NABS DIAMOND THIEF
Al Homer Captured Here by Detec-
tive Sutton.

Al. Homer, charged with ehnbezzling five
diamonds worth $500, was arrested in Jack
Davidson's saloon Saturday night by De-
tective Sutton, and landed in the city
jail TO await the arrival Of Kansas City
authorities. Yesterday Officer F. W. Shulz
Of Kansas City, came down with a warrant
for Homer and Will take him back with
him just "a soon as ne can secure the
necessary requlsition papers.
When arrested, the embezzler did not
have any OF the diamonds in his posses
sion, and It is thought he disposed Of them
before reaching Wichita. The jewels tere
described as being two eardrops worth $40,
two rings and one shirt stud. After taking
him to the police station Sutton stripped
him and searched closely, but nothing
was found. Homer had a partner who
came to this city with him and each of
them bought new suits here and had plenty
of money to spend The pay sr deserted
Homer here.
Officer Shulz says the jewelry was Sc
cured in Kansas City from a man who
runs a pRwn shop in connection with his
tewelry establishment, and that these IN
redeemed diamonds were put in the hands
of such fellows as Homer to work off.
Their method was 10 visit saloons. gam
bling houses. theaters etc, and exhibit
the diamonds and endeavor to sell them.
Homer was given these six Jewels. giving
his receipt for them He never went back
and consequently his arrest in this city.
He is said to be a very smooth man with
precious metals, and his appearance il one
Of his good qualities as salesman He
is an opium f1end, and the thin, pale fea-
lures and general makeup Of the man
tends to impress people that the diamonds
are stolen ones and they readily nab them,
on this account mort than for any other
reason. It is said such fellows as Homer
often sell a diamond IN such places as he
visits, for really more than it is worth.
officer Shulz will remain here two or
three days waiting for requisition papers,
as Homer refuses to go without them.
