A DESPERATE DEED.
Jesse Waterman Robbed of a Box
of Diamonds.

An attempt WAS made yesterday morning
to commit one of the boldest robberies
which has been heard of for many months
a man was knocked down in a passageway
at l04 Kearny street, and box containing
eco worth of diamonds was taken from
him while hundreds of people were passing
by on the street within a few feet Of where
the crime was being perpetrated, as the
hour was 9:l5 o'clock in the morning, when
that thoroughfare is crowded with pedes-
TRANS.
The bold highwaymen, for it was learned
that two were concerned in the deed, es-
capped by their abilities as sprinters, but the
valuables contained in the box we're recov-
cred by the timely aid of A. F. Andrews,
who gave such close chase to the thief that
he was compelled to drop the box to make
his escape. The diamonds were the prop
erty of NJ. Schusslar & Co., wholesale Jew
elers on the second floor of the number
mentioned on Kearny street, and were be-
ing brought from the Safe Deposit Com
pany's vaults on Montgomery street, where
they are placed every night
As the clerk, Jesse Waterman, stepppd
into the passageway he noticed we'll
dressed man standing by the door and AL
most Immediately afterward another at the
head of the stairway. The door closed after
he entered, and the next moment be was
struck from behind, being rendered almost
senseless by the blow. Then the box was
snatched from him. He gave chase, how
ever, to the thief, who ran north on Kearny
street, turned into an alleyway between
Post and Suffer streets, passed through into
Lick alley, then north across Suffer street
into Trinity street. to Bush, and then up
Bush street.
Waterman followed, crying stop thief"
As the thief passed the Bush-street Theater
a. +. Andrews joined the pursuit, and was
almost within reaching distance of the fugi-
tive. who. perceiving the closeness of the
pursuer, dropped the box and made his es-
cape. Andrews secured the box and turned
1t over to the clerk. Detective Coffey was
placed in charge of the case. but so far has
been unable to find a cew to the thieves.
The deed was evidently planned before
hand, and all that prevented its successful
accomplishment was that Waterman was
not rendered unconscious by the blow given
from behind.
