DIAMONDS DILEMMA.

He Got Both His Accounts and His
Drinks Badly Mixed.
Harry Diamond was tried in the Police
Court yesterday upon two charges, one
for having obtained goods under false
pretenses and the other for petty larceny.
He was arrested on the former COM
plant by a tailor named Griffith. of
whom he obtained a suit of clothes for
which he was to pay S3s. He secured the
clothes, Griffith says. by representing
that he was partner in the liquor house
OF y. j. DAMS at DID j street.
The testimony in regard to his connec-
ton with DAMS and as to his statements
TO the tailor was conflicting, and the case
was taken under advisement by the
court.
The charge of petty larceny was brought
by DAMS, and he swore that Diamond
took money from his till and goods from
his shelves, and upon this charge the
young man was found guilty.
The evidence showed that Diamond
was employed by Danis and that he haa
$50 on deposit with his employer-to in
sure his good behavior.
1t was not clear why DAMS repaid him
this money and then charged him with
being short in his accounts and having
taken liquors. The whole affair was a
mixed transaction between Diamond, his
employer and his tailor. The former
evidently mixed his drinks, too, for his
employer swore that Diamond was drunk
four times i'll the eight days he was en-
ployed at the liquor emporium.
