that it was the people of the Fifth who
were to blame.
This kind of talk went on for some
time, winding up with a sort of unani-

that the mayor couldn't get a vote of
confidence from the committee, and
then the members got back 70 the mat

Mr.. Kimbaf was evidently hampered
in his conversation by the presence of

express his desires. He suggested that
it would be proper thing for the mem

where they could express their opinions

THE DESIO DIAMOND THIEF.
Detectives Believe the Robbery Was
Done by Ed. whalen, Alias Wall.


Inspector Hollinberger was yesterday
notified of the arrest in New York of Ed
WhaIen, alias Wall, notorious diamond
thief, who is supposed 10 be one OF the
men who entered the jewelry store of
Gerome Desio, on + street, about three
months ago. and stole tray of diamonds
Vaiued at about $4,000.
The job was one OF the sort Whalen is
an expert in performing, and the police,
after investigating the robbery, believed
Whalen Was one OF the men, who from his
past record, might have been guilty of
this crime. Accordingly, information was
sent out TO the police Of all the principal
cities to arrest Whalen on suspicion, and
the local detectives have since been en-
deavorjnG to ascertain whether or not he
was in the city at the time the robbery was
committed.
Whalen was arrested Sunday and has
been identified by a New York jeweIer
as the man who committed a similar rob
berry i'll that city last December, when the
merchant lost a large quantity OF valuable
stones. Whalen's photograph has been in
the rogue's gallery for number OF years,
but the latest picture which the local po-
lice have. was taken in 1891, and it is
thought that his appearance has materially
changed since that time
Mr Desio yesterday afternoon called at
police headquarters and was shown the
photograph hy Inspector Holiinberger
He was not able TO positively identify
it as that of the man who was in his store
when the gems were stolen, but " III go TO
