Several Detectives on tho Hunt for q Thief
They say IL Amateur.
Several detectives have been working on
mysterious diamond robbery which occurred
early last week in the Victoria Hotel. Mrs. 1.
A. Jordan Of Atlanta, sister Of Senator A. H.
ColIuitt OF Georgia, Is the victim.
On Monday afternoon OF last week Mrs.
Jordan went out OF her room after looking one
OF her trunks. in the lid OF which was $4,000
worth OF jewelry including diamond brooch
and a number OF very valuable rings. She did
not go to the trunk again until Tuesday morn
ing and when she mn unlocked it the
able article taken WAS n star-shaIed
diamond brooch. Tho thief hadn't made q
thorough search Of the trunk or he would
have found nearly $4,000 worth OF jewery In
the bottom OF the trunk. besides several
hundred dollars In bank notes.
This fact leads the detectives to think that
the work wasn't done by professional. The
hotel people do not suspect any of their en-
ployees and think that the robbery NAV be
traced in time to the same person who robbed
one Of the guests OF the Altemarle two weeks
ago OF valuable jewerv.
Two Of Inspector Byrnes's men are working
on the case. besides two private detectives
hired by the hotel Senator Colluitt has also
asked Superintendent Campbell OF Brooklyn
to lend hand in ferreting out the thieves.
