DIAMOND ROBBERY
At ASHEV|LLE
Ten Thousand Dollars
Worth of "SparkIers'
Gone. No Clue
Apparently.

Especial to News and Observer
Asheville, N. c., Oct. 6.-The great
est haul that has yet been made by
robbers in this city and perhaps in
North Carolina, was made some time
last night when burglars entered the
residence of John A. Stewart. at A
West Chestnut street, and secured
$4,000 worth of diamonds. The Jewels
and jewelry stolen are:
One diamond brooch with nine large
and thirteen small diamonds, valued
at $4,000; necklace. Semi-creScent,
with five large and twenty small dia-
monds, valued at $4,000; ring. two
large and twenty small diamonds.
valued at 1000 bracelet, thirty small
diamonds valued at $500: brooch, fif-
teen small diamonds, valued at $500.
The total valuation is 100000.
Mr.. Stewart came here about year
ago from Switzerland. He leased the
residence at IA West Chestnut street
and has since made this city his home.
1t is not known at what time the rob-
berry occurred last night, as the dis
covery that the house had been en-
tered was not made until this morn
ing.
1t is supposed that entrance was eff
fected by means of a skeleton key,
ana it is believed that the work was
that of professionals. The police de-
partment was notified shortly after the
discovery was made and Chief Jordan
dispatched officers to the scene. So
far as known there is no clue to the
robbery.
Two other places were attacked.
These were G.. A. Greers' grocery es--
Enlistment and the harness store of
Alexander, Costen & Glass. Entrance
to both Of these places were made by
means of rear window. No money
was secured, although the cash regis
tiers were tempered with and damaged.
