AFTER DIAMONDS.
The Rarity of This Kind
of Robbery.
Aftermath of thel Recent Wholesale
Acknowledgment Lees Tells
His Experience.

The wholesale diamond robberies on
Friday formed the m ain topic of converse
ton in police circles yesterday. Strange
as it may seem there have been but few
diamond robberies in this city and these
two the only successful ones.
When this fact was called to Captain Lees
attention by CALL reporter yesterday
the shrewd old detective had to scratch
his head and think few minutes before
he could remember the particulars OF any
OF the old robberies of this character.
Why" said he, "thera have been no

Where the jewellers have been as lucky as
IN TINS city. During all of my experience

ne only one of any Importance was
ABOUT eighteen months ago. A boy was
carrying small jewel box, that contained
lot OF diamonds, to the Safe Deposit
building. from wholesale store in the
johnson block on Suffer street. when a
roughly dressed man knocked the little
fellow down and made off with the box.
Fortunately the little fellow was not
stunned, and quicker than flash he was
on his feet and after the thief. He yelled
at the top of his voice. and in few sec.
onds had attracted crowd and the chase
was so lively that the thief became fright
ened and dropped the box. The boy was
30 close to bis heels that he had the box
III bis arms almost before it reached the
ground. The yorngs;er cooly turned on
his heel ana walked to the Safe Deposit
building and disposed of his treasure as if
nothing had happened.
The police made every possible effort to
capture the bold thief. but we never got
any trace of him; but he must have left
town, Tor the boy had such a good look at
MIN that he would have identified him had
he remained here
The other diamond robbery took place
In 1881, Dut II was bungling affair, and
notwithstanding the fact that we caught the
thief In chicago. we did not think it worth
while putting the State to the expense of
bringing him back. This thief was a Jew
eler named Max Schauz, and he entered
Lewis jewelry-store and asked to look at
some diamond rings. He grabbed a small
diamond and ran out of the store as fast
be could 60. The streets were crowded
with people, but he made good his escape,
and we had to follow him to Chicago.
While both of the rObberies of yester-

day were worked on plans adopted by
crooks years ago they were as bold as any
I ever heard Of. The pepper trick is as old
as the hills and has been worked by the
best-known crooks in almost every city in
the United States. While the men who
fessonals they are ali-round petty larceny
thieves, and we have had to take both OF
them in hand more than once. There is
no doubt about their being the right par
ties. and we will have no trouble in con-
vieting Them"
The police have done good work in the
pepper-iiamoDd robbery at A. Huber's
jewelry-store. 80 Third street, on the night
before last.
The particulars of the robbery and the
capture of one of the men were given in

Harry Block. alias j. d. Powers, was not
captured until 3 O'clock yesterday morn

him up at once.
