Belgian paving block last night and
$4,000 worth Of diamonds were sto-

several men were in the job and that
the man who broke the window passed
the jewels to confederates.

berries heard OF in New York for a long
time. The shop was about to close
when paving block, covered with
paper, crashed through the window.
and in an instant tray of diamond
rings and pins disappeared. One of
the clerks jumped over the counter
and pursued the man who broke the
window. A great crowd followed, and
when the man was overtaken he was
buried under a score of men and so
badly battered that a physician's SER
vices were required. He is 10 years
old and calls himself William Madison.
of Boston
1t is said at the store at the time
the window was broken there were
on show about $150,000 worth of jew
els.
Madison later told the police that
his name is Angus w. Mcpherson, and
that he is bell boy at well-known
hotel in this city. He said that he
was heavily in debt and sought to
relieve his financial stringency by rob-
berry.
