done. he complains that
his eyes are not equal to making the
selection and concludes to bring his
daughtsr. To further delude the
merchant, he may arrange to have that
gentleman bring the diamonds to his
house for the lady to look over. To this
end he gives him a card naming some
aristocratic residence street Then he
enters his carriage and is driven away.
If the thief ever gets out with the dia
monds he has ''damped" they are gone;
for while the merchant may miss them
at once and feel morally certain the old
cripple is his man, he can not prove it.
One merchant who had lost several
diamonds to the same man in this man
at last doctored some gems with pow
erful drug; so strong, in truth, that the

the operator to choke and gag. He
