TRAILING A BIG DIAMOND.
Recovery of IL Gem Stolen in ChicnSo

Cincinnati, o.. Oct. lO.-What is known in
police circles as the ''Simper diamond,
which was stolen from the jewelry store
of the Simper Bros. on Vine street. over
five years ago, will probably be turned
up by the police in a few days. Al any
rate. the detectives are working on clue
which promises to end in the recovery OF
the big yellow cracked gem.
The man who gave the Information 10

the City Sports Burlesque Company.

mont. He went out, leaving his room
mate to take a bath. During the inter-
mission someone sneakeds in the room and
stole the diamond, case and all. With the
supposed aid of a transfer wagon. 1t was
taken to the depot and shipped away.
Tom told the police. but they were never
able TO get on the trail
y few months later Howard Black, who
drives moving van AMI lives on Plum
street, near George, showed up ut the Sim
near Seventh. with a big yellow. oblong
cracked diamond stud. lie said that it had
been given him by colored boy who was
employed as Il bellboy in n Chicago hotel
He took II for board bill. George Sim
per made trade and obtained possession
of the stud and placed il in the show WIN
dow. The night of February H. 1892 was
mean, bitter and cold. Ed Simper went to
the Grand opera house and left his
brother George in charge of the store.
Along about 8 o'clock there was a crashing
of glass at Seventh and Vine streets and
two men were seen running down Seventh
street They escaped. and investigation
showed that the thieves had thrown a
brick through the window and had stolen
five diamonds. including the big, yellow,
oblong, cracked stud. The police were no.
titled, but the stone was never recovered.
The next year, when Miacos show
played at the Peoples theater, George
Simper called on Miaco and said he thought
he could turn up the stud stolen from him
in Chicago. Miaco said he would give $3.50
to get it. Smper went away and every
year after that just as sure as Miaco came
to town he would see Simper, who would
talk about getting the stone for him. Last
week was no exception, and Miaco came
to- the conclusion that Simper really knew
where the stud was and was holding out
for more money. Miaco got tired of talking
about ii. SO he called In Detectives Grim
and McDermott, who are trying to run
down that ton of yellow, oblong, cracked
diamond.
