HAVE A SLIGHT CLUE.
Arrest in Chicago of Man Who May be
Cedar Rapids Diamond Thief.

| Special to Times Republican.
| Cedar Rapids. Aug. 27.-The police
are now in possession of clue that
may possibly shed some light on the
diamond mystery that has been a puz-
zle as deep and unsolvable as Chinese
enigma. Since the disappearance OF
SO, 900 worth of diamond rings from the
iewelry store of A. C. Taylor & Son
last Saturday the matter has been in
quilted in dark mystery and the sparkle
of the missing gems has not been visible
to anyone except the diamond litter who
committed the theft and to use the
vernacular he is "out of sight"
Even now the clue is very intan-
gible and Indefinite, but it is hoped
that it may lead to the solving of the
mystery. At any rate 1t Will en-
tighten some one as TO who has COM
mitted some certain jewelry store rob-
berry as the suspect has confessed that
he has robbed jewelry store and he
has some watches in his possession
as evidences of his acts of plundering.
The suspect was arrested in Chicago
last Sunday On being searched by the
police in that city three watches were
found on his person. A confession fol-
lowed in which he stated that he had
robbed a jewelry store last Friday. but
the scene of his operations was not di-
yulged Neither were there any dia-
monds found in his possession. But
this fact does not entirely free him
from suspicion as a diamond thief who
is experienced in his line, does not car
ry stolen gems about him. After Il
robbery is committed the booty is plac-
ed in fence" or repository for secure
keeping.
The clue in this case is very in
definite but the police are determined
to satisfy themselves as to whether
or not this suspect was involved in
the Taylor robbery, and the party un-
der suspicion is to be brought here
this afternoon from Chicago.
