THE TABOR DIAMONDS.
Trouble Over Disposing of the
Famous Precious Gems.
(fTom the Denver NcWs.l

The famous Tabor diamonds. including
the wonderful jewel worn by Queen isa-
bella Of Spain, may soon see the light of
day once more To shine and be admired
outside of the four iron walls of their
prison in the vaults of the First National
Bank They are involved i'm litigation,
begun yesterday, in which are Interested
Hermann Powell. Mrs. Elizabeth Tabor.
widow of ex-senator II. A. W. Tabor, the
First National Bank, and several COmpa-
MES mining, real estate, and amusement,
which bear the name of Tabor.
In 1898 Senator Tabor executed "a note
for SlH5u9 to Mr.. Powell, and gave as a
pledge the famous Isabella diamond, dIa-
mond car-drops and studs. three unset
diamonds, bracelets, an emerald tail and
"a ruby tongue, the collection being a no.
table one. 1t was put in the vaults of
the bank bending the redemption Of the
pledge.
The note was never paid. Including the
interest IL now amounts To- 81 .69l 2G Mr..
Powell has a claim for this amount, al
lowed by the county court. In the dis
trict court he has filed suit demanding
the fewery and "A deficiency judgment
against the Tabor estate. and the nu-
merous companies which endorsed the
note.
The foreclosure Of the diamonds would
ordina rily bc by public sale. This is not
desired 10y Mr.. Powell BY law he would
not bc permitted to bid and the diamonds
must be sacrificed. Accordingly he asks
the court to appoint commissioner To
sell the diamonds and 10 permit him To
bid.
Powell also SAYS that even should the
diamonds bring all they are worth there
would not be sufficient money to cancel
the debt. and he therefore demands de-
ticiency Judgment against the Tabor COM
paucS.
Mrs Tabor claims the diamonds as ex-
ccutriX of the estate. saying that the
complainant is without equity i'm the cir
cumstances and the court has no juris-
diction. In the county court Mrs Tabor
obtained permission To prosecute the old
suit of Senator Tabor against the Bank
Of LeadVille FOR the return of certain
mining properties.
